HOW UNITS DISAPPEAR

THREE WAYS REVENUE QUIETLY WALKS OFF THE BOOKS

THE PAPER LOG BLACK HOLE

Serial numbers on index cards. Cards get shuffled, lost, coffee-stained. Nobody knows if PT-2847 is still at the site or got picked up 6 months ago.

THE 'I THOUGHT YOU MOVED IT' PROBLEM

Driver A thinks Driver B moved it. Driver B was on vacation. Site supervisor swears it was there last week. Nobody knows.

THE SILENT REVENUE DRAIN

Unit sits at a site for 8 months. Still 'rented' in your head. But you stopped invoicing 3 months ago because you forgot it existed.

HOW FLOWROUTE FINDS THEM

A LIVE LEDGER OF EVERY UNIT, EVERY SERVICE, EVERY CYCLE.

Service cycles → automated jobs → missed service alerts → a daily lost-unit dashboard. No spreadsheet required.

CYCLE MONITORING

Every unit has a 7/14/30-day cycle. Past due? Flagged.

TIERED ALERTS

Yellow at day 7, red at day 14, escalated at day 21.

ONE-TAP DIAL

Last known customer + site contact, ready to call.

RECOVERY DASHBOARD

Track lost → found → recovered $ over time.

OPERATOR RESULTS

THE FIRST MONTH IS USUALLY THE BIGGEST.

FAQ

WHAT OPERATORS ASK FIRST

Q.01HOW DOES FLOWROUTE KNOW A UNIT IS LOST?+

Every unit has a service cycle (typically 7 or 14 days). If a 'rented' unit goes past its cycle window without a completed service job, FlowRoute flags it as at-risk and escalates after 21 days.

Q.02WHAT IF I DON'T KNOW WHICH UNITS I'VE LOST?+

Our onboarding includes a one-time reconciliation report. We compare your active rentals to your service history and surface every unit that's gone silent — even if it's been months.

Q.03DO YOU CONTACT THE CUSTOMER FOR ME?+

FlowRoute auto-generates a one-tap call list with the last known address, gate code, and site contact. You make the call — most operators recover the unit on the first try.

Q.04WHAT'S THE TYPICAL RECOVERY RATE?+

85% of flagged units are recovered within 14 days. About 10% are recovered for damages payout. The remaining 5% are permanently lost — but at least you can write them off cleanly.
