Case Study: Milam Contracting prevents microtheft and machine misuse with EquipmentShare cloud-connected keypads

Equipmentshare Keypads Prevent Microtheft And Machine Misuse

Milam Contracting, a construction company, faced the challenge of frequent equipment misuse and "microtheft" at jobsites, where unauthorized crews used their machines, leading to safety concerns, added fuel and maintenance costs, and extra wear-and-tear. Owner Bartley Stevenson identified this as a significant hidden cost for his business and sought a solution from vendor EquipmentShare.

EquipmentShare implemented its cloud-connected keypads to replace universal keys, preventing unauthorized access to Milam Contracting's entire fleet. The solution enhanced jobsite security and safety. EquipmentShare estimates that by preventing microtheft, the company could save up to 8% of its annual rental costs. Additionally, the integrated GPS tracking provides further protection against outright theft, giving Stevenson greater visibility and control over his assets.
