- Real-time GPS tracking monitors heavy machinery location and utilisation 24/7.
- Anti-theft systems combine immobilisation tech with instant tamper alerts.
- Smart geofencing enforces virtual boundaries with automated compliance reporting.
With construction equipment theft rising 29% year-over-year (UK Plant Theft Report 2023), Pace’s solutions address critical industry pain points while delivering measurable ROI through operational optimisation.
Revolutionising asset management through precision tracking
Pace Technology‘s telematics platform transforms fleet management for construction firms by delivering millimeter-level equipment tracking. The system’s IoT sensors capture real-time data on location, engine hours, and fuel consumption, enabling operators to identify underutilised assets across multiple job sites. Advanced diagnostics predict maintenance needs before breakdowns occur, reducing unplanned downtime by up to 35%. Customisable dashboards provide project managers with actionable insights, from idle time analysis to operator efficiency ratings. Particularly valuable for hire companies, the solution automatically generates utilisation reports for client billing reconciliation. With cloud-based historical data spanning five years, businesses can optimise fleet composition based on verified usage patterns rather than estimates. The platform integrates seamlessly with existing ERP systems, eliminating duplicate data entry.

Multi-Layered security architecture combats equipment theft
The company’s proprietary security suite addresses the £400 million annual problem of construction plant theft in the UK. Triple-authentication systems combine GPS tracking with RFID tag verification and biometric operator recognition. When unauthorised movement occurs, the system triggers a cascading alert protocol – notifying site managers, security teams, and local police within 90 seconds. Unique among competitors, Pace’s solution offers graduated response options: from warning sirens and engine throttling to complete remote immobilisation. Insurance partners report 62% faster recovery times for stolen equipment using the platform’s last-known location mapping. The tamper-proof hardware features cellular and satellite backup connectivity, ensuring continuous operation even when thieves attempt signal jamming. All security events automatically populate audit trails for insurance claims and compliance documentation.

Intelligent Geofencing Redefines Site Control Parameters
Pace introduces dynamic geofencing technology that adapts to evolving construction site boundaries. Unlike static competitors’ systems, the AI-powered solution automatically adjusts virtual perimeters as projects progress through different phases. Site managers receive violation alerts when machinery crosses predefined zones, with automated incident reports detailing duration and distance parameters. The system’s proprietary algorithms can distinguish between authorised relocations and potential theft attempts by analysing movement patterns. Integration with payroll systems enables automatic tracking of equipment usage hours per operator, streamlining labour cost calculations. During multi-contractor projects, tiered access permissions ensure subcontractors only operate within designated areas. Environmental monitoring features track fuel emissions within geofenced zones, supporting sustainability reporting requirements under new UK construction regulations.
