Challenges Faced Prior to Locate2u

Loss of expensive machinery 

“A lot of the machinery would be sent out on the field at several different locations all at once and then there’d be a time at the end of the week where things would get lost, the boys can’t remember the project where things were on” – Fiorella Borsellino, Administration Manager 

Scalzo & Wilks handle thousands of dollars worth of machinery and equipment and not having the technology to track everything increases the risk for loss. 

Fiorella discussed the constant loss of expensive machinery and the way it negatively impacted the business’ cost-effectiveness. Not to mention the time it took to sort out and order new equipment. 

“Things were constantly getting lost and these types of machinery aren’t cheap. They’re all in the thousands. To lose that constantly wasn’t very cost-effective at all”  – Fiorella Borsellino, Administration Manager  

Time spent finding machinery

Losing machinery on a regular basis proved to also be a time-consuming task, in which team members would spend an entire day trying to locate equipment. 

“The boys would have to dedicate a full day to go out and find the machinery.” – Fiorella Borsellino, Administration Manager 

This became highly inconvenient in which those hours spent looking could’ve been applied to other projects.  

Solution

Upon starting her role as Administration Manager, Fiorella Borsellino was recommended to look into Locate2u by one of the Directors. 

“When I started one of my priorities when I started around 5 months ago was to see how we could manage the tools and that’s when I came across Locate2u. One of my directors recommended it.” – Fiorella Borsellino, Administration Manager

“Time of having to spend with employees out there on the field, going from job to job across Sydney to find them. It’s definitely saved days. The boys would have to dedicate a full day to go out and find the machinery.”– Fiorella Borsellino, Administration Manager  

Should equipment go missing, Locate2u makes the recovery process much easier so team members can focus on their projects. No more wasting an entire day!

Money saved 

The amount of equipment being lost each week was a problem Fiorella sought to fix. Accessing the exact times and locations of every piece of machinery has made recovery all the easier.

Fiorella has found the Locate2u platform to be exceedingly easy to navigate, especially for team members who are not so experienced in advanced technology. 

“I personally love the website. It’s so easy to use and navigate.” – Fiorella Borsellino, Administration Manager  

She also discussed that the visual nature of the platform has been a big hit with team members as they can see A to B and how things are tracked. It’s very much a visual perspective that works well with those in the construction industry. 

“The boys are very visual so having a map, physically seeing A to B and how things are tracked is perfect. Especially for this industry and the boys who have a very much visual perspective on things” – Fiorella Borsellino, Administration Manager
