The Hidden Costs of Inefficiency: Why Business Leaders Are Rethinking Asset Tracking

Running a business in construction, transport, or energy isn’t easy. You manage big projects, tight schedules, and expensive equipment. But often, you don’t see everything that’s going on. That can lead to delays, wasted money, and stress. 

The Problem 
Construction companies struggle to achieve decent margins. Even with strong teams, too much time and money are lost on avoidable issues. 

The Solution 
Digitization of work processes — including fleet tracking, tool management, and jobsite visibility — brings structure to the chaos. 

The Impact 
Managers can maximize the use of resources in the field, reduce operational waste, and ultimately increase profitability. 

At Logifleet, we work with CEOs, board members, and business owners. They all want the same thing: better results with less chaos. Still, they ask good questions: 

• “Will this help us save money?” 

• “Is it hard to use?” 

• “Will my team even use it?”   

• “Is this just another short-term fix?”   

• “Will this disrupt our current work?”   

This blog is for you. We’ll walk through the real problems many leaders face — and how smart tracking tools help fix them. 

Straightforward insights, built on real-world results — to help you make the right call for your business.

What Worries Business Leaders Before They Invest

Before investing in a tracking solution like Logifleet, business leaders often ask tough questions.  

That’s good.  

It shows they care about results. Here are the most common concerns we hear: 

“Will this help us grow — or just add more work?” 

Strategic leaders want tools that help the business grow. They don’t want more admin. If a system adds steps to their day, it feels like a waste. Tools for fleet tracking, machine tracking, or equipment control need to support growth — not slow it down. They must fit into the company’s workflow without creating chaos. 

“How much money will it really save?” 

It’s not enough to say “It saves money.” Leaders need clear numbers. 
And Logifleet delivers them. 

Liebhauser & Délèze SA (20 vans, 21 machines, 100 tools) cut equipment rental and admin time, saving CHF 114,000 per year on tools alone, plus over 120 hours per month across their team — including depot managers, site workers, and administrative staff. 

Axians SA (133 vans, 8 machines, 51 tools), part of VINCI Energies, reduced fleet mileage by 25% and saved CHF 790,000 annually through better planning, reduced private use, and improved responsiveness to urgent tasks. 

Pizzera & Poletti SA (73 vehicles, 34 machines, 444 tools) automated inventory and reporting processes, leading to a significant reduction in time spent on reporting and a marked improvement in data accuracy and jobsite planning. 

Across our customer base, companies using Logifleet save thousands of hours each year by automating tracking, planning, and reporting tasks — giving teams more time to focus on real work . 

Fuel costs, worker hours, and machine usage all add up fast. 
In industries like construction, logistics, or building technik, every saved hour and optimized route counts.

“Will my team even use it?” 

It’s getting harder and harder to attract and keep great talent. Giving your team the right tools shows that you value their time and want them to succeed. No one wants to buy software that gets ignored. If drivers, technicians, or planners find it too hard, they won’t use it. Business owners want systems their teams can use every day — without long training. A tracking system must be easy on mobile, fast to learn, and helpful from day one. 

“Is this just another short-term fix?” 

Leaders plan for the future. They want solutions that work now and as the company grows. A small business today could have 50 machines tomorrow. They need scalable tools that grow with their fleet, assets, and people. It’s not about quick wins. It’s about long-term success and smarter digital transformation. 

“Will this disrupt our current work?” 

Business can’t stop for software. If a new tool causes delays, rework, or stress — it’s a no. Fleet managers and owners need smooth setups. The rollout must be simple, not full of IT headaches. In fast-moving jobsites or tight delivery schedules, disruption costs money. They want plug-and-play, not pause-and-pray.

We Get It — You’re Under Pressure 

You’ve got a lot on your plate. Every day is a mix of big decisions, tight margins, and fast-moving projects. Maybe you're managing rising fuel costs, missing machines, or trying to keep jobs on schedule. Maybe you’re just tired of chasing updates and relying on guesswork. 

We’ve talked to hundreds of business leaders like you. CEOs, fleet managers, directors — all looking for the same thing: clarity, control, and confidence. 

They don’t want another tool. They want peace of mind. They want proof, not promises. And they want it to work — without making more work.
