With a suite of digital systems from Caterpillar and Hastings Deering, it’s as easy as clicking a button to keep your fleet organised
For machine owners, access to clear information is key for the successful management and maintenance of their assets.
Hastings Deering and Caterpillar have made access to your fleet’s information as frictionless as possible, developing simple portals that puts everything you need in the palm of your hand.
HD 360
For Hastings Deering customers, the HD360 platform has been developed to make managing your account straightforward.
“Our customers are at the centre of everything we do,” Hastings Deering executive general manager– construction Industries Sebastian Banks says.
“No matter the size of your business, we’ve taken the time to understand what’s important to you and how we can help keep you productive. That’s why we developed HD360 a smart digital platform designed to make your life easier.”
“HD360 is your single digital entry point into Hastings Deering,”
Through HD360, you can manage invoices, check financial information, request Cat™ Finance, or even increase your credit limit.
“We wanted to create a digital front door that was as frictionless as the physical front door.
“Any transaction you do with us, you should be able to do through a digital application.
“For our customers, having to get off their machine to make a call and order a part means that they’re not making money. We want them to do that at the touch of their finger, right there in the cab.”
“Through HD360 you can also seamlessly access Parts.Cat.Com and VisionLink.”
VisionLink
Where unplanned downtime and underutilisation of assets can cost a business a significant amount of money each year, choosing machinery that is backed by a platform that can supply real-time data to help decision making is vital.
VisionLink from Caterpillar is a vital tool in the decision maker’s arsenal that can help increase productivity, reduce costs and ensure that maintenance issues are spotted and addressed before a machine breaks down.
Whether you have one machine or 1,000, VisionLink’s cloud-based platform provides up-to-date information on each individual machine’s location, health and current status, giving fleet managers key insights wherever they are located.
VisionLink can provide a wide range of information about each machine, including hours of operation, fuel levels, fault codes and service schedule, which can then be sorted by projects, groups, or geofences.
Utilisation targets can be set and monitored as part of an overall strategy to increase productivity and reduce operating costs. Workflows can also be created to schedule and track tasks, such as buying parts or requesting servicing.
Even more impressively, VisionLink can be used for both Cat and non-Cat machinery, meaning data can be collated across a mixed fleet, whether owned or rented.
