In their own words
EquipmentShare
EquipmentShare’s T3 is a cloud-based platform for contractors managing mixed construction fleets. Connected telematics hardware provides live information about asset locations, condition and utilization. T3 supports heavy machinery, light-duty vehicles and non-powered assets, bringing telematics, cameras, maintenance and compliance tools into one dashboard. GPS tracking, geofences and SMS or email alerts help users monitor equipment and respond to possible theft or misuse. Keypads can restrict machine access and record operator history; dash cams provide road- and driver-facing views with alerts for risky driving. The platform also supports ELD and DVIR workflows and records state fuel use and mileage for IFTA reporting. Its mobile app supports tracking, work orders, inspections and utilization monitoring. OEM feeds typically refresh every 15–60 minutes, while AEMP-compliant systems can connect without extra hardware or separate portals. T3 is included with EquipmentShare rental machines and can also be purchased for owned equipment. Pricing is on request.
