Rented equipment management and tracking

Equipmetry GO — a management system for rented equipment

Equipmetry GO is a trusted working environment for both the renter and the equipment owner. The system transparently tracks actual working hours and automates every stage — from the contract to the invoice. It is ideally suited for companies that bring in a large fleet of rented equipment.

Over 3,000 vehicles and machines are already connected to the platform

Problem

The rental invoice arrives with no proof behind it

A construction company rents equipment on an hourly basis. The assumption is simple: a shift is worked, an invoice for the shift is issued.

But how long the machine actually worked is hard to verify. The paper timesheet arrives three weeks later. By then the equipment is already on another site, and reconstructing the timeline is impossible.

Meanwhile, equipment rarely runs eight hours straight. It sits idle waiting for a work front, gets repaired, or temporarily moves to a neighboring site. Yet in the final timesheet, all that downtime turns into a single entry: "shift fully worked."

Solving the problem

Record-keeping with no delay

After digging deep into the problem, we found the most workable approach — recording and approving hours on the day of the shift, based on GPS data.

Tracking runs shift by shift. One machine, one day, one shift — an entry appears in the daily log automatically. The system has already calculated how much the equipment worked and how long it stayed on site. The site supervisor confirms it or corrects it if something happened that telemetry (GPS) can't see.

Everything happens on the day of the shift. Both sides look at the same data: the track, time inside the geofence, notes, photos. Any discrepancy is visible immediately.

By the time the month closes, the hours are already approved. The timesheet is assembled automatically.

Process

How the month unfolds

The client and the contractor work in one system and see the same data. Every step is confirmed by the other party.

1

Contract

Parties, project, equipment, rates. Rates are pulled from your price catalog. Once both parties confirm, the equipment is assigned to the site and appears in the log.

2

Daily work log

Hours are recorded every day for every machine. Open shifts and discrepancies are collected in a single list.

3

Timesheet

A detailed timesheet is assembled for the period, by project and contractor: hours, rate, amount for each unit. Corrections are possible until the timesheet is included in the acceptance certificate, and are kept in the history.

4

Approval

The timesheet follows the route you set up for the project: site supervisor, site manager, project manager, labor safety, security. Sequentially or all at once.

5

Certificate and invoice

The contractor generates the acceptance certificate and invoice from the approved timesheet. Service names and details are filled in automatically.

Control

Disputed shifts surface themselves

Some shifts always raise questions. GO flags them itself, on the day of the shift, and shows both sides.

Engine running, no track

The equipment is online, but no coordinates come through. The shift is flagged and sent to the security team as a separate signal.

Distorted track

Coordinate jumps and loops on the map. This is usually signal reflection from metal structures on site. The system flags such shifts so they aren't mistaken for padded hours.

More hours logged than time on site

The site supervisor entered more hours than the machine actually spent there. The discrepancy is highlighted in both the log and the timesheet, visible to both sides at once.

Work off-site

The equipment is listed on your project, but engine hours accumulate outside its boundaries. You can see where and how much.

Every correction to hours is saved along with its author, timestamp and comment. The history is open to both sides.

Economics

What changes in the numbers

The range depends on how record-keeping is set up today.

up to 30%
savings on work mechanization

Made up of three components:

Over-hiring of rented equipmentfleet reduction of 10–20%
Equipment downtime on site−18–22%
Payment for non-working hours−10–30%

Indirect impact

Approving contractor payments

The timesheet follows its route inside the system, so closing the month no longer drags on for weeks.

Pace of construction readiness

Downtime and equipment shortages are visible the day they occur, not at month-end.

Contractor accountability

Data is open to both sides, so quality of execution becomes measurable.

Speed of equipment mobilization

You can see what is working and where right now — and move equipment from an under-loaded site.

For the contractor

It benefits the contractor too

Connecting a contractor to the system usually raises the question of what is in it for them. The answer is that the data is open to both sides.

No need to prove hours

Hours worked are confirmed by telemetry. By month-end there is nothing left to argue about.

Documents are assembled automatically

The acceptance certificate and invoice are generated from the approved timesheet. Details and service names are pulled from settings.

Payment arrives faster

Approval follows the set route, and the contractor can see exactly which step their timesheet is at.

Your own fleet, always visible

For every unit you can see utilization, load and earnings by project.

Implementation

How the rollout works

Implementation follows six steps across three phases: a survey of the sites and contract practices, configuring site boundaries, shifts and approval routes, and launch with on-site training for supervisors.

Contractors are connected in batches. Each one needs to provide access to its monitoring system and a list of equipment with license plates. The first sites go live while the rest are still being connected.
