FAQ

Does Yarduno track equipment maintenance schedules?

No. Yarduno records checkout, return, condition, and billing context, not service intervals or maintenance history.

Can I see how long a specific unit has been out?

Yes. Each checkout ticket is tied to the unit record, so open checkouts and dwell time are visible at a glance.

Does Yarduno require GPS or telematics hardware on equipment?

No. Records are captured at checkout and return using mobile or tablet workflows, with photos and notes as proof.

Can equipment checkout be billed automatically?

Checkout and return dates attach to a rate plan, so days out roll into an invoice-ready record instead of being rebuilt by hand.
