What is this?
Capacity Gaps compares what your plan needs with the equipment you have. It works per asset type, for the dates you are viewing.
Red cards show where you are short. You see it early, while you still have time to move work, rent, or buy.
Who's this for?
- Equipment managers, see which asset types will run short next.
- Operations managers, decide when to rent and when to shift a job.
- Estimators, check whether a new bid fits in your fleet.
