TRACKUNIT and Sunbelt Rentals UK & Ireland have extended their partnership to increase their fleet connectivity and deliver more actionable insights to customers.
This partnership increases connectivity to over 20,000 assets as part of a five-year growth strategy – called Sunbelt 4.0 – to create a unified digital experience for customers alongside the firm’s digital transformation programme.
The aim is to allow Sunbelt Rentals customers to access telematics on non-traditional equipment from battery storage units to solar-enabled accommodation and tower lights, through to fuel tanks, as well as all core plant, PA and power-based products.
Launching this month, Sunbelt Rentals is introducing a new customer portal built on the Trackunit IrisX platform, connecting their assets into one system. Powered by Trackunit’s customisable platform and ecosystem, this will provide actionable insights as soon as customers enter the portal.
Matthew Ross, director of asset connectivity, said, “The expansion of our partnership with Trackunit will allow us to provide our customers with more insights from the equipment they hire from us, enabling them to make more informed decisions about their hiring and operational practices. AI-driven insights will allow to predict maintenance needs, minimise downtime and increase on-site efficiency.
“We’re also able to provide accurate data on carbon emissions, supporting customers in meeting their sustainability goals. Connectivity is no longer just about tracking equipment. It is the foundation for delivering intelligent partnerships with our customers and suppliers.”
Lærke Ullerup, chief marketing officer at Trackunit, added, “We’re proud to deepen our collaboration with one of the UK’s leading rental providers. Together, we’re creating a more connected industry putting safety, sustainability and innovation at the heart of construction.”
