Hitachi improves fleet management for construction equipment in France

Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) NV (HCME), a global leader in construction equipment manufacturing, and ShareMat, a prominent provider of professional software and fleet management systems (FMS) for construction equipment, proudly announce a strategic collaboration aimed at transforming construction equipment management in France.

This exclusive partnership, effective April 1, 2024, will introduce cutting-edge telematics services for HCME equipment, revolutionizing how construction machinery is operated and monitored in the region.

At the heart of this collaboration lies a shared commitment to elevate the performance and efficiency of construction equipment through advanced telematics solutions. HCME equipment, equipped with factory-integrated telematics, will now transmit operational data at intervals ranging from every 24 hours to as frequently as every 10 minutes, for machines weighing three tons and above. This real-time data delivery ensures precise equipment management, empowering users with accurate insights while eliminating inaccuracies associated with recalculated information. In a departure from conventional approaches, HCME is dedicated to providing a neutral telematics platform for its clientele, making ShareMat the natural choice for this transformative partnership.

This alliance underscores the shared vision of HCME and ShareMat to pioneer intelligent features in construction machinery, catering to evolving industry demands. Key facets of the collaboration include:

• Customization of ShareMat systems to meet specific customer requirements and expectations.
• Alignment with the vision and specifications outlined by HCME and ShareMat for a comprehensive, multi-brand platform catering to diverse construction equipment needs.
• Seamless integration of HITACHI equipment into the ShareMat platform through direct API services.
• Provision of first-line technical support by ShareMat, with HCME offering auxiliary assistance in resolving technical queries.
• Commitment to ongoing advancements on technical and commercial fronts, ensuring continuous enhancement of services.

To bolster the collaboration, an extensive marketing and commercial strategy has been devised. Emphasizing the neutrality of the ShareMat brand, the campaign will spotlight the robust contractual relationship between HCME and ShareMat in France, affirming the reliability and efficacy of this collaboration.
