Equipment Rental

The equipment rental business is booming—but it also comes with significant risks. Whether you're renting out construction machinery, generators, medical devices, or event equipment, one thing remains essential: complete visibility and control over your assets.

At Zard, we provide CST-licensed GPS tracking solutions specifically designed for the rental industry in Saudi Arabia. Our platform empowers you to monitor, protect, and optimize your fleet of rented assets—reducing risk, improving efficiency, and maximizing revenue.

Why GPS Is Critical in the Rental Industry

Without proper asset tracking, rental businesses often face:

• Equipment theft or unauthorized movement

• Disputes over usage, duration, or condition upon return

• Delayed returns or contract violations

• Missed maintenance schedules leading to breakdowns

• Loss of revenue due to downtime or unbilled hours

From construction to healthcare and events, knowing where your equipment is, how it's being used, and whether it's secure is vital for business success.

High-Risk Rental Sectors

• Construction: Generators, concrete mixers, compressors, pumps, dumpsters

• Healthcare: Medical beds, ventilators, oxygen systems, patient lifts

• Events: Sound systems, lighting equipment, stages, portable power units

• Utilities & Sanitation: Mobile toilets, containers, water tanks, trailers

These items are highly mobile, often stored outdoors, and frequently handled by third parties—making them prime targets for theft or misuse.

Key Features of Zard’s GPS Rental Tracking System

• Real-Time Location Tracking
  Monitor your assets at all times—whether in use, idle, or in transit—on an interactive dashboard.

• Geofencing and Movement Alerts
  Define approved zones such as job sites or delivery areas. Receive alerts if an asset leaves the area or is used outside of approved hours.

• Usage Monitoring and Runtime Logs
  Track engine hours or movement duration for accurate billing and proactive servicing.

• Tamper Detection Alerts
  Detect if the tracking device is removed or tampered with, enabling immediate action to prevent theft.

• Magnetic or Discreet Mounting Options
  Install GPS units easily on metal surfaces or conceal them within equipment for added security.

• Motion-Based Tracking
  Activate location reporting only when the asset is in use—ideal for preserving battery life during storage periods.

• Indoor-Friendly with BLE Sensor Compatibility
  For assets stored in enclosed areas or facilities, our system supports sensor-based tracking when GPS is weak.
