Equipment usage tracking in SimplySub helps subcontractors keep a clear record of which equipment was used, who operated it, and how long it was active on a job.
Instead of relying on scattered notes or memory at the end of the day, crews can log equipment usage directly from the job record. This helps the office understand equipment activity, review job costs, and bill usage more accurately when needed.
What this Feature Spotlight covers
This video walks through how to record equipment usage on a job in SimplySub.
- Accessing equipment usage from the job record
- Selecting the equipment used, such as a dozer, excavator, or track loader
- Assigning an operator to each equipment usage record
- Adjusting start and stop times to calculate total usage hours
- Adding notes for extra jobsite context
- Saving multiple equipment usage records to the same job
- Viewing equipment hours and related cost or billable rate details
Why it matters
Equipment time can be easy to miss, especially when crews are moving quickly across a jobsite. By tracking usage as part of the job record, subcontractors get a more reliable view of what equipment was used and how many hours were logged.
This can help with internal job costing, equipment utilization, and billing when equipment is charged by the hour or by the day.
Built to stay simple
SimplySub keeps equipment tracking straightforward. Users can select the equipment, choose the operator, adjust the time, add notes, and save everything back to the job without building a complicated workflow.
Equipment usage can be logged from desktop or mobile, which makes it practical for both office staff and field crews.
