WHAT SOME OF OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT OUR X-IT SYSTEMS
Want to contact them directly? Let us know
"The Mower and X-IT Systems have been doing a great job saving us time and money by preventing culvert damage. The culvert alert feature gives our operators a heads-up when they're approaching a culvert, so they can slow down or steer clear; it's been a solid line of defense. The operators really like it, and it's definitely been helpful out in the field."
"Our mower and sprayer systems are great. It is really handy to have things automatically recording as we work. This year we will be adding some more culverts for our mower system to detect for us. It is a lot better than relying on people to keep an eye out for them."
"Our Operators really love the ConX Wireless systems because they don't have to spend time writing and submitting reports anymore when they clear the roads of snow or spread gravel or mow the grass along the roads. They also really appreciate that the buzzers in the mowers will alert them to culverts so they can avoid them. Now they can get more done since they don't need to drive as slow to spot the culverts. Plus no more damaged equipment!"
"As part of The RM of Frenchman Butte's ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency and resource management, the use of this Conx GPS service to track and manage municipal equipment has proven to be an essential tool."
"Our Water Fill Systems have been running flawlessly for two years, and we haven't received a single complaint. We've also been using the Mower and X-IT Systems for highway mowing and culvert detection, and they've been a tremendous help! Since implementing them, the number of culverts being hit has significantly decreased, which has been especially beneficial with our new operators. These systems have made a real difference in improving our operations."
"We've been using the Mower and Fleet trackers, and they've been working flawlessly. If anything ever went wrong, I'm confident you'd know before we did because of how proactive your team is! The systems have lived up to every expectation, and we haven't had a single issue. We also really appreciate the free training sessions, even though the system is easy to use. With new staff joining soon, it's great to know we can conveniently book training online when they're ready."
"Since we started using the mower and X-IT devices, we've noticed a real difference in reducing culvert damage. They've been a great addition to our equipment, and it's clear they're helping us protect our infrastructure and save on repair costs and equipment down-time."
"I really like the Grader and X-it System: they work very well. It doesn't happen often but when I get rate-payer complaints, I can refer to the system for our grader and it shows plainly that the work was done. I like having the ability to quickly give rate-payers concrete proof. The system itself is also very easy to use, and it was simple for me to get everyone trained up."
"The biggest reason we got the XIT system was for manhole alerting while Grading. We plotted out all our manholes, and it works very well. Over time, operators get used to where they are, but when you've got hundreds around town, it's nice to have that extra warning. It takes some of the stress out of it, especially for new operators who aren't as familiar with the area. The system gives us an extra layer of security."
"The ConX Systems have been a great addition to managing our RM's operations! I like the ability to instantly see where graders and other equipment are. This has been especially great for mowing, to keep track of what has been done and plan for where to go next. I accessed the system a lot for our mowing operations this past season. We receive automatic monthly reports for both our Graders and Mowers, and I love not having to generate them myself. I forward these reports to Council each month, which keeps them in the know of what has been done. Our Reeve likes being able to log into his account and see where equipment is at, as well as keep track of what is going on without making a bunch of phone calls. This allows him to answer phone calls/complaints without a middle man. We just finished marking our culverts and other assets with the X-it device; that was an absolute breeze. I am looking forward to utilizing the digital map that it provides for Asset Management purposes. Additionally, I hope to play with the Road-Segment-Analytics feature more and plan to use this to put a value to some of our roads for grant purposes. I will likely book a refresher training session, as I believe this feature can provide a lot of benefit. The included Snow Maps feature is currently being used internally, but we may decide to make it public down the road. I have nothing but good things to say about the ConX Systems and the service we have been provided!"
"We did not have any tracking systems on our Mowers previous to this. It is nice because I can check in on an operator without being in his way. It is not used to follow them around, but more to see if they are having issues. I also like that I can see run-time hours on the tractors to see if any maintenance is due. The Mower Systems are great for the operators who now have less stress, knowing they don't have to pull out until they hear a beep in the cab. In a low spot, they wouldn't otherwise know where a culvert is or if there even is one and this can be very stressful; this takes that equation right out of it. The staff at ConX were also helpful in making some necessary adjustments to our system settings, and we were very grateful for this."
"Thanks so much Conx wireless for making our jobs easier. The mapping feature is terrific and allows the office to locate the graders when fielding ratepayer inquiries as to when their roads will be maintained. The information is at our fingertips rather than waiting for the grading/snow removal maps to be handed in or the office staff having to call the operators to find their whereabouts. An added bonus is that our operators are happy they no longer have to make up or submit those maps! Now that we have our culverts marked, the in cab locator buzzer is a wonderful feature to help our mower operator avoid culverts when mowing."
"We really enjoy using our Con X wireless system. We use it for mapping while grading and also have all culverts marked in the system which is a huge help for locating and making sure they don't get run over and damaged with mowers. Looking forward to adding more features as we go. Thank you for an amazing system."
