Messy fleet list in.
Clean fleet out.
"CAT", "Cat.", "Caterpillar Inc" and "CATERPILLAR" are the same manufacturer. Your reports don't know that. Drop in your equipment list and get back one clean make, model and size class for every machine.

The goAardvark fleet taxonomy
The real prize is the size class.
A clean name tells you what a machine is. A size class tells you what it's comparable to. goAardvark places every machine in a three-level hierarchy, so a 22-ton Komatsu and a 22-ton Cat finally sit in the same row of your report.

What it compares against, across every brand
Why it matters
Dirty data costs real money.
Split PM schedules
Three spellings of one model means three service plans, or none at all.
Skewed utilization
You can't compare idle time across a mixed fleet without like-for-like size classes.
Bad replacement calls
Cost-per-hour benchmarks fall apart when machines sit in the wrong class.
Broken integrations
Telematics, ERP and CMMS records won't line up until names match.
How it works
Three steps. No account.

Questions
- What does the Fleet Data Cleaner do?
- It reads the make and model for each machine on your list, fixes abbreviations, typos and dealer shorthand, and returns the official make and model plus an equipment category, type and size class from the goAardvark fleet taxonomy.
- What file format do I need?
- A CSV with a Make column and a Model column. Unit numbers are kept if you include them. You can also paste one machine per line, like "CAT 320D L".
- Why do you email the results?
- Full lists are processed in the background, and emailing the finished spreadsheet confirms the address belongs to you. You'll see your first three machines cleaned on screen right away.
- What happens to machines that can't be matched?
- They stay in the file, marked for review. The cleaner never guesses. A row marked "fuzzy" or "no_match" is worth a quick look by someone who knows the machine.
- Is it free?
- Yes. Up to 100 machines per run and one run per day, no account required. goAardvark uses the same clean records to power PM schedules and utilization reports for customers.
