"Which yard is the mini-ex in?"
Assets move between sites without paperwork. By the time someone notices, the machine has been idle on a finished job for three weeks.
Equipment tracking
Location and utilisation for excavators, generators, trailers and attachments spread across yards, jobsites and subcontractors. Engine-hours and movement come off the same telemetry as position, so utilisation is measured rather than estimated.
No credit card. 5 demo devices, 1,000 events / device / month.

Duplicate hire against equipment you already own is the most expensive kind of lost asset — it bills monthly and never shows up as a loss.
Utilisation decides what to keep, move or sell. Without runtime data that decision is made on the loudest opinion in the room.
Every asset on one map regardless of which site, subcontractor or hire it is currently on.
Ignition and movement telemetry turn into hours worked, so you can see which machines earn and which are parked.
Get told when an asset leaves a jobsite or arrives at a yard, rather than finding out at the next stocktake.
Machines with switched power and unpowered assets like trailers and attachments both report, on hardware suited to each.

Start with the assets that go missing most often, and expand once utilisation data starts changing decisions.
