Overview

Understanding asset tracking

Not every valuable asset is a vehicle. Generators, trailers, construction plant, machinery and equipment are expensive, portable and frequently stolen or misused — and a self-powered GPS tracker lets you keep them in view wherever they go.

The device attaches discreetly to the asset and reports its location periodically, with alerts if it moves without authorisation or leaves a yard, site or store you have marked. For hire businesses that means always knowing where hired-out equipment is; for site operators it means protecting plant against theft and recovering it quickly if it is taken.

Because the trackers are wireless and battery-powered, there is no vehicle wiring to worry about — we set the reporting frequency to balance visibility against battery life for the way you use each asset.
