Flatsetøy Maskin chooses FleetX: one platform for construction, transport and projects

Flatsetøy Maskin AS is a versatile civil engineering contractor based in Kristiansund, Norway, delivering everything from excavation and blasting to water and sewage, asphalting, snow clearing and transport. The company has now chosen FleetX as its TMS platform - a solution that brings construction, projects and transport together in one seamless flow.

A local contractor with transport across the whole of Norway

Flatsetøy Maskin is firmly rooted in Kristiansund and the surrounding area, where the company carries out contracting work for private customers, businesses and public sector clients alike. The range of services is broad: excavation, blasting and demolition, water and sewage, asphalting, snow clearing, natural stone - and not least transport of bulk materials and goods.

Although most of the contracting work is done locally, the company takes on transport jobs across the whole country. It is precisely this combination - local construction operations and national transport - that makes a modern TMS platform so valuable.

What FleetX delivers to Flatsetøy Maskin

FleetX is particularly well suited to companies in construction, equipment and machinery transport. The platform handles jobs where the day changes quickly, project plans have to be followed, and every trip must contribute to the accounts and reporting adding up at the end of the month. Key elements for Flatsetøy Maskin are:

• Project-linked orders - every job can be tied to a project or a construction site, so that all transport of materials, equipment and personnel lands on the right account when it is invoiced.
• Time-based jobs - many construction hours are invoiced per hour or per day. FleetX handles both fixed-price and time-based pricing in the same system.
• Dispatch with a live overview - planners see in real time where every vehicle is and which machines are in use, and can assign new jobs by drag-and-drop as the day unfolds.
• Driver app for Android and iPhone - drivers and machine operators receive jobs, navigate, confirm delivery and report hours directly from their phone, with no paperwork.
• Telematics integration - vehicles and machines can be connected to the platform, so position and operating hours are captured automatically and used as the basis for both planning and invoicing.
• Automatic invoicing with e-invoicing - completed jobs are priced and sent to invoicing automatically, grouped by project, site or customer, with direct export to the accounting system and support for EHF (the Norwegian e-invoice format).
• Time tracking and driving/rest time - digital time recording built for transport and construction companies, with automatic compliance against the regulations.

Seasonal variation handled in the same system

A contractor in Kristiansund deals with very different needs through the year. Winter is about snow ploughing and clearing, spring and summer about excavation, asphalting and water and sewage work, and autumn is often a mix. Transport of bulk materials, natural stone and equipment runs across all seasons.

FleetX is built for exactly this kind of variation. Recurring jobs such as snow-clearing routes can be scheduled on fixed days and time windows, while project-based construction jobs can be created ad hoc and still be linked to the right customer and project. That means fewer spreadsheets, less double entry and faster settlement - whether it is January in a snowstorm or July in the middle of asphalt season.

"We prioritise close collaboration and tailor our services to make sure you get the result you have in mind. We carry out regular inspections and quality checks to ensure that our work meets both industry standards and project requirements."

Better control for customers and the team alike

With FleetX, Flatsetøy Maskin also gets a customer web portal where clients can place new orders, follow the status of ongoing jobs and download proof of delivery and invoices - without having to call the office. For larger clients and municipal partners, this kind of self-service and documentation is often a requirement, not a bonus.

For the team at Flatsetøy Maskin, it means less administration and more time for what the company does best: building, digging, transporting and delivering tangible results in the local area.

Why FleetX is the right fit for Flatsetøy Maskin

FleetX is built for transport companies with complex operations - from distribution and temperature-controlled transport to waste management, HIAB lifts and construction. The construction industry is one of the core verticals the platform is optimised for, with features specifically adapted to project-linked operations, telematics and the combination of machinery and transport jobs.

For Flatsetøy Maskin, that means the whole business can run on one platform: construction jobs, earthmoving, goods transport and project work - without juggling several systems that do not talk to each other. The platform is fully cloud-based, so there are no local servers, no IT maintenance and full access from any device.

A shared ambition: quality, safety and efficient operations

Flatsetøy Maskin puts quality, customer service and safety at the top of the agenda. We at FleetX are proud that the company has chosen our platform as the tool to maintain that standard - and to free up time and capacity for the work that creates value for customers in Kristiansund and the rest of the country.
