AT A GLANCE
The challenge: tracking rented machines with no idea where they are or how many days they actually work, while most competitors are already equipped.
The solution: Fleeti GPS trackers on the machines, for simple, fast fleet tracking.
The results: undeclared days of use billed, invoices backed by data and less misuse.
A construction equipment rental company for professionals and private customers
Droploc is a civil engineering machinery rental company based in Ustaritz and Saint-Martin-de-Seignanx. It rents its equipment to professionals and private customers alike.
In this business, the machine is the product. Once it has left for the customer's site, the rental company loses visibility on what is done with it.

Before Fleeti: no visibility on the days actually worked
Droploc wanted to track some of its rental machines more closely: knowing where they are and how they are running, in order to check the days actually worked.
Without this data, there was no way to check that a rental matched the use declared by the customer. And most of Droploc's competitors were already equipped with this type of tracker.

Why Droploc chose Fleeti GPS tracking
Droploc chose Fleeti for a simple reason: better tracking of its fleet, quickly and easily. The trackers installed on the machines show where each one is and when it is running.
The rental company also tells its customers that the equipment is fitted with trackers. Tracking therefore acts as a deterrent as well as a control.

Results: undeclared days billed and invoices backed by data
Since installing the trackers, Droploc has been able to check some rentals and bill extra days when customers had not declared all their use.
The data also serves as evidence: Droploc can justify its invoices to customers. And because customers know the machines are tracked, misuse has dropped.
For Droploc, Fleeti is first and foremost a control tool rather than a customer satisfaction lever. It simplifies fleet management, makes billing fairer and more transparent, and gives the company a competitive edge in the construction equipment rental market.
