Introduction
Rental finance teams need objective, time‑stamped proof of when assets were at a jobsite and for how long. Geoforce automates this with GPS‑verified Days‑on‑Site, purpose‑built Rental Manager workflows, and shareable Service Verification reports—so invoices reconcile themselves before they’re sent.
How automatic rental invoice auditing works
-
Geofence once, audit forever: Create named locations (yards, jobsites, rigs/wells) and associate them to contracts or rental orders. When a tracked asset crosses a geofence, the platform logs an enter/exit event with coordinates and timestamps. Geofencing | Track & Trace
-
Days‑on‑Site computation: The platform ties those geofence events to the asset and job to produce a GIS‑backed Days on Location count used for invoice lines and credits. Results are exportable and schedulable. Asset Utilization (Days on Location)
-
Rental context at the edge: Rugged trackers (satellite, cellular, and hybrid) ensure coverage in city yards and remote lease roads alike, preventing “missing days” due to dead zones. Hardware options include intrinsically safe Zone 0 models for hazardous sites. GT2s spec | GT1s | GT2h
-
Single‑pane rental workflows: Use Rental Manager to associate assets to jobs, rigs, or wells; track status; and run billing audits. Share GPS‑based proof of delivery/service through Service Verification.
Reduce disputed invoices to <1%
-
Transparent, third‑party GPS evidence removes opinion from billing conversations.

Implementation playbook: start an audit pilot
1) Select a 30‑day pilot cohort: e.g., 100 on‑rent assets across 3 branches and 10 top jobsites. 2) Define geofences and job mappings (rig/well IDs, work orders). 3) Configure Days‑on‑Site and ticket validation reports; set weekly schedules to AR and branch ops. 4) Enable customer visibility (read‑only child accounts) to pre‑clear invoices before submission. 5) Integrate exports to ERP/RTMS (contract, asset, jobsite, GL mappings). 6) Measure success: target <1% disputes, 90% auto‑reconciled tickets, and cycle time cut ≥50%. 7) Roll out enterprise‑wide; add exception dashboards to suppress hoarding and uncover uncaptured days.