"This year, Council decided to switch GPS providers to ConX Wireless. So far, it is going perfectly! The included online training session went well and was easy to follow. I much prefer the ConX reporting to our previous provider and also find it simpler to run for Council. I am loving the automatic monthly reports; they are great! We also no longer have the frequent satellite skipping we used to. I am looking forward to using the free Snow Maps feature on our website this season, and think it will really reduce the number of calls we get in the office regarding snow removal."
"We have each culvert/SK Energy sign marked with the XIT so that when the mower operator is in the area of the culvert he is made aware by the beep and can avoid it. This has been helpful to prevent damage to the mower and the culvert saving money for the ratepayers in our municipality."
"The ability to mark culverts has helped our mowers avoid them so we are having less damage and replacements happening and to be able to report to Council, ratepayers or even internally to staff how many miles were mowed, bladed etc is such an invaluable tool!"
"The systems have been helpful in a number of ways and definitely for working alone. If someone is idling too long, I have the systems set to email me beyond the set threshold so we can phone and check on staff/go to them if necessary. It is also helpful for when ratepayers come in saying a road hasn't been graded in such and such time; I can look and either agree or disagree with them accordingly. We also use the system to assist with billing purposes, and can do this without a bunch of paperwork and/or follow-ups. We clear driveways in the area and the system allows us to make sure the right landowner is being billed and that they are being billed the proper amount."
"The System is working fairly well for our graders. Administration prints reports every month of what everyone has been up to. I use the maintenance schedule; that's really good and gives me reminders for servicing. It is nice to find out where the machines are and periodically see what they have been up to in a course of a week. On the whole, it is a good system."
"Not a single complaint. The Water Fill Systems are going very, very well. We have Systems on both our Mowers as well and the hazard detection has absolutely saved our ass. The culvert marking device, I would definitely say that is one of our best investments. We train different operators yearly on our mowers, the grass gets high and new staff doesn't know where the washouts or culverts are. The alert they get when they approach a marked culvert has eliminated our damage costs and a possible role over, Again, not a single complaint!"
"I like that I can see what the operators are doing. The office was helpful when I needed assistance with Mower tracking. I really like that the mowers beep when approaching a culvert to alert the operator; that system is great!"
"For Administration, I find the reports to be accessible and very easy to generate. Council likes being able to see where equipment is and where work has been performed. They are also able to compare the productivity of each piece of equipment. We are finding it very useful and are pleased with the purchase."
"Everything is great! The reports are easy to generate and there is a lot of useful information there. Council really enjoys seeing the reports. We are referring to them all the time, as we are able to see what and when work was done."
"We used the X-it device to help complete our Asset Management Plan. We were able to mark culverts, signs, and other assets and we now have a digital map of where all of our assets are. The data provided by the device was used to help compile our Asset Management Plan."
"The X-it marking device is easy to use. The biggest thing we use it for is culvert marking for the mowers. The in-cab alarm works well for avoiding marked culverts. Even the general mapping, we ran into a scenario when we were being accused of hitting a culvert and we had proof we weren't even on that road! At least I can go back and say no we weren't there. I like the mapping on it. If a person ever got in a scenario and got in an accident because a road hadn't been graded, I can look back and say it was graded three days ago."
"We have the ConX System in our graders and mower so I now have easy access to data that show the date,time and which piece of equipment performed maintenance on a specific area of a road. The automatic reports that come to my email to share with council has saved me time in generating my own reports. The X-it system has been super for marking all our culverts and signs. The training they provide has been good - they were very accommodating with our busy single person office."
"The ConX Systems provide a lot of very good information for our Graders and Mowers. Blade up and down, where employees are; it offers so much more than just GPS. We have been able to mark all of our culverts with the X-it device as well. It is a good program with a lot of information for the price of it."
"With our X-it Marking System, we've built a database of all our culverts and can easily review them in our account on a map. This will be very useful information in the future, when new staff take over."
"The ConX Wireless solutions in our graders, mower, and GIS Marking system has been very helpful to the RM. Since we started using the system last year, our road maintenance and eqpt maintenance planning has improved a lot because we are now able to access key data to anticipate our operational needs instead of being reactive. The system was very handy when one of our council members was concerned that their division was not being serviced appropriately. I was able to pull the system up during the conversation and show the councillor the history of activity in their division to satisfy their concern immediately. The ConX Support team has been very helpful in assisting our admin team with thorough training, giving us the knowledge and tools to utilize the system to its full potential. I'd recommend ConX Wireless solutions to any municipality looking for a road maintenance monitoring system."
"Since we've incorporated the ConX System into our graders and mower, life has gotten a lot easier. The guys have almost no more paperwork to deal with and I have access to all the data when I need it. I keep council up to date with regular reports emailed out and I can look at something easily if a councilor has a question during a meeting. The culvert marking for our mower has been very beneficial as well, to avoid damage."
"When I arrived here, the RM had ConX's system in place. The software was very easy for me to learn and is user friendly. The live training with their operations team was also very helpful in getting me up to speed. ConX sends monthly productivity reports to me that are easy to print off for our council to review. I also find it very easy to make adjustments in the settings. Our mower hazard detection system needed to be updated and I was able to do it from the office and send the update to the tractor wirelessly. It was very easy."
