Certified equipment rental: digital evidence for delivery and return

Certification of machinery and equipment condition at delivery and return with legally valid digital evidence to prevent disputes over damage and wear.

Operational rental of machinery, industrial equipment and capital goods requires rigorous documentation of asset condition at every stage of the contract. At delivery and return, photos and videos collected by operators often remain on personal devices, lacking certain dates, geolocation and integrity guarantees.

TrueScreen enables operators to certify every piece of evidence with digital signature, eIDAS timestamp and GPS coordinates, transforming delivery and return reports into documentation with full legal validity compliant with the eIDAS Regulation and applicable civil law requirements.
