B2W and FleetWatcher Partner to Advance Construction Management Telematics

Back in 2014, B2W Software (now apart of Trimble Solutions)  and Earthwave Technologies (now FleetWatcher by AlignOps) teamed up to push construction technology forward. This partnership showcased how integrating construction management software with telematics could transform fleet utilization, streamline reporting, and improve real-time decision-making. The announcement below highlights the early stages of a collaboration that continues to influence how contractors manage equipment and operations today.

Portsmouth, NH – March 3, 2014 – Continuing to redefine the future of construction operations software, industry leader B2W Software announced a partnership with FleetWatcher by AlignOps, bringing contractors a more powerful way to capture, deliver, and act on telematics data from heavy equipment fleets.

This collaboration enables contractors to streamline day-to-day construction tasks through mobile tablets—reducing paperwork, eliminating manual reporting, and ensuring real-time data flows seamlessly between the office and the field.

Unified Construction Management Software

B2W’s ONE (Operational Networked Elements) Platform is the first suite of construction management software to provide every role—from office managers to foremen—with real-time visibility into operations. The suite integrates four modules—B2W Estimate, B2W Track, B2W Dispatch, and B2W Maintain—into a single system for accurate data capture, resource collaboration, and operational efficiency.

Telematics Purpose-Built for Contractors

Enhancing the power of ONE, FleetWatcher by AlignOps was designed specifically for heavy equipment contractors. This telematics solution delivers wireless fleet management tools that improve utilization, productivity, and decision-making. With real-time equipment data available from any location, FleetWatcher streamlines construction management telematics and gives contractors clear visibility into costs, performance, and jobsite activity.

Leadership Perspective

“B2W Software has always been committed to helping customers maximize the construction lifecycle in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible,” said Paul McKeon, CEO of B2W Software. “FleetWatcher’s telematics platform complements our strategic focus, strengthening our capabilities in field tracking and fleet maintenance. Together, we’re advancing machine-to-machine technology for the future of construction.”

“This partnership allows us to expand our reach and provide integrated solutions that increase efficiency and accuracy for contractors,” added Larry Baker, CEO of FleetWatcher by AlignOps. “By automating data capture across fleets, we eliminate the manual process of pulling information from each individual machine, freeing contractors to focus on productivity and profitability.”
