CMMS For Earthmoving Fleets
Component Management for Earthmoving
Track components, rotables, and rebuild cycles with component management software built for earthmoving fleets. Control cost, life, and changeouts.
Why component management matters for earthmoving fleets
A haul truck isn’t one asset. It’s a collection of high-value components, each with its own life, cost, and risk.
Most systems ignore that. They track the machine, not what actually drives downtime and spend. The moment you change out a component, your data breaks. Service intervals drift. Cost tracking becomes unreliable. Forecasting turns into guesswork.
Samurai fixes that by managing components and rotables properly, not as an afterthought but as part of how the system works.
Component-level life tracking
Track engines, transmissions, final drives and more with their own usage, history and remaining life.
Auto life reset on changeout
Swap a component and Samurai resets the right counters instantly. No scripts or manual fixes.
Practical Rotable Management
Track serialised components across machines. A rebuilt unit carries its full history into the next asset.
Nested service scheduling
Component services run alongside or independent of machine services, without breaking schedules.
Cost tracking by component
See what each component actually costs over its life, not just what was spent on the machine.
Repair vs replace visibility
Make decisions based on real life, cost and risk, not gut feel or incomplete records.
How Samurai handles components and rotables
Samurai is built for fleets where components move, get rebuilt, and go back into service.
Each component can exist on an asset or as part of a rotable pool. When it’s removed, its life and history stay with it. When it’s installed somewhere else, that history follows.
Service logic stays intact, forecasts update automatically, and nothing gets lost between machines.
This is what keeps your maintenance data aligned with what’s actually happening on site, not what someone tries to reconstruct later.
One continuous history per component
From install to rebuild to redeployment, every event stays connected. When a component moves between machines, its history moves with it. You don’t lose context or end up with gaps.
You can see where it’s been, what it’s cost, how it’s performed, and what’s been done to it over time. That gives you a clean, reliable record you can trust when planning work or making decisions.
Accurate forward forecasting
Future rebuilds and replacements reflect real component life, not broken assumptions. Because usage, changeouts and rebuilds are tracked properly, your forecast updates automatically as things change in the field.
You’re not relying on fixed intervals or outdated plans. You get a clear view of what’s coming, what it’s likely to cost, and where risk is building, so you can act early instead of reacting late.
Control without extra admin
The system handles resets, tracking and scheduling in the background so your team doesn’t have to. When a component is changed out, the right life resets, the service plan adjusts, and the history stays intact without manual intervention.
Your team isn’t maintaining spreadsheets or fixing data after the fact. They just do the job, and the system keeps everything aligned behind the scenes.
WHAT CHANGES WHEN YOU TRACK COMPONENTS PROPERLY?
When components are tracked properly, your maintenance, costs, and planning start to line up.
Component life reflects real field usage
Rebuilds are planned, not rushed after failure
Rotables move without losing history
Forecasts stay accurate after change-out
Repair vs replace decisions use real data
High-cost failures stop catching you off guard

Frequently asked questions
What is component management in a CMMS?
Component management tracks major parts of a machine such as engines, transmissions and final drives as their own assets. Each component has its own life, service schedule and cost history, separate from the machine it’s installed on.
What are rotables and why do they matter?
Rotables are serialised components that are removed, rebuilt and reused across different machines. Without proper tracking, their history is lost. With rotable management, each unit carries its full life, cost and service record wherever it goes.
How is component management different from standard asset management?
Most systems treat the machine as a single asset. Component management breaks that down so high-value parts are tracked individually. This keeps service intervals, costs and forecasts accurate when components are repaired or replaced.
What happens when a component is changed out?
Samurai automatically resets the correct life counters, updates service schedules and keeps the full history of both the removed and installed components. There’s no need for manual fixes or external tracking.
Can I track rebuilds and component costs over time?
Yes. Every install, removal, rebuild and repair is recorded against the component. This gives you a clear view of total cost, cost per hour and performance over its full life.
Does this help with repair vs replace decisions?
Yes. You can see the full cost and performance history of each component. That makes it clear when a rebuild still makes sense and when replacement is the better option.
Is this only useful for large fleets?
No. Even smaller fleets benefit because a single major component failure can have a big cost impact. As fleets grow, proper component tracking becomes critical to maintaining control.
