Every dollar and every minute count in construction, yet many businesses struggle to track labor and equipment across dispersed job sites. The result is wasted resources, tight labor markets strained even further, and profit margins that steadily erode.

FleetWatcher is changing that dynamic by making realtime resource tracking both practical and actionable. As a pioneering provider of telematics solutions, FleetWatcher has developed two state-of-the-art tools: the Material Management Solution (MMS) and the Construction Management Solution (CMS). Together, they provide contractors with instant insight into how and where their people, trucks, and equipment are performing—all at the touch of a button.

“Our goal is to help our clients maximize resource efficiency, making sure every person and asset in the field is focused on the highest-value task at any time,” Adam Harshman, President.

At the heart of FleetWatcher’s offering is its MMS platform, designed specifically for asphalt and aggregate producers in paving and road-building. By integrating telematics devices on trucks, a purpose-built mobile application, and seamless connections to industry point-of-sale systems—including Samsara—the solution captures every load, every route, and every ton delivered. What used to take weeks of manual data collection now appears instantly on a centralized dashboard: feet paved per minute, trucking cost per ton, and tons laid per hour. When the cost of a job that was bid at five dollars per ton creeps toward six dollars due to unnecessary hauls or inefficient routing, proactive alerts notify foremen and superintendents in real time, prompting immediate corrective action. This level of visibility not only slashes expense overruns but also drives accountability at every level of the project hierarchy.

A recent engagement with RJ Daigle & Sons illustrates MMS in action. Facing a leadership transition into its third generation, the firm needed tighter control over its fleet and third-party hauling costs. After rolling out FleetWatcher’s MMS, they reduced third-party truck payment processing from one and a half days to just three hours. By eliminating excess trucks, the company saved five thousand dollars daily. Faster, more scalable dispatching and richer project-planning insights followed, all without compromising profitability or contractor relationships.

While MMS focuses on the flow of materials, FleetWatcher’s CMS delivers comparable transparency for heavy-civil equipment and labor. By assigning each operator to their machine and monitoring key engine metrics—such as RPMs, fault codes, and PTO usage— the platform reveals exactly when assets are productive and when they sit idle. Industry studies have long shown that roughly forty percent of equipment time on site is non-productive. CMS addresses this by highlighting unproductive cycles and helping supervisors balance workloads, reduce overtime expenses, and ensure crews remain focused on their highest-value tasks. Later this year, the addition of front- and rear-facing cameras, custom DVIR inspection reports, and Bluetooth-enabled tracking for handheld tools will further close visibility gaps on every project.

MMS and CMS function in tandem to eliminate both over-trucking and under-utilized labor. Whether fleets are hauling aggregate or bulldozers are preparing a grading pad, FleetWatcher ensures that every asset— mechanical or human—operates in lockstep toward project goals. That unified approach transforms field management from guesswork into a simple glance at real-time data.
The company’s recent acquisition by Align Ops has only strengthened this mission. Integration with complementary platforms such as BusyBusy for workforce tracking, ToolWatch for tool management, and Safety Reports for OSHA compliance means contractors can now oversee material flow, machine productivity, labor deployment, and safety metrics from a single pane of glass. This ecosystem of field solutions elevates operational efficiency while reducing the administrative burden of managing multiple, disconnected systems.

What once felt unattainable—complete, real-time control over field resources—has become standard practice through FleetWatcher’s wireless fleet management. By turning raw telematics into actionable intelligence, the company has set a new industry benchmark for doing more with less. Today, contractors across North America rely on FleetWatcher’s MMS and CMS to reclaim lost profitability, optimize resource utilization, and keep projects on time and on budget. In an era defined by razor-thin margins, such clarity is not just an advantage; it’s a necessity.
