How a construction and renovation company from Boortmeerbeek is digitizing its entire machine park with CHECK.connect

In the past, everyone worked with their own separate Excel files. Today, all information is stored on a single central management platform. This naturally results in much greater efficiency.

Ramast is a renovation and restoration company based in Boortmeerbeek, working for both the government and private individuals. They manage a huge range of machinery: from small drills and saws to power generators, containers, and scaffolding. Keeping track of everything and planning efficiently was a daily challenge—until they switched to the CHECK platform together with AllConnects.

The challenge: lots of material, little overview

Ramast manages a wide range of equipment. From small hand tools to heavy machinery—everything must be at the right site, at the right time, and in good condition. For a long time, this was tracked using fragmented Excel lists, one per employee or department. The result: if someone in the office wanted to know where a particular piece of equipment was, they had to make a phone call. Planning was cumbersome, and keeping track of maintenance and inspections required a lot of manual work.

Ramast was therefore not just looking for any track & trace system. They needed a total solution: location management, maintenance tracking, inspections, reservations, and document management—all in one place.

The solution: CHECK platform with customized hardware for each type of material

AllConnects implemented the CHECK platform, linked to three types of hardware, tailored to the type of material. All data comes together in CHECK: a single central platform where every employee has real-time access to the complete material situation.

Track & trace in vehicles

The project started with one or two delivery trucks and grew steadily from there.

Autonomous GPS trackers

For larger machines — operate completely independently on a battery with years of autonomy, without a power connection.

🏷️

BLE tags for small tools

Small sensors that can be easily attached to a drill or saw and also appear in the platform.

Smart preparation: structure first, then digitize

What characterizes Ramast's implementation is its thorough preparation. Before installing a single sensor, the company mapped out its entire material structure: categories, subcategories, and product groups. This hierarchy makes it easy to filter and retrieve everything in the platform later on.

That approach—structure first, digitization second—is exactly what AllConnects guides new customers through. It makes the difference between a system that is used and a system that gathers dust after a few months.

More than localization: QR codes, reservations, and document management

Today, Ramast uses the platform for much more than just location management:

  • Reservation equipmentcan be blocked in advance for a specific site or date, making planning more efficient.
  • Return notifications: the system automatically sends a notification when materials need to be returned.
  • QR codes per vehicle or machine Byscanning a QR code, you immediately gain access to all linked documents—manuals, certificates, official inspection documents.
  • Maintenance and inspection follow-up deadlinesare monitored from the platform, without manual tracking.

Privacy, GDPR, and 22 years of experience

Privacy plays a role in material tracking as soon as vehicles and employees come into the picture. AllConnects has been working in the sector for more than 22 years and pays particular attention to data security and GDPR compliance.
