Centralized Monitoring of Bins and Containers
Tracking rental bins is essential for protecting assets and optimizing their use. Bins like dumpsters, portable storage units, scrap bins, and large containers are often left in various locations, making them vulnerable to theft or loss. SHIFT’s solution uses advanced asset trackers to provide regular location updates and comprehensive management tools. This system ensures secure and efficient monitoring of all rental bins, improving logistics and asset security. It is a vital tool for businesses to maintain control over their distributed assets and enhance operational efficiency.
- Construction site thefts in Canada result in annual losses of up to $1 billion.
- A survey of 100 Canadian construction companies revealed that each company experienced theft on average twice a year.
- Less than 25% of stolen equipment is ever recovered, highlighting the challenge of dealing with theft in the construction industry.
Challenges
