Frequently asked questions
Practical answers for teams evaluating DowntimeIQ for daily operations.
Does DowntimeIQ require hardware installation?
No. DowntimeIQ requires zero hardware. Sign up, add your equipment, and your team starts immediately from any phone or browser. Nothing to install, ship, or mount.
How is DowntimeIQ different from Samsara?
Samsara requires physical GPS hardware ($99-148 per vehicle), a 3-year contract, and is designed for vehicle fleets. DowntimeIQ requires no hardware, has no long-term contract, and works for any equipment including drills, generators, and excavators, not just vehicles.
What industries does DowntimeIQ work for?
DowntimeIQ is built for construction, mining, agriculture, manufacturing, logistics, and oil and gas. Any operation with expensive equipment that loses money when that equipment breaks down.
How much does equipment downtime cost per hour?
Unplanned heavy equipment downtime can cost up to $260,000 per hour in mining and construction. For smaller operations, a single excavator breakdown typically costs $200-$500 per hour in lost productivity.
Can employees use it without training?
Yes. Operators check out equipment and report issues by scanning a QR code on the machine with their phone. No app download required.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. DowntimeIQ has a free plan with 1 piece of equipment and 1 device, no time limit. Paid plans start at $19.99 per month.
