Real-time location, usage, and maintenance history for every tool, machine, and vehicle - so nothing goes missing and nothing breaks without warning.
Equipment goes missing. Tools get double-booked. Vehicles sit idle because nobody knows they're available. Asset tracking solves the awareness problem - every piece of equipment, every tool, every vehicle gets a location, a status, and a history that anyone in the operation can access in real time without making a phone call.
TMI's asset tracking infrastructure integrates with your dispatch, maintenance, and billing systems so asset data isn't siloed. When a machine is assigned to a job, maintenance history follows. When it's due for service, the scheduler knows. When it comes back, utilization is logged automatically. The result is a complete operational picture of everything you own or operate.
Every tagged asset - tool, machine, or vehicle - reports its location and status continuously. Field teams see availability without calling the yard. Dispatchers assign without guessing what's out.
Every check-out, job assignment, and return is logged automatically. Utilization rates surface by asset, by crew, by site. You see what's overworked and what's sitting idle before budgeting the next rental.
Service records, inspection results, and work order history travel with every asset. When a machine moves sites, its entire history moves with it. No rebuilding records, no "who last touched this" conversations.
Rental tracker and fleet tracking work together to cover every asset category - from hand tools to heavy equipment to vehicles.
Know exactly what's out, who has it, when it's due back, and what's available right now. Eliminate double-bookings, lost tools, and the phone calls to find out where the lift went.
Every vehicle, machine, and piece of equipment accounted for. Location, current status, utilization rate, maintenance history, and cost per asset. One view of everything you own or operate.
Asset tracking pays off for any operation running multiple locations, equipment fleets, vehicle fleets, or high-value tool and device inventories - physical or distributed.
Tools and equipment move between sites constantly. Tracking eliminates the daily scramble to locate gear, prevents double-booking, and shows exactly what's on which site before the foreman drives out to check.
High-value equipment spread across remote locations. Asset tracking gives operations managers a single view of equipment status, maintenance due dates, and location - without radio calls to site supervisors.
Utilization rates, idle time, and job assignments tracked automatically across every machine in the fleet. Rental decisions backed by data, not gut feel. Equipment downtime caught before it kills a job schedule.
Specialized tools, vehicles, and equipment tracked across service territories, branches, or offices. Whoever assigns the work sees real availability first. Asset history ensures compliance requirements and ownership travel with the asset.
Van inventory, specialty tools, and shared equipment - plus laptops and devices issued to remote staff - tracked in real time. The right gear reaches the right person before the job, not after. No more delays because an asset is in the wrong place.
We'll map your current asset management gaps and show you exactly what full-fleet visibility looks like for your operation.
FAQ
The system tracks every asset - vehicles, equipment, tools, trailers - using GPS, IoT sensors, or telematics. Asset location and status update in real time. When an asset goes out of its authorized area, doesn't return by a scheduled time, or shows usage patterns that trigger a maintenance alert, the notification fires automatically.
Geofencing rules define where each asset is authorized to be. When an asset leaves its authorized area outside of scheduled hours or without a corresponding job assignment, the alert fires immediately. The system logs location history for every asset continuously, providing a complete audit trail for investigation.
The system monitors hours, mileage, and usage patterns for each asset against its maintenance schedule. When an asset approaches a service threshold, the maintenance alert fires automatically and schedules the asset into the appropriate service window. Usage data - not just mileage but actual operating hours and cycle counts - makes the schedule accurate rather than estimated.
Small equipment and tools get GPS tags or RFID tags. The system tracks them at the job level - checked out to a job, returned to the warehouse - and flags items that haven't been returned within defined timeframes. Equipment loss in field service is often invisible until a tech needs a tool and can't find it; asset tracking makes it visible and recoverable.
Yes. Asset tracking data feeds the dispatch system with real-time location for vehicle routing decisions. Usage data from asset tracking feeds job costing - actual equipment hours on each job populate the cost calculation rather than estimated hours. Billing for equipment-intensive jobs pulls from actual usage records.
Vehicle fleet tracking with telematics integration typically deploys in 4-6 weeks. Adding IoT sensors for non-vehicle equipment extends the timeline by 4-8 weeks depending on the number of asset types. Full small equipment and tool tracking with RFID takes 8-14 weeks.
