The Service may give you access to various types of information about your power equipment and fleet vehicles, for purposes such as maintenance, customer quotations, billing, route scheduling and optimization, equipment status and location, hours of operation, utilization, conditions, battery voltage levels, and equipment connectivity status on a site-by-site basis. You may create custom reports and track your productivity on a real-time basis using the Service. The Service includes analytic information about your use of the Equipment.
The Service may include connectivity to allow the Equipment to communicate using the Internet.
To use the Service, you must first create a user account.
