Can we white-label the customer view?
Yes — Business plans support white-labelled customer dashboards. Your branding, your domain, our backend. Talk to us about a co-branded portal.
Built for the trade
GPS tracking for hire fleets.
Hire kit lives a life of its own — out on a job in Brisbane on Monday, returned to a depot in Cleveland on Friday, hired to a different crew Sunday night. Without tracking, you are guessing. TTT puts every asset on the map.
The pattern
It is not just 'stolen' in the hire world — it is also late returns, off-site moves and assets that go quiet on a customer's site:
Wacker plates and breakers
High-volume hire items. Routinely walk out of depots, customer sites and Bunnings car parks.
Generators and light towers
High-value items that go on long hires. Lost, stolen or sub-hired without your knowledge.
Compactors and rammers
Lifted into utes from suburban driveways. Sold whole or stripped for parts.
Trailers and dollies
Hooked up to a different vehicle, towed off site. Tilt-trays follow the same pattern when left overnight.
The damage
What it costs you.
For a hire fleet the cost compounds:
- Replacement of the asset (insurance excess plus premium impact)
- Lost hire revenue while the asset is missing
- Customer disputes over where the asset went
- Audit and compliance pain when the fleet register does not match reality
How equipment hire use it
How equipment hire use TTT.
Use case
The depot inbound check
Geofence the depot. Trackers automatically register as "returned" when an asset comes through the gate. Your counter staff verify, your fleet system updates, no clipboards required.
Use case
The customer site
Customer-facing dashboard view shows your customer where their hired kit is on their site. Drives down disputes and improves the next quote.
Use case
The "where the hell is it" recovery
Tracker stops reporting? Use the last known location plus the customer record to figure out whether it is genuinely lost or just sitting inside a steel container at the back of a yard.
None of these is a silver bullet. Locks, lighting and insurance still matter. TTT is what tells you where the gear went after the locks fail.
FAQ
Equipment Hire questions.
The questions tradies in this trade actually ask before they buy.
How do you handle high asset turnover (assignments changing daily)?
Assets get reassigned in the dashboard by your hire desk. The location history follows the tracker, but ownership and customer assignment move with the contract. Bulk reassignment is supported via CSV upload or API.
Does it integrate with our hire management system?
Yes — Business plans include API access. We have integrated with major Australian hire systems before; talk to us about your stack and we will work out the spec.
How is this priced for a fleet of 200+ assets?
Custom Business pricing. Per-asset monthly cost drops at scale; hardware is volume-discounted; install can be done in batches at your depot.
