Asset tracking

Trailers, machines, skips, tools: anything without an ignition switch gets lost, gets lent out and sometimes gets stolen. Our battery-powered GPS trackers last up to 5 years and tell you where your equipment is, with no wiring and no power supply.

The problem

Gear with no power socket falls off the radar

A trailer, a generator, a skip, a container or a toolbox does not switch on. There is no ignition and no socket to power a standard tracker. As a result, the equipment leaves the depot without a trace, moves from one site to the next and sometimes never comes back.

Equipment that vanishes

Trailers, generators and tools get stolen or go missing between two sites. In the end you buy back what you already owned.

No reliable inventory

The same pool is spread across several sites and nobody knows exactly where. You lose hours searching, and a site stalls because a machine is idle somewhere else.

Costly assets sitting idle

A machine you cannot see is a machine you do not use. You end up hiring in equipment that is already available in your own pool.

What our asset trackers watch

Position and zones

Regular location updates from a high-sensitivity GNSS antenna, geofencing per depot, per site or per customer. A trailer leaving its zone at night, you know straight away.

Movement and impacts

An accelerometer detects movement, tilt, door opening and impact. The tracker sleeps to save its battery and wakes up as soon as something happens.

Temperature and humidity

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensors for the cold chain: temperature and humidity reported continuously, alerts as soon as a threshold is crossed, history you can export for your customers.

Battery life

Up to 5 years without recharging

An asset tracker is only worth anything if it still works when you need it. Ours manage their energy intelligently: reporting frequency matched to the use, deep sleep between events, low-battery warning long in advance.

The unit is hardened, waterproof and mounts anywhere, with no wiring and no power on the asset. For rented equipment or gear at risk of theft, it is a device the thief does not think to look for.

  • Long-life battery, up to 5 years depending on reporting frequency
  • Hardened IP68/IP69K enclosure, high-sensitivity GNSS antenna, universal mounting
  • Configurable reporting: periodic, triggered on movement (accelerometer) or scheduled by day and hour
  • Geofencing with movement alerts outside permitted hours
  • The same dashboard as your vehicles: one single platform

What you gain

5 years
Battery life, depending on reporting frequency
IP69K
Hardened enclosures, waterproof, rated for high-pressure washing
0 cables
Fitted with no power and no wiring, in a few minutes
1 platform
Your vehicles and your non-powered assets in one place

Less equipment stolen or mislaid, so fewer replacements. Better utilisation once you can finally see what is idle and where. And a more accurate inventory: less overstock, fewer stalled sites for want of the right machine in the right place.

In practice

One site, fifty tools

On a site, tools move from crew to crew and disappear without anyone knowing when. Fitting a GPS tracker to every drill makes no sense. Instead you attach discreet, low-cost Bluetooth Low Energy tags to the tools and small assets.

A BLE gateway built into a vehicle or into the site container reads the tags nearby and sends them to the platform. When the site closes, you know what stayed, what left with a crew and what is missing.

  • BLE tags and sensors on tools and small assets
  • Onboard BLE gateway that reads the tags and reports them to the platform
  • Inventory per site or per vehicle, with no manual counting
  • Alert if an asset leaves the site outside scheduled hours

Frequently asked questions

Can you track a trailer or an asset with no battery or power supply on board?

Yes, that is exactly what our asset trackers are made for: they carry their own battery. They need no power on the asset at all. You fix one to a trailer, a generator or a skip, and it runs on its own for years. For tools, BLE tags read by a gateway are the better option.

What battery life can you expect from a self-powered tracker, and what happens at end of life?

Up to 5 years depending on reporting frequency: the more spread out the position updates, the longer the battery lasts. The tracker goes into deep sleep between events and wakes on movement. You get a low-battery warning long in advance; depending on the model the battery is replaced or the unit is swapped. Nothing stops without notice.

How do you track tools at low cost on a site?

With Bluetooth Low Energy tags. They cost a fraction of a GPS tracker and stick onto tools and small assets. A BLE gateway, in a vehicle or in the site container, detects the tags around it and sends the inventory to the platform, with nothing for your crews to do.

Can you be alerted if an asset moves at night or over the weekend?

Yes. The accelerometer triggers a report as soon as an asset moves, and geofencing warns you if it leaves its zone outside permitted hours. You set the time windows; any movement at night, over the weekend or off site raises an alert by email or in the app.

Can you track rented equipment or equipment spread across several sites?

Yes, that is a common use. You create a zone per site or per customer, and each asset shows where it is, on a single map. For equipment rented out to third parties: an alert if it moves outside the agreed hours, and proof of use for invoicing.

How accurate is the location from a self-powered tracker?

A few metres outdoors, like a standard GPS. Indoors or inside a metal container, the tracker switches to cellular network positioning, less precise but good enough to identify a depot or a site.
