Telematics for rental, made simple

You’re in the rental business. Time’s always tight. Telematics and GPS tracking tell you where your gear is, when it moves, and how much it’s getting used. The payoff? Faster turnarounds, cleaner billing, and way fewer losses.

Who we are

Hapn is the premier telematics and GPS tracking provider for equipment rental companies—and a preferred partner of Point of Rental. We’ve built our reputation by making complex tracking technology work seamlessly with the tools rental businesses already use every day.

What is telematics?

Small tracking devices and OEM data feeds send location and engine information straight to you. Hapn takes all that data and feeds it directly into Point of Rental, so your team stops playing guessing games.

Why rental owners swear by it

  • You’ll know exactly when gear leaves and returns. No more fuzzy on-rent and off-rent times.
  • Bill for actual usage. When a machine reports hours or miles, we automatically add it to the invoice and service schedule.
  • Cut down on “where is it?” phone calls. Your counter staff and dispatch can see status updates instantly.
  • Stop equipment from walking away. Get after-hours alerts and exit notifications, plus tracking trails if you need to recover something.
  • Keep tabs on the small stuff. Attachments, trailers, and hand tools stay where they belong.
  • Encourage safer driving. Smart dash cams catch risky behavior and back you up during insurance claims.

See your whole fleet at a glance

View vehicles, equipment, trailers, and attachments all on one screen. Spot what’s working hard and what’s sitting idle. Catch problems before they become job-stoppers and get a tech out there fast.

Mixed fleet? No problem

Already using OEM telematics? Keep what you’ve got. Hapn reads data from all the major heavy-equipment manufacturers and combines it with our own devices. See everything in Hapn, then push the important stuff into Point of Rental.

Turning Data Into Decisions: Unlocking Rental Intelligence

The rental industry is incredibly rich in data. Every transaction, every fleet movement, every service ticket, and every customer interaction generates information.   For decades, this information remained siloed, underutilized, or locked away in legacy systems. The result is that many rental businesses still operate reactively, relying on historical reports
