HCSS Resources

In the shop or the office, your shop and fleet managers, project managers, superintendents, accountants and payroll managers, and executives can use Equipment360 Manager software downloaded onto their laptops or PCs to turn preventative maintenance alerts into work orders, schedule and assign work orders, and make smart asset management decisions. Shop managers can review and approve time cards, then send the time cards to payroll and accounting.

Equipment360 Mechanic System allows your mechanics to enter field data, interact with work orders, and access time cards using a desktop or laptop. Equipment360 Mobile Mechanic, available as an iPad app, allows your mechanics to have access to work orders and enter time and parts information anytime, anywhere, saving them the hassle of returning to the shop after visiting a job site.

HCSS has created direct interfaces between Equipment360 and most accounting systems used by construction companies large and small. This integration allows your accounting department to easily transfer the time cards into your accounting system to make payroll and accounting even easier. Integrating Equipment360 with your accounting system helps eliminate paper trails, reduce manual entry between departments, and minimize double entry errors.

If your company has built its own in-house accounting system, or if you use a software system that we have not yet built an interface with, HCSS is happy to build a custom integration for an additional charge.

Most of our customers choose Equipment360 because it integrates with other HCSS software they own. A lot of companies manage their fleet with the equipment module that comes with their accounting software. They usually switch to Equipment360 because they need more features than what comes with the accounting software.

The number of Equipment360 licenses your organization should purchase depends on your company size and number of users. HCSS bases the suggested number of Equipment360 Manager licenses on the number of shop or fleet managers, executives, superintendents, project managers, accountants, and payroll managers that will be accessing Equipment360 at one time.

Equipment360 for the PC and laptop features shared licenses that can be used concurrently, so multiple users can be in the Manager system at one time.

Equipment360 Mechanic licenses for both laptop and mobile, as well as Mobile Mechanic licenses, are individually named per user. These licenses belong to the individual user and can travel from device to device by logging into the app. Since mechanic licenses cannot be shared, you should purchase one license for each user accessing the Mechanic (or Mobile Mechanic) system.

Equipment360 uses alerts to drive your Preventative Maintenance schedule. Preventative Maintenance alerts are based off of three parameters: calendar days, runtime hours, and your equipment’s odometer.

In Equipment360, you can track multiple types of alerts, certification and licensing for your equipment, due dates for your work orders, field requests, preventative maintenance, reorder level for your inventory items, skills for your employees, and warranties for your equipment. These alerts can easily be turned into work orders in three clicks.
