Plant

No, not that type of plant. The driving, mowing, moving, doing stuff type of plant.

Just like knowing how staff work provides valuable data on your workforce, knowing how your council is using plant provides a number of advantages. Ensuring accurate costing of projects and reporting for grant funding as well as optimising expenditure and maintenance.

If you know how plant is used, the next time someone asks, “Do we need another digger?”, you can reply with, “Well, the one we bought last year has 5% operational use and 95% standby.” *

*Of course, you would actually use your own figures because you would know them and not just repeat some numbers you read on the internet.

elementTIME allows your staff to be assigned plant that is relevant to them and cost to it accurately. Not just to the job but cartage, mileage, standby hours, or anything else you need to keep track of.

As staff complete their timesheets they can select and cost to plant creating linked but separate plant sheets available to plant coordinators and managers. This means plant can be managed and reviewed without impacting payroll (because payroll staff don’t really like that).

All in all, it is pretty clever.

  • Capture plant use in real-time or retrospectively as staff record hours of work.
  • Trigger extra entitlements based on plant use.
  • Review plant use via separate plantsheets created automatically as soon as plant is selected, and that link that to the user.
  • Add custom capture fields as your plant use evolves allowing you the ability to future proof your management of plant requirements.
  • Link parent and child plant items and even create rules around oncost and charge rates.

Capture all the data

Customisable fields to ensure you capture what you need for the plant you need it for. Pass what you want to your asset system and report on the rest.

Evolve at your pace

You can evolve your plant management as your organisation evolves. Implement at your pace fully supported by use.

Reports you need

It is your data so you can report it. Even if your asset system doesn’t use it, you can still track and report on your data direct from elementTIME.
