Rented out.
Not written off.

Every rental house lives on the same two numbers: utilisation and damage. Talos gives you both, per machine, per customer, per branch — and the audit trail to back the invoice.

Utilisation lift
+18%.
Disputed hours

What you're trying to fix

The jobs equipment rental bring to Talos.

If your version of the problem isn't on the list, tell us — we've probably seen it.
  • Know exactly how many hours a machine ran on rent, not what the customer says.
  • Get an alert when a machine leaves the agreed geofence.
  • See utilisation per branch, per category, per customer — without exporting anything.
  • Detect abuse (over-revving, cold starts under load) before the machine comes back broken.
  • Automate off-rent triggers and stop billing when a machine is genuinely idle.
  • Push billable hours straight into your ERP at month-end.
Outcomes

What changes in the first 90 days.

Billing you can defend.

Machine hours are stamped at the source, with a timeline the customer can see too. Disputes end at the invoice line.

  • Immutable hour log per rental
  • Auto-generated proof-of-use PDF
  • ERP export (CSV, API, webhook)

Geofence & recovery.

Know when a machine leaves site, crosses a border, or ends up somewhere it shouldn't — before the customer calls.

  • Per-contract geofences
  • Border and after-hours alerts
  • Full location history

Abuse detection.

Cold starts under load, over-revving, coolant warnings — flagged in real time, tied to the active rental.

  • Fault codes routed to the workshop
  • Abuse events on the return checklist
  • Photo evidence at check-in / out
How it fits your week

From telemetry to work order, without the busywork.

  1. 01

    Off the yard.

    Machine goes out, hours zeroed against the contract. Geofence and rules attach automatically.

  2. 02

    On rent.

    Live hours, location and health. Alerts route by branch or account manager.

  3. 03

    Return.

    Return checklist pre-filled with hours, faults and geofence events. Damage is documented, not debated.

  4. 04

    Invoice.

    Billable hours push to your ERP. Every line traces back to a timestamp.

From the field
Our billable hours went up 8% in the first quarter — not because usage changed, but because we finally captured what was already there.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Do you integrate with our rental ERP?
We push billable hours and events via CSV, webhook and REST. We've integrated with the major European rental ERPs — ask us about yours.
Can we set rules per branch or per customer?
Yes. Geofences, alert routing, off-rent thresholds and abuse rules can all be scoped to a branch, contract or customer tier.
What about small machines without telematics?
Retrofit trackers cover the sub-tonne kit. They give you location and hours, which is usually all rental needs.
