How Hubble Construction masters asset visibility and maintenance management with expert fleet tracking

Dissatisfaction with fleet tracking software leads to missed opportunities

Fleet tracking is a powerful tool for unlocking increased efficiency, improved safety, reduced operational costs, and more, but research shows most construction companies underutilize this valuable asset. In fact, a Construction Dive survey revealed a majority of companies only track their most expensive equipment, leaving the remainder of their fleets unmonitored.

Hesitancy to use fleet tracking to its fullest isn’t a surprise considering that a shocking 97% of companies feel their current tracking software doesn’t meet their needs—often listing maintenance and inaccurate asset data as major pain points.

To confront the construction industry’s greatest challenges, contractors need effective fleet management. Hubble Construction found the solution in One Step GPS, a fleet monitoring platform that helps them effortlessly track their entire fleet of cars, trucks, heavy equipment, and more without the frustration many other systems cause.

Frustration-free fleet tracking for every asset

Tracking and maintaining a diverse fleet in Michigan’s demanding seasonal conditions comes with unique challenges, and Hubble Construction needed a fleet tracking service up to the task. The team was impressed by One Step GPS’ full offering of devices to cover every car, truck, trailer, piece of equipment, unpowered asset, and more—with rugged options to withstand construction operations in Michigan’s harsh winters and humid summers.

One Step GPS offers a full range of tracking devices, including:

Plug-in trackers. One of our best-selling trackers , it easily installs into virtually any car, truck, or van.
Hardwired trackers. A popular choice for heavy machinery, trailers, and vehicles, this discrete device is tamper-proof and can be installed in multiple places on the asset.
Rugged hardwired trackers. Able to withstand dust, debris, weather, and water exposure, this tracker is perfect for construction applications.
Battery-powered trackers. For assets without their own power source, this tracker is the ideal choice. These provide up to several years of battery life.
Solar-powered trackers. When changing batteries is inconvenient, the One Step GPS solar-powered tracker is the device of choice. Ideal for rural or remotely deployed assets.
AI-powered dashcams. All the benefits of GPS tracking combined with HD, optional dual-facing video footage. Ensure safe driving behavior, exonerate innocent drivers against false claims, and more with these AI-powered devices.

One Step GPS devices install easily in minutes or less so you can get on the road quickly. Here are a few ways Hubble Construction uses our devices and user-friendly platform to maximize efficiency and productivity.

1. Intuitive tracking for every vehicle and asset

For a complete asset data and maintenance solution, Hubble Construction knew they needed a GPS tracking service capable of providing full fleet visibility from one simple interface. Our transparent and friendly pricing of $13.95 per month per device made top-tier tracking accessible for the company's entire fleet.

With One Step GPS, Hubble Construction can seamlessly track each of its assets in real time from a single dashboard. Our desktop, mobile, and tablet apps have the team covered wherever their operations take them, allowing precise tracking anytime, anywhere.

Here are a few fleet visibility features that set One Step GPS apart from competitors:

Precise, live location data. Locate each vehicle and asset at a glance via map and list views. Our GPS devices are accurate to within about 8 feet and update every 1 to 30 seconds, giving you a current view of your entire fleet at any moment.
Live traffic overlays. One Step GPS live traffic overlays help you reroute crew members at a glance in response to traffic changes. Increase productivity, save on fuel costs, and reduce needed maintenance by cutting down on time spent idling.
Historical route data. Increase productivity with access to information like driving start and end times and stops along a route. Construction fleets can use this data to ensure drivers adhere to designated routes and make the most of their shifts.
Roaming SIM cards. Our devices use roaming SIMs, which allow them to pair with the strongest provider or cell network available for the highest speed and connectivity. No matter how rural the project, you'll always stay on track with One Step GPS.
Customizable live alerts. With customizable live alerts, One Step GPS keeps you updated on your fleet even when the app is closed. Set your operating hours and geofences to create optional alerts for after-hours use, vehicles entering or leaving construction sites, operation outside defined areas, deviation from approved routes, speeding, and more. Alerts are available via text, email, and the One Step GPS app to as many personnel as needed—at no additional charge.
