EquipmentShare

EquipmentShare is a nationwide construction solutions ecosystem provider that solves industry pain points through smart jobsite technology and equipment rental, retail and service distribution. EquipmentShare’s cloud platform enables construction and industrial companies to gain a real-time view into the connected jobsite. EquipmentShare’s enterprise suite is OEM-agnostic and can track any piece of equipment, regardless of brand, to help fleet managers monitor assets, prevent theft and machine misuse, track employee hours and shifts, increase machine utilization, streamline maintenance and prevent unplanned downtime.

Comments from EquipmentShare

"In 2020, we were proud to be named Fleet Management Technology Company of the Year by the AutoTech Breakthrough Awards. This award was validation that our technology is paving the way to productivity and innovation in the greater fleet management space. Traditional telematics are OEM-specific. Managers of mixed fleets know this isn’t helpful when they’re trying to gain insight over holistic fleet function, overall maintenance planning or productivity across machines at a jobsite. That’s why EquipmentShare’s technology is OEM-agnostic: It runs on vehicles, equipment and machinery, regardless of brand or manufacturer. Fleet managers can track location, run time, idle time and engine health of not just their own machines, but also their rented machines. With this insight, they can evaluate job productivity levels across their multiple jobsites, see which machines are idling and which are being used — and even locate stolen assets from any internet-connected device."
