Discover How It Works

ERM is an equipment resource management platform for shipyards and construction sites, built by Share IT Smart (Arad, Romania).

ERM is not a CMMS and not an asset-accounting register. It does not schedule preventive maintenance or hold asset depreciation. It tracks where equipment is, what it costs, and whether to rent, move, or buy it, across shipyards and construction sites.

Common Challenges

The Hidden Costs of Unmanaged Equipment

Shipyards and construction sites lose hundreds of thousands of euros annually to equipment inefficiency, duplication, and blind spots.

Equipment Sitting Idle

Without real-time utilization data, expensive assets sit idle at one site while another site scrambles for the same equipment type. Overbuying and underuse drive costs up silently.

Opaque Operating Costs

True cost-per-hour for each piece of equipment is unknown. Decisions to buy, rent, or reallocate are based on gut feeling instead of comprehensive cost analysis.

Subcontractor Blind Spots

Leased equipment and external services are tracked in separate spreadsheets. There is no unified view of owned and subcontracted assets operating on the same site.

Reactive Instead of Planned

Equipment requests are handled urgently as crises arise. Without forward visibility into demand and availability, planning is impossible and downtime is accepted as normal.

Our Approach

How ERM Optimizes Equipment Resources

Four integrated capabilities that transform equipment management from reactive firefighting to strategic resource optimization.

Live Tracking

Real-Time Equipment Monitoring

Every asset — cranes, forklifts, conveyors, trucks — is tracked in real time. Know exactly what is running, what is idle, and what needs attention across all sites.

Cost Analysis

Full Cost Transparency

Calculate true cost-per-hour for every equipment unit. Compare owned vs. leased costs, track operational expenses, and make data-driven buy/rent/sell decisions.

Unified Fleet

Owned and Subcontracted Together

Manage your own equipment and subcontractor assets in a single system. Full transparency over external services, leased units, and partnerships alongside owned resources.

Smart Planning

Intelligent Resource Allocation

Allocate equipment to work zones using data-driven scheduling. Anticipate demand, prevent conflicts, and eliminate the urgent last-minute requests that disrupt operations.

Equipment Dashboard

Real-Time Fleet Overview Across All Sites

See every piece of equipment across all your operational sites in a single dashboard. Live utilization rates, location tracking, operational status, and maintenance alerts give you complete visibility into your entire fleet.

  • Complete fleet inventory with type, location, and current status
  • Real-time utilization rates per equipment unit and per site
  • Automatic alerts for idle equipment, maintenance due, and anomalies
  • Multi-site view with drill-down to individual equipment details
Cost Analysis

Data-Driven Equipment Investment Decisions

Calculate the true operating cost for every piece of equipment — including fuel, maintenance, depreciation, operator hours, and downtime. Compare owned equipment costs against rental alternatives and generate reports that support strategic buy, rent, or dispose decisions.

  • True cost-per-hour calculation including all operational expenses
  • Side-by-side comparison of ownership vs. rental economics
  • Subcontractor cost tracking with invoice reconciliation
  • Customizable cost reports by equipment, site, period, or operation
Planning & Allocation

Intelligent Equipment Scheduling Across Work Zones

Allocate equipment to work zones based on demand, availability, and priority. Visual scheduling shows exactly when and where each asset is assigned, preventing double-booking and ensuring the right equipment reaches the right site at the right time.

  • Visual timeline scheduling with drag-and-drop equipment allocation
  • Automatic conflict detection when equipment is double-booked
  • Forward demand forecasting based on project schedules and historical usage
  • Allocation optimization to minimize idle time and transport between sites
Success Story

Optimizing Logistics Efficiency in a Top Shipyard

How a leading shipyard saved over half a million euros in the first year

A major shipyard implemented ERM to address inefficiencies in equipment management and resource allocation. The results exceeded all expectations, demonstrating the transformative power of real-time equipment monitoring and intelligent resource planning.

FAQ

Your Questions About ERM

Everything you need to know about equipment resource management

ERM (Equipment Resource Management) is a cloud-based platform for managing equipment resources across shipyards, construction sites, and manufacturing operations. It solves equipment underutilization, opaque operating costs, subcontractor management gaps, and reactive resource allocation by providing real-time monitoring, cost analysis, and intelligent planning tools.

ERM manages any type of operational equipment — cranes, forklifts, conveyors, trucks, specialized vehicles, and more. It supports both owned and leased/subcontracted assets in a single unified system, regardless of equipment type or manufacturer.

Subcontracted equipment and external services are added to ERM alongside your owned assets. You get full cost tracking, utilization monitoring, and performance reporting for leased units. Invoice reconciliation compares actual usage against contracted rates, ensuring accurate billing.

Most implementations show measurable results within the first quarter. A leading shipyard saved over €500,000 in the first year through optimized allocation and elimination of unnecessary rentals. ROI depends on fleet size and current inefficiency levels.

Yes. ERM is designed for multi-site operations. You get a consolidated view of all equipment across all locations, with the ability to drill down to individual sites, work zones, and equipment units. Equipment transfers between sites are tracked automatically.

ERM integrates with your ERP, maintenance management (CMMS), and financial systems. Data flows bidirectionally — equipment utilization data feeds into financial reporting, while work orders and project schedules inform equipment demand planning.

ERM provides customizable reports on equipment utilization, cost-per-hour, fleet composition, subcontractor performance, and planning efficiency. Reports can be filtered by equipment type, site, period, or operation. Data visualization includes dashboards, trend charts, and exportable PDF/Excel formats.
