Our SolarTrak GPS tracking system is a growing and changing entity, and – thanks to continual dialog with customers – we’ve identified areas we could make improvements. We’ve freshened the look, the icons and the map – which now also appears on the Assets Page.

One of the most popular additions is a pop-up box that displays multiple assets at one location (for instance, your equipment yard), making it easier to click on a single asset when equipment is parked in a group.

New Pop-Up shows a complete list of equipment when a group of assets are parked in one area

Below are some of the other improvements you can enjoy:

• Mobile-friendly formatting for your smartphone now makes it easy to view data from your handheld devices.
• Improved “Events Log” tab now allows the user to filter by branch, asset type or event.
• While in the “Timeline” tab of the “Assets” page, you can click on either Google or Bing and find step-by-step driving directions to the asset.
• The new “Location Feature” allows users while in the “Map” or “Geofence” views to zero in on a specific location by entering the address of that location.
• The former ‘List View” has been renamed “Assets”, and includes a map and more legible data.
• Our “Reports” tab now allows users to view or download information on assets that will be due for service based on days or engine hours. This will allow for efficient planning of work by your service team.

We hope you agree that these new features make using SolarTrak even easier. If you’d like to send us your thoughts, use the Feedback link on the login page or email info@solar-trak.com. We appreciate your suggestions!

Congratulations to SolarTrak customer Wistar Equipment of Carney’s Point, NJ for being chosen as the featured rental house in the March/April issue of Pro Contractor Rentals.

The article talks about how the company focuses on customer service and the talents of the technicians, and specializes in pneumatic and electrical power generation rentals. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer company!

Thanks also to Wistar for the complimentary SolarTrak mention. Steve Scattolini, V. P., Business Development explains in the article how telematics and SolarTrak play an increasing role in managing their fleet. As he said, “This technology is incredible and helps us better monitor our equipment. It allows us to monitor the equipment, we can set up a geo-fence that can notify us if equipment is moved.”

And since Wistar repairs and serves the equipment, “We can set up maintenance notification as the equipment puts on hours so we can better plan technician’s work schedules,” added Scattolini.

Our prospective customers frequently ask for recommendations – and we’ll let Wistar brag about SolarTrak any day!

We welcome the chance to meet customers face-to-face…. And sometimes, it pays off for them, too!

In March, SolarTrak greeted visitors at trade shows sponsored by the ARA (American Rental Association) in Orlando, and ConExpo in Las Vegas. After both shows, we held a drawing for a new Amazon Echo from among the attendees who visited our booth and saw a demo.

Here are the lucky winners:

• ARA: Terry Schroeder of Highlift Equipment in Cincinnati, Ohio.
• CONEXPO: Kevin Christensen of NMC The Cat Rental Store in Omaha NE.

Congratulations to Terry and Kevin. Your Amazon Echoes are in the mail.
