The commercial angle

A chargeable line on every rental. The structure the rental market is moving to.

Leading hire firms resell monitoring data through their customer portals as a paid line, comparable to the premium already charged for tracked tower lights or monitored generators.

Two outcomes for the hire firm: additional per-rental revenue, and stronger customer retention as the site team becomes dependent on the dashboard.

On the depot side: documented evidence for warranty disputes, accurate pricing on heavy-utilisation customers, and automatic low-load protection on generator jobs.

Customer-facing line

Per-rental kWh, runtime, voltage history. Surfaced through your portal via the Partner API, or via the Spine front-end white-labelled.

Warranty defence

Per-asset record of what each unit did between dispatch and return. Loss-adjuster evidence, not depot-foreman recall.

Utilisation pricing

Visible 18-hour duty-cycle vs 6-hour. Pricing leverage on the next renewal.

Generator load management

When generator load drops too low, Spine switches auxiliary load on automatically, and off again as demand rises. Generators stay in working condition longer.

The platform

Four areas. One platform. One screen.

Spine runs on the same device whether it sits on a construction-site board or a hire-fleet distribution board, on mains or generator power. Genset load management is Power and Control combined; humidity inside a welfare unit is Climate; per-customer dashboards run on Connections.

The Spine portal

What your depot sees.

Three views from the Spine portal. The platform is running across a Nordic hire fleet today.

Spine portal fleet devices view — multi-board live monitoring across hire fleet
01
Fleet devices
Multi-asset live view with per-device load, voltage and runtime. Each device card stores photos of the unit on rent. Live status, predictive alarms, fault flags.
Spine portal energy report — per-rental kWh, cost and consumption
02
Energy report
Per-rental kWh, cost and consumption per device. Rolls up to per-customer and per-project totals. CSV and Partner API export. The data your customers use for their own reporting.
Spine portal site layout view — per-customer site map
03
Site layout
Per-customer site view, colour-coded per board. What your customer sees on their live dashboard: green = within margin, amber = elevated, red = fuse-trip risk. Live load percentage per outlet.
Use cases

Where Spine pays back across your hire fleet.

Three deployment scenarios drawn from live production.

Warranty & dispute

Documented evidence on every asset.

Per-asset record of load, runtime and fault flags between dispatch and return. When the manufacturer challenges a claim, the depot answers with timestamped data — not depot-foreman recall.

Customer revenue

A chargeable monitoring line on every rental.

A live view your customer accesses through your portal — kWh consumed, runtime and load, per-rental summary. A paid line on the contract; a reason for the customer to renew next quarter.

Fleet operations

Generator protection and fire prevention.

Automatic auxiliary load on/off keeps generators correctly loaded when site demand drops too low, so they stay in working condition longer. Temperature alarms catch loose connections before they become electrical-cabinet fires.

Before the call

Common questions.

Spine monitors the 3-phase distribution boards across your fleet. It runs on mixed fleets, regardless of equipment vendor.

Who runs Spine in production today?

Spine is in production across the Nordic rental market, Cramo and Renta among the groups running it. Further references are available on request.

Which boards does Spine monitor?

Spine reads the 3-phase distribution boards across the fleet — generators, transformers, distribution panels and MID-grade kWh meters. It gives the depot and the customer one live view of load, runtime and consumption per board.

Does Spine integrate with our rental management software?

Yes, via the Partner API. Existing integrations include event triggers (asset on/off-hire, fault flags, end-of-rental energy report) that push into inspHire-, MCS- or Syrinx-based systems. Integration specifics are scoped in your offer; if your stack is bespoke, a one-week scoping engagement covers it.

How long does deployment take per asset?

Plug & Play unit on a standard 3-phase distribution board: under 15 minutes per asset, no electrical certification needed beyond the board's existing first-fix. 4G auto-connects to the strongest local network on power-up. Data starts flowing within five minutes of connection. Integrated-into-board variant: configured at the TSR-Elsite factory; arrives pre-commissioned.

What's the support arrangement?

Direct line to the TSR-Elsite Spine engineering team during European business hours. Out-of-hours emergency contact for production-blocking faults — same engineer who deployed your fleet, not a Tier-1 BDR. Contract scope is per-deployment; specifics in your offer.

What does Spine cost?

Per-device + license, charged per-asset or per-fleet depending on volume. Indicative pricing is in the offer we send you, with typical per-asset cost per month included. Full quote is prepared after the project conversation.
