Software that pays for itself.
Most crane hire software is a scheduling calendar with a compliance folder bolted on. CraneIQ is built around the two things that actually decide whether a job is safe and whether it makes money — the load chart and the numbers.
What makes it different
CraneIQ is built around the two things a general scheduling tool never touches — the load chart and the numbers — and it does a few things nothing else in the yard does.
Every lift is checked against the manufacturer's chart — capacity at the actual radius, with load, hook block and rigging weighed. The board is green because the crane can make the pick, not because someone coloured it in.
Ask a straight question — "which crane lifts 20 t at 15 m?", "who's inducted for that site?", "why is this job underwater?" — and get the answer off your own data, in plain words. Nothing else in crane hire does this.
Put a crew on a job and the gate checks licence, VOC and site induction on the day it runs, and names who isn't eligible — a live check, not a folder for the audit.
Sales, ops, crew, payroll and workshop on one job — quote off the chart, allocate, sign off, then the invoice and the approved wages flow to your accounting software. Entered once.
Compliance, EBA overtime, gear-truck setup, meal and crib allowances, SWMS and lift plans attached to the job, all the planning it takes — the detail other software fumbles.
How it makes you money
CraneIQ isn't a cost — it's the tool that finds the money a busy yard is already leaving on the table.
Utilisation, per machine, shows a crane costed at 1,500 hours but running 900 — money you're not quoting for, on every job.
Weekend overtime, allowances and rigging carried automatically, with the margin shown before you send — the ordinary jobs stop bleeding.
Ops reconciles the bill and Payroll confirms the hours — both sync to your accounting software (Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks). Entered once, priced right — permanent and casual handled correctly.
A crew pulled off site for a lapsed ticket is a lost day and a lost client. The gate catches it before the truck moves.
