7. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 6 wherein the method further comprises:

providing a current location of said asset with said maintenance alert.

8. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 wherein the method further comprises:

providing a time for performing said maintenance on said asset with said maintenance alert, wherein said time for performing said maintenance is extrapolated from said asset report.

9. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 5 wherein the method further comprises:

tracking said operation and said location of the asset to ensure adherence to rental contract rules and reduce asset downtime.

10. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable instructions embodied thereon which, when executed, cause a computer system to perform a method, said method comprising:

determining, via communication with a first reporting source comprising a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver, a real-time location of an asset;

determining, via communication with a second reporting source comprising an electronic sensor coupled with the asset, a real-time operation condition of the asset;

populating a database with the real-time location and the real-time operation condition of the asset;

utilizing said database to generate an asset report including the real-time location and the real-time operation condition of the asset;

utilizing the asset report at an owner level to track said asset including its location and operation;

generating a maintenance schedule for said asset based on the real-time location and the real-time operation condition of the asset, thereby enabling an owner of the asset to provide maintenance service for the asset; and

outputting a period of time during which maintenance is to be performed on said asset without hindering operation of said asset.

11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 10 wherein the method further comprises:

providing a maintenance alert when maintenance is needed for said asset.

12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 11 wherein the method further comprises:

providing a current location of said asset with said maintenance alert.

13. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 12 wherein the method further comprises:

providing a time for performing said maintenance on said asset with said maintenance alert, wherein said time for performing said maintenance is extrapolated from said asset report.

14. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 10 wherein the method further comprises:

tracking said operation and said location of the asset to ensure adherence to company policy and reduce asset downtime.

15. A method for providing maintenance to an asset, the method comprising:

determining, via communication with a first reporting source comprising a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver, a real-time location of an asset;

determining, via communication with a second reporting source comprising an electronic sensor coupled with the asset, a real-time operation condition of the asset;

populating a database with the real-time location and the real-time operation condition of the asset;

utilizing the database to generate an asset report including the real-time location and the real-time operation condition of the asset;

utilizing the asset report to track the asset including its location and operation;

generating a maintenance schedule for the asset based on the real-time location and the real-time operation condition of the asset, thereby enabling an entity associated with the asset to provide maintenance service for the asset; and

outputting a period of time during which maintenance is to be performed on the asset without hindering operation of the asset.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

providing a maintenance alert when maintenance is needed for said asset.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

providing a current location of said asset with said maintenance alert.
