Penton’s EquipmentWatch Adds New Fleet Manager Data Customization Enhancements
12/11/2007
NEW YORK (December 11, 2007) - Penton Media's EquipmentWatch, a leading provider of online heavy equipment data, today announced two new enhancements to its EquipmentWatch Fleet Manager product which allow users to further customize databases related to their heavy equipment fleets. The new "custom equipment" tool enables users to enter and save their own rates or values for equipment not found in the basic service database, while the "composite equipment" feature allows users to combine rates for multiple pieces of equipment into a single unit. More information on these and other capabilities is available at
www.equipmentwatch.com.
Composite rates for individual items are automatically totaled into a single rate and composite equipment can be edited to add or remove components. Data can be exported via spreadsheet with standard fleets or sent to printable reports.
EquipmentWatch Fleet Manager users can track ownership and operating costs, or market values, based on industry-standard reference data from the Rental Rate Blue Book, Green Guide, and Custom Cost Evaluator for more than 15,000 pieces of heavy equipment, the broadest range of equipment cost data available in the industry.
