Sound familiar?

Machines on the move are hard to manage on paper.

Services slip between sites

The loader moved to another project last month. Its hour meter kept running, and nobody noticed the 1000 hour service had passed.

Fuel and repair costs stay hidden

Fuel sits in one spreadsheet, parts in another, invoices in a drawer. Nobody can say which machine costs more to run than it earns.

Breakdowns wait for phone calls

The operator calls the foreman, the foreman calls the workshop, and the fitter drives out without the right filter. The machine stands all day.

How Solmex fixes it

One system for every machine, on every site.

Prevent

Service by hours and kilometres

Set a plan for excavators, loaders, trucks and generators once. Supervisors enter meter readings from a phone, and Solmex shows which services are due, due soon or overdue.

Plans by hour meter, odometer or date
Daily meter entry for every site
Tasks and parts listed per interval

Control

Know what each machine really costs

Fuel fills, parts issued and repair work post to the machine they belong to. Solmex flags a fill that does not match the machine's own history and shows the cost per machine.

Fuel logged per machine and site
Unusual consumption flagged on entry
Owned and hired machines side by side

Respond

Get a broken machine back to work

The operator scans the QR label on the cab and reports the fault with a photo. The workshop sees the machine, the site and the problem, and downtime is counted from that moment.

Your numbers

What is unplanned downtime costing you?

Move the sliders to match your operation. The starting values are typical for the sector, not a promise.

Critical machines (excavators, loaders, trucks, cranes)

Hours of unplanned downtime per asset, per year

Cost of one hour of downtime on one machine

Unplanned downtime costs you about $0

Planned maintenance that avoids 30% of it is worth $0

An estimate from your own inputs. The 30% is set below published results on purpose: NIST found 44% less downtime at plants that invested more in preventive and predictive maintenance.

No risk to try

Start small. Keep your data. Leave any time.

Free to start, free to stay

Every account gets 14 days of the Business plan. After that, one user and up to 25 assets stay free with no time limit.

Operators, cleaners and tenants report faults by scanning a QR code. People who only report are free on every plan.

Your data stays yours

Export every record to Excel whenever you like, or take a full export of the whole account. Nothing is locked in.

Private and controlled

Your company's records are kept apart from every other customer's, every change is logged, and you decide who can see and do what.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can we schedule services by hours and kilometres?

Yes. Each plan can use the hour meter, the odometer or the calendar, and a truck can be tracked on both meters at once. Supervisors enter readings on a daily grid or from a phone, and Solmex shows what is due, due soon or overdue.

Can we manage hired and subcontracted machines too?

Yes. Every machine carries its ownership: owned, rented or subcontractor, with the rental company where it applies. Hired machines get the same meter readings, fuel records and breakdowns as your own, so you can compare them on the same terms.

How do operators report a fault?

Each machine gets a QR label. The operator scans it with a phone and reports the fault with a photo, without needing an account. People who only report problems are free on every plan, so every operator on every site can use it.

How long does it take to get started?

Import your machine list from Excel, with hours, kilometres and last service, and set up plans for your main machine types. Most teams are entering readings within a few days. Every new account gets 14 days of the Business plan free, with no card needed.
