Connected asset tracking for hired equipment
Knowing where hired units are and whether they are running.
- Location reporting
- Runtime hour collection
- Map view by hire status
- Geofence alerts
The problem
Units were located by phoning the customer. Recovering overdue equipment was slow, and usage-based charges relied on the customer's own reported hours.
What we built
We collect location and runtime from units in the field, showing them on a map with their current hire record, and feeding recorded hours into usage-based billing.
