3 Reasons Your Heavy Equipment Downtime is Costing You More

1. You’re wasting valuable time searching for parts

Locating the exact part you need for your heavy equipment takes time … lots of time, in fact, spent on calls, texts, and online searches. As the parts requests pile up, so does the time required to manage the process — and what should take minutes ends up spanning hours or days.

2. You can’t find the part you need

If your local dealer or go-to supplier does not have your part available, you’re either out of luck or left with limited options. Even if you locate your part, long lead times and supply chain troubles can delay getting your equipment back up and running.

3. Keeping track of this process is chaotic

It’s nearly IMPOSSIBLE to manually keep tabs on all the key information related to your parts’ purchases, such as when you last purchased the part, who purchased it, how much it cost, what machine it’s for, and more. Often, costly mistakes aren’t caught until it’s too late.


We created Gearflow to solve heavy equipment downtime and save you time and money.
