GPS Tracking Technology for Construction Equipment Saves Companies Big Money
The U.S. construction equipment industry generates nearly $26 billion annually in revenue, the second largest in the world. However, financial analysts estimate U.S. construction companies lose more than $1 billion annually from theft, a figure that have been rising by 10 percent a year since 1996. The two numbers paint a dire picture of an industry in dire need of construction equipment tracking technology as a safeguard to offset this huge drain.
While comprising nearly 9 percent of the economy’s gross domestic product as a whole, the construction industry is dynamic and transient – unlike the manufacturing sector. Equipment, resources and workforces are constantly on the go, moving from site to site and project to project. The number of people working in the U.S. construction industry has remained relatively steady at nearly 7 million during the first six months of 2016.
This fast-paced, open work environment has fostered a more brazen attitude among prospective thieves who increasingly consider taking anything of potential value: Backhoes, heavy-equipment vehicles, bulldozers and evacuators are all fair game. Stolen or misplaced property can cost companies millions of dollar and delay projects for weeks.