"The hazard detection system in our ConX Wireless Mower package works excellent. The system gives our operators plenty of time to respond to the alarm and avoid any damages. It especially came in handy for our newer operator."
"I log into the ConX System a few times a week to keep my finger on the pulse of the operation. I check to see what work has been done the previous day or two and when I need to dispatch a grader to a specific location I can quickly see who is the closest unit to dispatch. The system is very easy to use and saves me a lot of time in keeping track of the activity of my staff. I really like the Hazard detection feature in the mower package. We have avoided some serious repair costs because of it."
"We've had the ConX Wireless system in our graders & mowers for a few years now. It's so beneficial and essential for me to see all the work being done by our operators in real-time and historically. I am able to be proactive in my plan to delivery services in the RM efficiently. The X-it GIS marking system has helped us map out all of our culverts for our asset management. The built-in proximity alarm helps us find buried frozen culverts in no time. No more poking around in the snow and wasting time. The same system assisted our GIS contractors in finding our culverts for assessment purposes. It made their job much easier. Last but not least, having the ability to locate our operators in case of an emergency gives us peace of mind knowing we can respond quickly if a situation does arise."
"We identified serious gaps in our road maintenance reporting. We had no objective way of providing road service history to our rate payers and no legal leg to stand on in case of litigation. We collect very detailed road maintenance history with the ConX Wireless system. We can see how much service a road has received for the last day, week, month or year and we can access that information in just a few mouse clicks. On top of that, the ConX customer service team has been extremely helpful with any training or support inquiries. Our administration has confidence and piece of mind, knowing that we have this information when we need it. ConX Wireless solutions would be an absolute benefit to any municipality looking to improve their public works data collection processes."
"The hazard detection system built into our ConX Wireless mower systems has saved our rural municipality substantially in avoided repair costs. Our operators are warned well in advance of a possible collision with a culvert. Our operators are safer and have more confidence, not worrying about damaging the equipment. The system works great for us!"
"With our Conx Wireless system, it is a breeze to build and store historical reports of our road maintenance operations. Everything is already digitized so I don't have to waste time transposing paper maps to our computer filing system. I have piece of mind knowing that the data being collected is consistently accurate."
"We found ConX Wireless at the SUMA convention last year and were intrigued by their hazard detection technology. I have catalogued our curb boxes, manholes, mainline valves, and storm sewers with the X-it Marking system we purchased and can view each item location in map and list form. It's very handy and time-saving for me to quickly look at the ConX wireless map to see where the curb box I'm looking for is located."
"Since we installed the ConX system in our graders and mowers, I've been able to respond to rate payer inquiries with ease, using indisputable information. I trust our employees to do a good job, but having a system in place to verify timesheets when something seems a bit off, has also been very helpful. We've used the X-it GIS system to mark all our culverts and now I'm very excited to build the rest of our asset database!"
"We partnered with ConX Wireless because our council felt there was a lot of data they weren't getting to make the best decisions for the RM's road maintenance program. Since we have incorporated ConX Wireless's solutions, we have collected a lot of data that we never had before and we can now easily analyze that data to determine if service levels are appropriate and if we need to go beyond regular maintenance to build a road. We recommend ConX Wireless to any municipality looking to upgrade their road maintenance operations."
"The ConX Wireless system is 100 times better then our previous GFI system."
"We decided to purchase ConX Wireless to try it out in our highway mowers. We just hired a new mower operator and he has not had a single incident with the assistance of the ConX Wireless hazard detection system. We've been so impressed with the system that council has decided to expand the system to include our road graders and an X-it mapping device."
"We have been able to utilize the ConX Wireless system to prove with out a doubt, that road work had been completed where an insurance claim took place, absolving our RM of any liability."
"We signed up with the ConX Wireless system early this year and this is the 1st year since I've been here that we do not have any damage to our tractor mower tires or ditch hitches. Our operators no longer have to guess where a culvert or other hazard is, the ConX hazard detection system gives them lots time to avoid incidents."
"We have a lot of manholes that protrude above the asphalt due to the deterioration and settling of the streets, we marked these hazardous manholes with the X-it marking system and ConX Wireless's unique hazard detection software. The operators are now alerted as they approach these hazardous manholes saving the town thousands of dollars in possible repair and down time. The real benefit to having this system is to allow the operator to concentrate on the task at hand reducing stress and fatigue. Furthermore, we now have a GIS database of our infrastructure."
"We are well versed in the realm of GPS asset management and the benefits it brings to an RM's operation. Before we chose ConX Wireless as our provider, we were with another provider for multiple years. We are always looking at ways to improve our operations and when we went to our previous provider with some new and unique problems, we wanted them to solve, we were met with little response. In fact, we could barely get a hold of a human to talk to, period. We knew about ConX Wireless, but it was not until some of our neighboring RM's introduced us to the system that we realized how powerful the system actually is. We had some discussions with the staff at ConX Wireless and they were more than willing to tackle our unique problems. Our experience has been phenomenal dealing with ConX Wireless and has reinforced our decision to switch providers."
