Construction equipment maintenance tracking: hours, kilometres, calendar
A machine that is stopped means work waiting, a delayed site or a rental to pay for instead. KALEA tracks each machine at its real pace: by hour meter, by odometer, by calendar, or both at once, and warns you before the due date is missed.
The right tracking for each machine
An excavator is tracked in hours, a van in kilometres, a generator by calendar. KALEA handles all three, with dual tracking when needed (for example hours and calendar): the first interval reached triggers the alert and prepares the service checklist.
Reading the meter without wasting time
- One-step entry from the machine sheet.
- Photo reading: photograph the meter and KALEA reads the value (depending on the plan).
- Automatic meters with a telemetry box: hours and kilometres update on their own (Enterprise plan, hardware extra).
A QR code on every machine
Stick a QR code on the machine: one scan with the phone camera opens its sheet directly (meter, next due date, history, service button). Handy on a site, where nobody has time to search a list. Equipment and site QR codes are included from the Business plan.
Reminders and breakdowns
- Reminders before the due date by e-mail and notifications, sent to the right role: manager, mechanic, driver.
- Breakdown reporting from the phone by the operator, with follow-up on the manager's side.
- Downtime cost of a breakdown, to measure what a stopped machine really costs.

Frequently asked questions
Can I track vehicles and equipment in the same tool?
Yes: each machine picks its tracking unit (hours or kilometres), with a calendar on top if needed.
Do I need a box on every machine?
No. Manual or photo reading is enough. Automatic meters are an option (Enterprise plan, hardware extra).
Are QR codes included?
Yes, from the Business plan. You print the label from the application.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in the browser and as an Android app. The phone is used for meter reading, QR code scanning and breakdown reporting.
