This article explains how to Enable Equipment Tracking in your BusyBusy account for Web, and Mobile.

Enabling equipment tracking in your BusyBusy account, allows you to track equipment usage when employees track their time to specific pieces of equipment, as well as log the most recent hour meter readings for each machine. You can also track equipment costs, locations and even assign Inspections*, require and restrict access with Certifications*, and install GPS Devices* and Cameras* in your equipment. *Requires the purchase of additional product features and services.*
