Every hire can end with the same conversation about how the equipment was used. A Field Unit on the equipment builds a timestamped record of activity, inactive periods and reported location, giving the discussion a shared starting point.
Period utilization
68%
The hirer remembers a fortnight of ordinary work. You remember a machine that came back needing a tool change. Both accounts are honest and neither is checkable, so the argument is settled by whoever is more stubborn, and the difference gets absorbed quietly and resented for a year.

Usage evidence gap
Weak usage evidence makes billing and renewals harder to defend.
Operational gaps
A renewal priced against a worst case you carried forward from one bad experience. A tool that goes out again because nobody knew what the last hire did to it. And the quiet habit of absorbing the difference rather than raising it.
A hirer who worked the machine sensibly now has something to say so with, which is worth more to them than winning one argument. Agree the basis before the hire rather than producing a record for the first time in the middle of a dispute, where it reads as an accusation no matter how accurate it is.
Recorded activity, inactive periods and utilization context for reviewing what the equipment reported during the hire.
Timestamped activity and inactive-time records that support day rates, excess-hours reviews and customer conversations.
Recorded activity, configured intervals and maintenance history reviewed together rather than relying on fixed hour blocks alone.
Telemetry and usage-based anomaly alerts that highlight equipment requiring operational or maintenance review.
How SolidTrack transforms raw data into rental operational efficiency.
Support usage discussions with timestamped activity and inactive-time records instead of relying on recollection alone.
Support return-date planning with reported activity and location context from equipment on hire.
Review recorded activity alongside configured meter and calendar intervals before planning the next service.
Use timestamped activity and inactive periods as supporting context in excess-hours reviews and customer conversations.
Review which units recorded activity and which remained inactive before planning the next hire.
Telemetry you can act on for billing, planning and handbacks, grouped for quick scanning.
Most tracking solutions are designed for light-duty delivery vans. SolidTrack was engineered for the job site. The Field Unit is rated IP69K for high-pressure washdowns and dust. Its specified operating temperature range is −30 °C to +85 °C.
Nylon housing molded around epoxy: no seams, no wiring, nothing to service.
Out of coverage, readings are stored on board and sent the moment the network returns.
Book a walkthrough to see how SolidTrack supports billing context, utilization visibility, usage patterns and maintenance context across equipment on rent.
Not necessarily, because the two metrics can count different things. SolidTrack derives activity from three-axis motion telemetry and reports inactive periods separately, while many hour meters count from key-on or engine-on time. If the contract bills on a machine or OEM meter, keep using that meter for billing and use the SolidTrack record as supporting utilization context.
Yes. The unit is battery powered with no wiring to the machine at all, so it comes off with its screws (max 3 Nm) and goes onto the next asset in minutes, with nothing to cut, weld or wire into a power take-off. Reassign it to the new asset in Inventory so the history stays attached to the right machine. Plan for one thing: battery life is quoted in transmissions, typically around 4,000 at one transmission a day, so a unit set to report more often will run down sooner.
Yes, through Secure Share. Create a read-only external URL for one asset and choose its expiry date. The customer can see its current or latest reported location and movement history. They cannot see telemetry, documents, maintenance information, other equipment or platform modules, and they do not receive a SolidTrack account. An authorized user can revoke the link before its expiry date.
SolidTrack classifies firing bursts by duration: 0 to 20 seconds controlled, 21 to 40 extended, 41 to 80 associated with mushrooming risk, and 81 to 180 prolonged. It also analyses telemetry to detect and classify blank-firing patterns. These are timestamped operational indicators, not a 100% certain physical diagnosis or a legal finding of fault, so use them as the basis for inspection and conversation rather than the end of either.
A site or geofence can record reported entry, exit and breach events for assigned equipment and trigger the configured alerts. Position may come from GPS/GNSS or mobile cellular positioning where available, but availability, accuracy and freshness depend on conditions, network coverage and reporting cadence. Outside coverage, the store-and-forward log holds 300 entries by default and uploads retained records after connectivity returns. Longer offline periods can exceed available storage. This can provide movement history after reconnection, but it is not a live recovery beacon.
