Improve Equipment Rental Operations

  • Confirm a Rental Is
    Where It Should Be

    Rentals Automatically
    Use geofence and movement data to spot units that haven’t come back on schedule.
  • Reduce Unauthorized Use
    Identify equipment being used at a different site, for longer hours, or in ways the rental agreement doesn’t cover.
  • Recover Equipment That
    Was Never Returned
    Use location history to find units that left the service area or went dark after checkout.
  • Reduce Unnecessary
    Fleet Purchases
    Check whether an available machine is already sitting idle at another branch before buying more inventory.
  • Resolve Customer Disputes
    Use GPS history to verify pickup time, return time and where a machine actually operated.
  • Speed Up Yard Operations
    Know at a glance which equipment is on the lot, out on rental, or en route back.
  • Monitor Multiple
    Rental Locations
    View your entire equipment inventory across several yards or franchise locations from one dashboard.
