In construction, reliable tools are essential. Hilti’s Nuron platform, first introduced in 2022, enables construction teams to work cordless with high performance while enhancing health and safety. With over 120 tools powered by a single 22V platform, Nuron simplifies tool management, reduces complexity, and improves productivity – especially when paired with Hilti’s Fleet Management and ON!Track asset management solutions.

Better Operations for Advance Forming

Advance Forming, a renowned Canadian construction company, has been a Hilti partner for two years. They have 1,600 Nuron tools in operation, alongside Fleet Management and ON!Track solutions. Partnering with Hilti has solved the issues they had faced with tool productivity, loss, and reliability, and helped them optimize resource allocation and improve worker satisfaction and project outcomes.

A Simpler, Smarter Tool Strategy

Before switching to Nuron, Advance Forming used tools from multiple suppliers, experiencing frequent tool breakdowns, lost equipment, and delays in repairs – leading to productivity loss. Moving to a single, cordless platform changed everything.

John Aquino, Vice President and General Manager at Advance Forming, explains: “Switching to one supplier was a big decision, but it’s been worth it. We use a lot of tools, and dealing with breakdowns and delays was hurting our jobsites. Hilti’s tools and support have made a huge difference.”

Hilti’s team provided hands-on support to make the transition seamless. Elizabeth Stojkov, Hilti Division Manager, and Jennifer Mota, Hilti Regional Manager, spent time on Advance Forming’s jobsites to demonstrate Nuron tools in action. “We got the tools directly into their hands so they could experience the productivity gains themselves,” shares Jennifer.

To strengthen the partnership, Advance Forming visited Hilti’s Customer Experience Center in Plano, Texas. “Having our product experts answer their questions helped build trust and showed the level of innovation in our solutions,” notes Elizabeth.

The Perfect Combination

Hilti’s Fleet Management and ON!Track solutions have been crucial to optimizing Advance Forming’s tool operations. Together, they create a system that improves operational efficiency, prevents delays, and reduces costs. Fleet Management simplifies repairs, theft coverage, and tool access. A single monthly fee covers repairs and provides loaner tools, eliminating the need to overbuy or store extra equipment. ON!Track gives real-time visibility into tool locations, usage, and maintenance needs. This reduces downtime, improves resource allocation, and keeps projects running smoothly.

Robert Bonaccorso, Shop Manager at Advance Forming, explains the impact: “Fleet Management and ON!Track let us keep tabs on our tools. When something breaks, it’s repaired and returned quickly, so we don’t need to keep buying more. It’s a fluid, efficient system.”
