Family 02 — Fleet & Projects

Every machine assigned.
Every project costed.

Fleet & Projects connects your equipment to the work it does. Every hour a machine runs on a job site gets attributed to the right project — automatically. You always know what each contract is costing you in equipment, before the job closes.

The problem

You finish jobs not knowing what the equipment actually cost.

Machines move between job sites, operators log hours inconsistently, and by the time the invoice lands there's no clean way to know what each project consumed.

"We move equipment between three active projects and nobody tracks which hours go where."

Without project-level assignment, every piece of equipment's operating cost gets lumped into overhead. You can't know which jobs are profitable and which are bleeding you out.

"I find out we went over on equipment costs after we've already invoiced the client."

By the time job costing is done, the opportunity to adjust scope, rate, or hours is already gone. You're reconciling the loss, not preventing it.

"Our excavator sat idle on site for 11 days last quarter. We had no idea."

Underutilized equipment on an active job is pure cost. But without utilization data per project, you can't catch idle machines or redeploy them where they're needed.

"Operator hours are tracked in a spreadsheet that's two weeks behind."

When the only source of equipment-hour data is a paper log or a shared spreadsheet, you're always running on old information — and making decisions based on a lag that costs real money.

"I have no idea what our fleet utilization rate is across active projects."

If your machines are running at 40% utilization and you're paying for 100%, you're either underquoting jobs or overbuying capacity. You can't fix what you can't see.

"When projects overlap, equipment scheduling is done by phone call."

Coordinating shared equipment across multiple active sites over text and calls is how scheduling conflicts, double-bookings, and stranded machines happen. Every week.

Your fleet is your biggest variable cost. It shouldn't be invisible on your project P&L.

Every hour a machine runs is either making you money or costing you margin. The difference between a profitable contract and a breakeven one is often buried in untracked equipment hours. Torgix surfaces it — in real time, by project, by machine.

How it works

Project cost attribution, done automatically.

Four steps from machine on a job site to a real project cost you can act on.

STEP 01

Assign fleet to projects

Attach machines to jobs in Torgix. When an asset moves to a new site, reassign it. Every operating hour flows to the right project from that point forward.

STEP 02

Capture hours automatically

Telematics data and operator logs feed Torgix in real time. No manual entry, no week-old spreadsheets. Hours are captured when they happen.

STEP 03

Cost every hour to your project

Torgix applies your ownership cost per machine — fuel, depreciation, financing, maintenance — to every hour logged. Your project sees the real cost, not a billing rate estimate.

STEP 04

Monitor utilization and act

See utilization rates across your active fleet. Identify idle machines before they become a problem. Redeploy or pull equipment with the data to back up the decision.

What you get

Fleet visibility that makes every project close cleaner.

From project assignment to utilization alerts, every tool in Fleet & Projects is built to give you control over your biggest variable cost.

Project-level cost allocation

Every machine hour, fuel fill, and repair cost is attributed to the project it happened on. Close a job and see the real equipment cost — not an estimate, not a billing rate allocation.

Equipment scheduling & deployment

See which machines are assigned, which are idle, and what's coming free. Schedule equipment across projects without phone calls and without conflicts.

Real-time utilization tracking

Know your fleet utilization rate per project and across your whole operation. Catch underperforming assets before they drag margin on a contract you're counting on.

Operator hour logging

Operators log hours against the right project directly in Torgix. No more paper timesheets, no more reconciliation two weeks after the work happened.

In-progress project cost view

See how much each active project has consumed in equipment cost — today, this week, this month. Compare to budget. Catch overruns while there's still time to act.

Multi-project fleet overview

One view of every machine, every project, every utilization rate. Stop managing your fleet across scattered spreadsheets, texts, and phone calls.

Ask about your fleet the way you actually think about it.

Torgix AI understands your fleet and your projects. Ask in plain English and get a real answer — not a report you have to build first.

What's the equipment cost on the Riverside Bridge project so far this month?
AI
Riverside Bridge — equipment cost, month to date:

Total: $41,280 across 6 assets

Top contributors:
• Volvo EC380 excavator — $14,600 (312 hrs @ $46.80/hr)
• Cat 745 articulated truck — $11,900 (280 hrs @ $42.50/hr)
• Komatsu D65 dozer — $8,640 (192 hrs @ $45.00/hr)

Your budget for equipment on this project is $95,000. You're at 43% of budget with the project 38% complete — tracking slightly over.

The Volvo EC380 has been idle for 4 of the last 7 days. Want me to flag it for redeployment?

Yes, and show me which of my other projects could use an excavator right now.
AI
Projects currently requesting excavator capacity:

• Millcreek Industrial Site — Phase 2 grading starts next week, no excavator assigned
• Harborview Utilities — 2 weeks of trench work, current excavator running at 100% utilization

The Volvo EC380 is available now. I can draft the redeployment note to your operations team — want me to include the project cost summary?

What changes when your fleet is connected to your projects.

The difference is closing contracts knowing exactly what they cost you in equipment — not estimating after the fact.

Without Torgix
  • Equipment hours reconciled weeks after a job closes
  • Project equipment costs are estimates, not actuals
  • Idle machines on active sites go unnoticed for days
  • Scheduling conflicts resolved by phone and guesswork
  • No visibility into utilization across your active fleet
  • Profitable and unprofitable contracts look the same mid-job
With Torgix
  • Every machine hour attributed to the right project, in real time
  • Project equipment costs are actual — fuel, depreciation, maintenance, all of it
  • Idle machine alerts the same day, with redeployment suggestions
  • Fleet scheduling in one view across all active projects
  • Live utilization rate per asset and per project
  • Know which jobs are over on equipment cost while there's still time to act

Know what every project is costing you — before it's too late to change it.
