What you have today

Machines leave the yard with one fuel estimate and come back with another. Mechanical hour meters are disputed, geofence breaches are noticed late, and idle electronics drain batteries during storage.

What we add

DUT-E logs fuel level at dispatch and return, Power Timer records runtime and protects battery health, and gateway alerts trigger on geofence or off-hours movement. Every rental has a defensible data trail.

What you'll see

Each rental period as a compact operational scorecard.

Per-machine view combines hours, fuel deltas, and exception events so ops and billing teams close the same file without manual reconciliation.

  • Hours ledger - engine on/off events with timestamps for billable-hour validation.
  • Fuel handover proof - start/end volume, refuels, and unusual drops inside one timeline.
  • Exception alerts - geofence exits, after-hours use, and battery-risk idle windows flagged early.

Two ways to do it

Hours-only control or full rental accountability stack.

Rental operators focused on invoicing speed start with runtime and location control. Fleets with recurring fuel disputes and battery service costs add fuel sensing and power management.

How it fits together

Rental telemetry without changing your software stack.

Power Timer, optional DUT-E, and gateway data flow into your existing rental or telematics platform for billing, operations, and maintenance decisions.

+18%
Common deployment � Regional equipment rental
Billing reconciliation improved within one quarter

Replacing disputed mechanical hour records with electronic runtime logs recovered previously uninvoiced usage and reduced back-office dispute handling.

0
Common deployment � Yard-return operations
Fuel handover disputes dropped to zero in routine workflows

Dispatch and return fuel snapshots with timestamps gave teams shared evidence, replacing manual checklists and reducing escalation loops.

-32%
Common deployment � Mixed rental fleet
Battery-related service callouts reduced after idle power control

Power Timer cutoff policy reduced dead-battery incidents during storage and improved next-rental readiness across high-turnover machines.
