It was basically guessing at our equipment costs," said John Friedel, Baldwin Paving's CFO. "We would assign those estimates of depreciation, all the repairs, and maintenance for the equipment to that division and we would allocate the shop's time to that division. If that division was making money, then we knew we were covering the costs of the equipment." Knowing it was not getting the best financial picture of its company, Baldwin moved to Spectrum, and with it came much more robust equipment tracking and equipment cost functionality. "I really like what the Spectrum system allows us to see and understand with our equipment—how much it costs us to keep a piece of equipment, operating costs versus non-operating costs, cost of ownership, etc. What is really important to me is, are we capturing the costs on that piece of equipment back to the jobs? That is something we couldn't realize before and that's where Spectrum really helps us," Friedel said. 3 3
