FAQs
Can operators complete digital prestarts if they are out of mobile service?
Yes. The Cloudcon construction mobile app is built for remote earthmoving sites. Operators can complete daily prestarts and defect logs completely offline. The data caches securely on the device and syncs to the workshop the second the tablet hits Wi-Fi or cellular range.
Do we have to manually enter engine hours to schedule heavy plant servicing?
No. By integrating directly with OEM telematics (such as CAT VisionLink or Komatsu Komtrax) or third-party GPS units, Cloudcon automatically pulls live SMU and engine hours daily. This data instantly triggers automated service alerts without manual data entry.
Can we create our own prestart checklists for different types of machinery?
Yes. A 30-ton excavator requires a completely different daily inspection than a light vehicle, a generator, or a crane. Our system allows you to build and assign your own digital inspection templates for specific asset classes, giving you audit-ready records you can produce on request for NHVAS and Chain of Responsibility requirements.
How does the software handle workshop inventory and spare parts for repairs?
When a mechanic actions a digital work order, they can allocate specific spare parts and fluids directly from your digital inventory. This automatically deducts the stock, applies the cost to the specific asset's lifetime maintenance profile, and alerts procurement when inventory levels drop below minimum thresholds.
Does the system provide utilisation reports for rented versus owned equipment?
Yes. Cloudcon acts as your central commercial dashboard, providing real-time utilisation tracking. CFOs and Fleet Managers can instantly compare active engine hours against idle time to determine if rented gear needs to be off-hired or if owned assets are bleeding project margins.
How do operators access asset compliance documents in the field?
Every machine in your fleet is assigned a unique system QR code. Operators or site safety inspectors can scan the QR code using their mobile device to view the machine's registration papers, risk assessments, and most recent service history, so the records are there when an inspector asks.
