- Easily track assets, including for mixed fleets.
- Rapidly respond to issues with real-time vehicle tracking and dispatch.
Optimize GPS Tracking and Utilization of Mixed Fleets
Track Star’s GPS tracking and telematics solutions work hand-in-hand to offer an unrivaled array of features to construction and heavy equipment rental fleets.
Real-time GPS location of all vehicles and equipment helps rental agencies track assets, including in mixed fleets — jack hammers, scissor lifts, and front-loaders can be tracked from a single, simple to use dashboard. The Track Star comprehensive solution can also offer utilization data, site entry/exit logs and hours of operation tracking, virtually unlimited geofencing capabilities, and more.
Using a variety of Internet of Things (IoT) telematics devices, Track Star can help you track the health of your equipment and vehicles, streamline maintenance and maintenance planning, and extend your equipment’s lifespan, therefore enhancing the ROI you get from each piece of equipment. Track Star can even help design and produce custom IoT hardware to meet specific use cases.
Locate & Recover Lost or Stolen Equipment
Construction equipment rental agencies are constantly battling the loss of equipment. This loss comes in two primary forms.
Loss
Smaller equipment, like tools and generators, can be surprisingly easy to misplace, especially when they’re used across multiple job sites or by a number of different operators.
Theft
Front-end loaders, backhoes, gantry cranes — these are expensive construction vehicles and, as such, are often targets for theft. Even smaller vehicles and tools are at risk.
There are a number of features found throughout the Track Star comprehensive solution that can be brought to bear in the fight against equipment loss. Automatic real-time GPS tracking will show you, at the click of a button, precisely where your equipment is located at any given moment and can alert you immediately if the asset leaves its designated area. IoT devices like dash cams can help you determine if an incident was an honest mistake or a malicious act, and help to identify perpetrators if the latter.
Make Running a Rental Fleet Easier & More Profitable
On the best day, managing a rental fleet of construction equipment is a complex job. Those complexities increase exponentially as both fleet size and composition increase. Without the right tools to help you, inefficiencies will inevitably creep into the day-to-day processes.
Day-to-Day OperationsFlexible maintenance scheduling and work order system minimizes vehicle downtime
- All equipment data can be accessed via mobile while in the field or on a desktop while in the office
- Engine/motor diagnostics and alerts for upcoming maintenance can be automated
- Generate highly customizable usage reports
- Maximize Service Potential
Manually tracking rentals is sure to lead to oversights, be it equipment that should be on-site earning rental hours but is still at the rental location, or equipment that is still in the field past the end of its rental term. Track Star’s geofencing capabilities will help you closely track all of your assets, so you can make sure they’re earning as much as possible.
You can also use Track Star to take a holistic look at your rental data, including rentals and rental hours per type of equipment. This type of data is invaluable for sizing your fleet up or down.
Keep the Highest Percentage of Vehicles on the Job
For construction rental fleets, if a piece of equipment isn’t making money, that means it’s losing money. This is doubly true when it comes to maintenance, planned or unplanned.
With Track Star’s comprehensive IoT telematics solutions, you can collect high-quality data on virtually any aspect of your equipment, including usage hours, what maintenance will be needed and when, where the fleet asset is located, and even if it is still under manufacturer warranty. All of this data will empower you to formulate a comprehensive preventative maintenance plan.
