AI for Heavy Equipment Yards | TMI Technology
Heavy Equipment Yards

Every machine accounted for. Every rental billed.

Heavy equipment yards manage millions of dollars of assets that move in and out constantly. TMI builds the operating layer that tracks every excavator, dozer, and crane from the gate to the jobsite and back - with maintenance and billing running automatically alongside.

The Problem

Equipment yard management breaks down when machines leave the gate.

Rental start dates, return condition, machine hours, and maintenance windows are all hard to track on machines that are 30 miles away on a jobsite. By the time problems surface, revenue has already leaked.

01

Rental billing based on estimates

Without a digital log of when equipment left and returned, rental billing relies on the coordinator's notes and the customer's word. Disputes are common and underbilling is even more common.

02

Maintenance windows missed on rental units

A machine comes back from a 90-day rental and goes straight onto a new dispatch. The 500-hour oil change and filter service that was due hasn't happened because nobody tracked the hours while it was out.

03

Equipment availability unknown until you walk the yard

Answering a customer's availability question requires physically checking the yard or calling whoever is supposed to be keeping track. That delay costs you quick-turn rental opportunities.

What TMI Builds

Six systems. One operating layer.

Built for heavy equipment yards managing high-value assets across multiple customer accounts with rental billing, maintenance schedules, and yard availability all running together.

01

Equipment Availability Dashboard

Every machine's status visible in real time - available at the yard, on rental, in maintenance, or in transport. Availability questions get answered in seconds, not after a yard walk.

02

Rental Contract and Billing Tracker

Rental start date, agreed rate, and return date logged per machine per customer. Billing runs from the contract record - not from memory or a coordinator's notepad.

03

Machine Hours Log

Hours reported or estimated per machine per rental period. Maintenance intervals calculated from actual usage - not from elapsed calendar time that doesn't account for how hard the machine worked.

04

Pre-Dispatch and Return Inspection

Condition documented with photos at every dispatch and return. Customer damage disputes resolved with timestamped before-and-after records - not competing descriptions of what the machine looked like.

05

Maintenance Schedule by Machine

PM intervals tracked per unit with alerts before service windows are due. No machine goes back out on rental with deferred maintenance that will become a breakdown claim on someone else's jobsite.

06

Revenue per Machine Reporting

Rental revenue, maintenance cost, and downtime tracked per unit. See which machines are generating returns and which are sitting idle or consuming disproportionate repair costs.
