AEMP GPS Setup
This article will explain the AEMP Telematics Integration Menu and how to set up a new manufacturer and import the files from your manufacturer/GPS provider to your point of rental system. AEMP GPS Setup allows you to get the hour meter reading as well as the location of items in your fleet. To enhance this, your items will be polled at least once daily, and the current meter will be automatically updated in the inventory record. This ensures your maintenance and service are up to the minute all the time. So, if your customer runs your equipment 24/7, you will know immediately that you need to go out and service the equipment. This will allow you to make informed decisions about necessary maintenance and repair services.
Please see our article "AEMP Set to Task Runner" to learn how to set a Task Runner for AEMP.
