United Rentals Announces Telematics Integration with Procore to Expand Equipment Visibility for Customers
United Rentals, the world’s largest equipment rental company, and Procore Technologies, a leading global provider of construction management software, have announced a new strategic partnership and their first telematics integration. The integration enables shared customers to bring United Rentals rental equipment data directly into the Procore Resource Management solution, expanding visibility and simplifying equipment management across jobsites.
The integration is part of United Rentals’ broader innovation strategy to provide customers with actionable information. By creating open integrations across the construction ecosystem, United Rentals aims to provide AI-driven insights that enhance productivity, safety and asset efficiency for customers.
“Access to accurate, real-time equipment data is essential for running efficient and productive jobsites,” said Tony Leopold, chief technology and strategy officer, United Rentals. “By integrating United Rentals telematics data into Procore, we’re extending visibility into rental equipment within a platform many of our customers already use every day. This helps them better plan, track, and manage equipment across their projects."
Together, United Rentals and Procore aim to bridge the industry’s “resource gap,” the disconnect between office planning and jobsite execution. By integrating telematics into Procore’s Resource Management solution, customers gain a unified view of equipment, labor and materials to streamline planning, tracking and forecasting. The integration supports AI-driven recommendations to optimize resource deployment, helping customers maximize productivity and asset utilization across projects.
How the Integration Works
By connecting their United Rentals account directly within the Resource Management solution, customers can automatically sync rented equipment records and available telematics into their existing workflows. This centralized view allows teams to manage owned and rented equipment side-by-side, providing the operational awareness needed to support more proactive equipment planning across jobsites.
“The biggest killer of productivity isn’t a lack of effort, it is the lack of visibility,” said Steve Davis, president of product & technology at Procore. “By integrating United Rentals telematics directly into Procore Resource Management, we’re providing total orchestration for both owned and rented fleets in one place. This unified view will enable contractors to maximize field productivity and deliver stronger project outcomes.”
The United Rentals telematics integration is now available to mutual customers through the Procore Resource Management solution.
