1. 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 a manufacture 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 a manufacturer 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.

Abstract
A method for providing maintenance to an asset is disclosed. In one embodiment, a database having asset information from a plurality of disparate sources is accessed. Asset information in the database is utilized to generate an asset report. The asset report is utilized to track an asset including its location and operation. Scheduling information regarding the asset is utilized such that the manufacturer can provide a scheduled/unscheduled maintenance program for the asset.
