Introduction
Activity alerts, which are activated by analysing hours-of-use data, trigger an e-mail notification when a piece of equipment exceeds or underperforms on a predefined hours-of-use threshold.
Use case
As an equipment hire company, I would like to be alerted if my equipment is running at the weekend or over a non-contractual period, so that I can adjust my invoicing.
As an operator, I would like to be alerted if my equipment has been running less than 4 hours a day.
