Insight, Security and Efficiency for Rental Companies
More insight, fewer risks, and faster administration for rental companies
In the rental industry, everything is on the move: vehicles, machinery, and equipment constantly change renters, locations, and usage intensity. Without real-time oversight, you lose valuable time, unexpected costs rise, and disputes with customers occur. With GPS-Buddy, you digitalise and optimise your rental process from A to Z: less manual work, more control, and happier customers.

One system
Powered by our own smart hardware, you get a single, clear overview with real-time information from the field. Think of an asset tag that records when a crane is moved, or a vehicle tracking system that sends driving behaviour and operating hours. Flowter automatically processes all this data and makes it usable – for planners, field staff, and management. No separate tools, no double data entry. One system.
Lower maintenance costs and fewer damage claims
By using data smartly, you avoid unexpected downtime, costly repairs, and unclear damage disputes.
