Nixon Hire meets growing customer demand for real-time renewable energy monitoring with launch of Pulse
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 30 March 2026 - Nixon Hire today announces the launch of Pulse, an online,
browser-based portal giving customers automatically refreshed insight into energy use, carbon impact and
cost performance linked to off grid renewable energy equipment on hire.
Developed in direct response to customer needs that go beyond the provision of sustainable assets, Pulse
is a digital customer interface resulting from an 18-month, seven figure investment in data infrastructure.
Built for operational and sustainability teams, Pulse provides portfolio-wide visibility with the ability to drill
down to individual sites and assets. It draws on data from Nixon Hire’s connected renewable energy fleet
and converts it into clear, consistent dashboards and detailed asset outputs in just a few clicks, reducing
manual collation and avoiding reliance on estimates, which has traditionally been the norm across the
sector.
Pulse helps customers understand what is driving site performance, and how changes on the ground affect
outcomes. By making it easy to compare sites and see the contribution of different assets over time, it
supports more informed decisions on how equipment is deployed and operated, helping teams optimise
sustainability objectives.
Pulse is a significant pillar in Nixon Hire’s digital strategy and reflects the company’s belief that an effective
digital interface with customers is fundamental to its role as experts in sustainable sites and unlocks further
value from its renewable energy assets.
Ahead of launch, Pulse was tested across 28 customer sites, where early users highlighted time saved,
improved consistency in reporting from a single, trusted data source, and better visibility of up-to-date
performance to support day-to-day operational decisions.
Through Pulse, customers can:
• View equipment and renewable energy assets on hire by site
• Access live diagnostic insights and identify energy generation issues
• Track financial savings, fuel savings and carbon reductions
• Compare site efficiency and performance across multiple locations and time periods
• Access asset-level renewable power performance data
• Export site-level and portfolio-wide reports in PDF, or data in Excel
• View Nixon Hire’s wider ESG performance data, including depot-level sustainability metrics
Available for all renewable energy customers, Pulse is initially focused on renewable energy monitoring
and reporting, with planned updates set to extend into broader operational and financial aspects of the
customer experience.
Brian Cornett, Chief Executive Officer of Nixon Hire, commented:
“Pulse is one of the most important undertakings we’ve delivered as a business. It brings together a huge
amount of work to connect equipment, centralise data and strengthen the systems that sit behind the
customer experience, so customers can actually see real data as evidence and act on it across sites.
“We have invested heavily and worked closely with customers throughout, because the aim was never to
create just another dashboard. Pulse was developed to remove the friction customers have told us they
face in gathering and reporting performance data, giving customer operational and sustainability teams a
shared, trusted view of performance and making reporting quicker and easier.
“This launch reflects how we are raising expectations of what a sustainable site partner should deliver. By
combining our substantial renewable energy hire fleet with a fully connected data platform, we believe we
are giving customers the visibility and usability they need to manage site performance with greater
confidence. We will keep building on it in direct response to what customers tell us they require.”
