The Hidden Cost of Unnecessary Site Visits
Every avoidable site visit consumes engineer time, travel and operational capacity. You account for everything involved, the true cost of a site visit is much higher than the invoice.
TrackSyte® helps operators make better maintenance decisions before dispatching an engineer.
What a site visit really costs
A £250 site visit is rarely just £250
When you account for everything involved, the true cost of a site visit is much higher than the invoice.
Engineer Labour

Time spent travelling to and from site
Fuel
Fuel cost for the round trip
Vehicle Wear

Opportunity Cost
Capacity you could be using elsewhere
The average avoidable site visit typically costs between £200 – £400+ once all factors are included.
Why visits happen
Most visits happen because nobody knows what's happening remotely.
Battery Uncertainty
Is the battery really low?
Connectivity Alarms
Was it a real issue or a trip?
Asset Offline
Why is the asset not reporting?
GPS / Location Concerns
Where is the asset and is it moved?
Routine Inspections
Scheduled visits 'just in case'.
Lack of Trusted Field Data
Not enough information to decide remotely.
