Optimizing for loss on job sites
Trackunit can help rental centers track tools and increase utilization with Kin, a durable earbud-sized device that transmits through Trackunit’s core telematics devices, the Trackunit Raw or Trackunit’s mobile application.
These two mediums create a mesh network on job sites, in yards, and throughout the geographic region. This network is made up of the tool’s owner of Trackunit core telematics device plus any customer who has Trackunit devices installed on equipment or the applications on their phones.

With more than 1.1 million core units installed globally, this mesh network is ever-expanding, Trackunit sources report.
“Our goal is to help our customers minimize loss on job sites, and also reduce the administrative burden around this type of equipment. Further, Trackunit recently released a utilization component that helps determine how much and how often a piece of tracked equipment is being used, says David Swan, Trackunit vice president of Product Management.
In addition to the hardware and software associated with Kin, Trackunit recently announced a partnership with Hilti, which will help expand the network even deeper into the embedded tool technology arena. “It’s exciting to combine what Hilti has been doing in this space for many years with our ecosystem of software and hardware. We believe it will truly transform the lower value asset tool space.”
