Managing Machine Status

You can set the Service Status for machines as being In Service or Out of Service, allowing you to understand if any dry hire machines are not meeting the minimum hours requirements as set in contractual agreements. The Service Status can be viewed and edited from the Plant page in the SafeSite app or from the Plant page in the Virtual Super.

The details of the Service Status for your machines can be viewed in dashboards or reports and therefore can be shared with the appropriate suppliers via daily emails. This transparency around the usage of machines reduces disputes around the minimum hours agreements at the end of each month.

Foremen can view a list of the machines working for them each day. If they receive a notification of a failed machine checklist, they can set the Service Status accordingly in the SafeSite app. This status will be visible in the Plant page in the SafeSite app and the Plant page of the Virtual Super.
