Equipment and compliance
No expired card on a job, no idle iron on rent
What you decide with it
Decisions you make with it, not after it
Which rental to send back
Rentals due back within two weeks or past their off-rent date are listed together, with the hire and idle cost on each. A return becomes a move in one step.
Which machine is where
With Samsara connected, machines report position and engine hours. The office sees which are at their job, near it or away, and counts idle rental days from engine hours.
Who holds which tool
The tool crib shows every tool with a person, on a job, in a truck or at a yard. Field requests, counts and losses wait for the office in one place.
How it works
How it works
Qualifications with proof
Licenses, certifications and inspections are held by people, crews, equipment and subcontractors, each with dates, a certificate and its history. A lapsed one shows red and no longer matches needs.
Notices before expiry
The people you choose get one summary by email and in the app at each notice point: by default 60, 30 and 7 days before, and on the day. Jobs at risk from a lapsed card are listed.
Service plans by calendar or meter
Each machine follows service plans that come due by days, by meter units, or both. Due service shows on the compliance list, and each service recorded stays in the machine’s history.
Rentals and the tool crib
Rental agreements carry their dates, rate and fees, and hire builds up day by day. The tool crib tracks checkouts, field requests and counts, and losses wait for the office to accept.
In the field
Tools from the phone
Workers see what they hold, take a tool or scan its tag, ask the crib for what they need, and count a truck or a job by scanning.

“Great for scheduling manpower, equipment, crews to particular jobsites or projects.”
Easier than a white board and it keeps history of what happened. Allows you to see what resources are available in the future and where all resources are at any time. You can do better planning which makes better use of resources and saves you money. Keeps track of rental equipment so you know when rental period is coming due.
