Every excavator,
every brand, one screen.

You run Cat, Volvo, Komatsu, JCB, and a few older machines nobody wants to admit to. Talos turns all of them — plus the ones without a modern gateway — into one operational picture.

What you're trying to fix

The jobs construction contractors bring to Talos.

If your version of the problem isn't on the list, tell us — we've probably seen it.
  • Stop logging into six OEM portals to know where a machine is.
  • Catch idle time on site before it turns into a fuel bill nobody flagged.
  • Get service intervals right — no more skipped 500-hour checks.
  • Prove machine hours to the client without arguing over spreadsheets.
  • Retrofit older machines that came without any telematics at all.
  • Give the yard manager a phone-friendly view for the 6am walk-round.
Outcomes

What changes in the first 90 days.

Utilisation you can act on.

Working vs idle vs off, per machine, per site — not just a percentage, but the shifts and days behind it.

  • Idle-time alerts by threshold
  • Weekly site utilisation report
  • Compare planned vs actual hours

Service that actually happens.

Machine hours drive the schedule, not a whiteboard. The workshop sees what's due before it becomes a breakdown.

  • Automatic hour-based reminders
  • Work orders with parts + labour
  • Full service history per machine

Fuel and cost, in the same view.

Litres per operating hour, per machine — with the outliers highlighted before month-end.

  • Fuel-per-hour benchmarks
  • Cost centre per project
  • Export to your ERP
How it fits your week

From telemetry to work order, without the busywork.

  1. 01

    Connect.

    OEM feeds via AEMP + retrofit gateways for older kit. Live in days, not months.

  2. 02

    Watch.

    One map, one list, one alert stream. Site managers get the phone view, ops gets the desk view.

  3. 03

    Act.

    Work orders open themselves. Fuel and idle alerts land in Slack, Teams or email.

  4. 04

    Report.

    Client-ready reports on machine hours, availability and utilisation, on the day they're asked for.

From the field
“We stopped chasing OEM portals in the first week. By month three we'd cut idle time on our top ten machines by nearly a fifth.”

FAQ

Straight answers.

Does it work with mixed brands?
Yes. AEMP / ISO 15143-3 gives us the common ground, and we add OEM-specific extras where the portal exposes them.
What about machines without telematics?
We support a small number of retrofit gateways that read J1939 / CAN or engine hours. Your account manager will spec the right one per machine.
How long to go live?
For most contractors, under a week from contract to live data. Retrofits add lead time based on hardware availability.
