Machines are a cost centre, not a fixed asset
Most contractors know what a vehicle cost to buy and almost nothing about what it costs to run per job. Fleet closes that gap with the same cost-centre logic as everything else in RelayPlan.
Vans, trucks, excavators and small plant in one register with documents and status.
Service intervals by date or hours, with reminders so maintenance is planned, not emergency.
See which vehicle is assigned to which crew or site, and when it is coming back.
Fuel, service and usage hours post to the projects the machine actually worked on.
Fleet and plant management for construction firms
A mid-sized contractor might run a dozen vans, a few trucks and a yard of small plant. Insurance renewals sit in one inbox, service books in the glovebox, and the question of whether a particular machine earns its keep is essentially unanswerable.
RelayPlan Fleet puts each vehicle and machine on a record with its documents, service plan, allocation history and running costs. Reminders cover registration, insurance and inspections as well as service intervals — so nothing lapses because the person who remembered it was on holiday.
Because usage is booked against projects like any other resource, machine time becomes a real line in job costing. Over a year you can see which plant pays for itself, which is chronically idle, and where hiring would beat owning.
