Simple Asset Tracking for Billing, Proof, and Peace of Mind

Some assets will never have odometers, ECM ports, or full telematics. They do not have dashboards or hour meters, and they will never feed you engine data. They simply do their job, get moved to the next place, and keep working.

The trouble sometimes comes when someone tries to bill for services delivered by those assets, especially if the asset is rented or the jobsite is not tightly monitored.

That is when GSatSolar earns its keep.

GSatSolar is a simple, solar-powered breadcrumb device that gives you exactly the thing these assets are missing: independently verified time-on-site records. It wakes up, reports, and goes back to sleep. No power. No wiring. No pairing. Just clean, timestamped location data that proves when something arrived, how long it stayed, and when it left.

Choose Higher Reporting Rates for Better Accuracy

Most GSatSolar plans work for time-on-site logging, but higher reporting rates tighten the accuracy for better billing. If you want receipts for your customers, choose a plan that checks in more often, like anything with 12 or more daily positions. More breadcrumbs means more precise entry and exit timestamps.

If the whole point is to show that your asset really was on the job from Tuesday at 9am until Friday afternoon, a shorter reporting interval makes your life easier and your paperwork bulletproof.

Real Examples

Here are a few common situations where GSatSolar saves people from disputes, guesswork, and free labor.

Large Dumpster Drop-Off and Pick-Up

Roll-off dumpsters rarely get the respect they deserve. They sit on job sites for days or weeks, and nobody wants to pay for an extra day if they can argue about timing. GSatSolar ends the argument.

You get a clean report that shows the day time that it first reported being on site, and another that shows it's been picked up and taken off-site.

From there, you can easily generate a clean, defensible bill for days on site. No confrontations, no back-and-forth, no digging through handwritten notes or relying on day labor to keep accurate logs.

Rental Goats for Land Clearing

Goats do not come with telematics, and grazing jobs do not send attendance reports. Landowners and property managers, however, still expect accurate billing. A GSatSolar er tag on each animal turns the whole job into verifiable data.

• Herd arrival
• Location history showing animals plowing through bursh and kudzu
• Location history showing parcels covered
• Herd departure

Whether you charge per day, per acre, or per grazing cycle, GSatSolar gives you objective time-on-site logs that match the bill.

Anything That Sits Somewhere and Earns Money

• Bale wagons
• Portable toilets
• Small rental implements
• Event barricades
• Signage trailers
• Tool cages
• Construction debris bins
• Mobile feeders

If its value depends on the number of days it sits on someone else’s property, it benefits from time-on-site verification.

A Simple Tool That Pays for Itself

GSatSolar does not try to be a full telematics system because it does not need to, because YOU don't need it to. For non-powered assets, the problem is not engine data or fuel levels; the problem is proving that something was where you said it was, for the amount of time you said it was there.

A handful of accurate, solar-powered pings solve that problem. Reliable time-on-site records turn arguments into invoices, and disputes into clean accounting. If you want to track movement, confirm presence, and bill confidently, GSatSolar gives you exactly enough data to do it right.
