Case Study: a large construction company achieves transparent, real-time equipment tracking with Timly

Large Construction Company - Customer Case Study

ARGE, the consortium behind the expansion of Bern Train Station, manages around 2,500 shared machines and tools across a massive, multi-year construction site. With equipment coming from four partner companies, including rented assets, they needed a way to track ownership, location, usage, and return deadlines far more reliably than spreadsheets or paper could allow. Timly was chosen to bring structure and transparency to this complex inventory challenge.

Timly implemented a digital equipment management system with QR codes, GPS tracking, mobile check-outs and returns, usage logging, and maintenance planning. The result was accurate tracking across the site, minute-level usage records for billing between companies, faster location of devices, and better control of inspections and repairs. With Timly, ARGE improved accountability, reduced losses, and streamlined collaboration across the project.
