Equipment Cost
The Sage Timberline Office suite's fully integrated Equipment Cost module manages the details of equipment cost, revenue and usage to help you maximize your return on investment.

• Track ownership and rental information.
• Group equipment by type, such as trucks, lifts, and backhoes.
• Track a piece of equipment as an attachment to another (e.g., the bucket of a backhoe).

Revenue and cost tracking
Use cost and revenue codes to monitor equipment-related costs and revenue from various sources.

• Define rates with up to four decimal places.
