Construction equipment
Bill every working hour, and catch every hour nobody approved.
Who buys it: contractors, equipment rental companies and infrastructure developers.
Machine hours drive billing and service, but they are written on paper, and out-of-hours use is invisible.

- Engine hours
- Hours run per machine, per site and per day.

Questions
Construction equipment: common questions
How are engine hours measured?
From the ignition signal or the machine’s own hour meter. The engine hour counter can be set to match the machine.

Will I know if a machine is moved off site?
Yes. Outside geofence for and Towing both alert when a machine leaves its site or moves with the ignition off.
