Track Every Asset.
Prove Every Condition.

Equipment and asset condition documentation with immutable, blockchain-anchored photographic records throughout the lifecycle.

The Problem

Equipment Records Are Unreliable

Without certified photographic evidence, equipment condition at handover is impossible to prove — leading to costly disputes.

Rental Return Disputes

Equipment rental companies and clients disagree on damage responsibility. Without timestamped condition evidence, both sides are guessing.

📅

Maintenance Record Gaps

Paper logs are lost, falsified, or incomplete. When equipment fails or safety incidents occur, there's no trusted maintenance trail.

Theft & Loss Claims

Without certified condition records, insurance claims for stolen or damaged equipment are contested — delaying payouts for months.

The Solution

How Kura Solves This

Four steps from camera to certified asset record — no special hardware, no workflow changes.

1

Capture

Photograph equipment condition at pickup, return, or any maintenance checkpoint using Kura's web app. The photo is hashed instantly.

2

Certify

The SHA-256 hash, claimed GPS, and identity are anchored to the Internet Computer blockchain via consensus — creating an immutable record.

3

Encrypt & Store

The original media is encrypted with vetKeys and stored on-chain. Only authorised parties — owners, renters, insurers — can decrypt.

4

Verify

Anyone can independently verify the asset record — hash match, timestamp, and identity — with a single verification link.

Features

Built for Equipment & Asset Workflows

📷

Handover Documentation

Photograph equipment at every handover point — pickup, return, transfer between sites. Each image is hashed at the point of capture.

Consensus Timestamp

Blockchain consensus provides a trusted, immutable timestamp for every condition record — not device clock, not editable metadata.

👤

Identity-Linked Records

Every capture is linked to a verified identity. Know exactly who documented the equipment and when — eliminating deniability.

🔒

End-to-End Encryption

vetKeys encryption ensures sensitive asset records are only visible to authorised stakeholders — owners, fleet managers, and insurers.

📄

PDF Evidence Pack

Generate a full evidence document with cryptographic proof, chain of custody, and audit trail — ready for disputes or insurance claims.

🔗

Shareable Verification

Share a single verification link with rental companies, clients, or insurers. No account needed to confirm asset condition authenticity.

Real-World Scenario

Excavator Rental Dispute — Resolved Instantly

Case Study

A construction firm rents a £200K excavator. At pickup, both parties photograph the machine from every angle using Kura — capturing the hydraulic system, tracks, cab, and boom in detail.

Three months later, on return, the rental company claims hydraulic damage occurred during the rental period and seeks £35K in repair costs.

Result: The Kura-certified pickup photos — with blockchain timestamp and identity verification — clearly show the hydraulic system was already showing wear marks and minor seepage at the point of collection. The dispute is resolved the same day with no repair charge to the construction firm.

Without Kura, this dispute would have dragged on for weeks with competing expert assessments, costing both parties in legal fees and equipment downtime.
