Improved operations with telematics for construction equipment rental companies
Equipment rental is a relatively new yet rapidly growing industry with some
international companies turning over €1 billion annually. The reasons behind
its popularity are capital release, range of equipment availability,
maintenance, and compliance with standards and regulations. This explains the
uptick in telematics sales within this industry, as GPS tracking of equipment
can help with the latter two reasons.
A comprehensive telematics system for construction equipment can retrieve
all the necessary data to run a flawless maintenance program. The equipment
data collected and its analysis make complying with regulations a breeze.
Furthermore, having an accurate log of equipment use and location allows rental
companies to run a smooth operation. Let’s take a look at how Eberle-Hald
improved their business with ENAiKOON’s equipment monitoring system.
Construction equipment rental management at Eberle-Hald
Eberle-Hald is one of the biggest construction equipment rental companies in
Stuttgart, southern Germany. They have been using ENAiKOON’s telematics
solution since 2007. Since then, more than 300 GPS devices are being used at
nine different branches. “Access to equipment data, such as operating hours,
battery condition, and loading times, at any time is of the utmost importance
to us,” says Michael Busch, the company’s rental manager. “If technical
problems occur, our emergency service staff will need to quickly identify the
problem in order to make the equipment operational again.”
The ENAiKOON telematics system enabled them to produce precise rental
contracts and customer invoices by knowing exactly where the equipment is
located along with its time stamp. With inViu pro, the rental company receives real-time alerts and
information on their rented equipment, and having an accurate account of
equipment availability helped streamline their operations. Eberle-Hald even
took ENAiKOON’s inViu pro web portal one step further and integrated it for
their customers to use. They gave their customers the option to see which
equipment at which site is currently being used, allowing their renters to have
the complete billing information to give to their own clients.
