Phillips Connect Smart Tracking for Secure Fleets

The ideal tool for fleets in Latin America looking for security, real-time tracking, and uninterrupted connectivity.

In Latin America, fleets operate in increasingly dynamic and demanding environments, where security and efficiency are key factors for logistical success. According to the 2024 LATAM Logistics Sector Risk Report by Skholl, countries like Brazil and Mexico report high levels of cargo theft incidents, with over 17,000 and 15,900 cases in 2024, respectively. Industrial routes linked to sectors such as food, electronics, and construction account for a significant portion of these challenges.

Argentina, Colombia, and Chile are also showing an increase in reports related to cargo management, especially in sectors such as agriculture and consumer goods. In this context, having advanced tracking technology is no longer optional — it's a competitive advantage.

In response to this growing need, Geotab introduces Phillips Connect asset trackers developed by one of the global leaders in smart trailer and asset tracking technologies. This line of geolocation devices is specifically designed to deliver greater security, operational visibility, and efficiency, even in high-risk environments. Thanks to their compact design these solutions enable real-time asset monitoring without drawing attention—offering fleets strategic and discreet control over their operations.

Technology that protects what matter most

In logistics, the most valuable assets aren't always the most visible—they can be a critical load, a field asset, or your customer’s trust. With 4G connectivity backed by 3G and a global SIM, Phillips Connect trackers ensure continuous coverage across Latin America and North America.

Its portfolio includes three versions tailored to different types of operations and specific needs:

• AssetTrac: Ideal for agricultural machinery, off-road vehicles, forklifts, and other specialized equipment. It offers a battery life of 2 to 4 years. You can also opt for the AssetTrac with HE harness, which allows engine hour monitoring—perfect for motorized assets. 
• SolarNet:  Powered by solar energy, ensuring continuous monitoring even in remote locations. Its battery lasts up to 10 years, providing long-term, stable service. The device is designed for easy installation on trailers, containers, railcars, or heavy machinery and uses high-frequency ultrasonic sensors for precise object detection.
• StealthNet: A covert GPS tracking solution designed to prevent trailer theft and cargo loss. Its flexible, discreet installation makes it difficult to detect. It features a high-capacity battery that can operate for six to nine months without recharging, along with reliable connectivity, anti-theft capabilities, and data analysis across multiple wired and wireless networks. 

These innovations provide fleet managers with real-time visibility through the MyGeotab platform—regardless of asset location. This translates into total operational control without geographic barriers.

All of these options are now available for partners and customers in Latin America through the Geotab Marketplace.

Efficiency that Drives Business Impact

Phillips Connect trackers not only enhance fleet security—it also drives operational efficiency and asset control. With real-time visibility, businesses can prevent asset misplacement, reduce manual search times, and optimize asset utilization. This leads to better decision-making based on accurate data, fewer resource losses, and increased profitability.

What’s most valuable is that this technology isn’t limited to large companies. Whether you manage a fleet of hundreds or are an independent operator with just a few vehicles, these trackers offer the location data you need.

• For small and mid-sized businesses, it’s an accessible tool to protect their investment and secure their revenue.
• For complex or growing operations, it’s a scalable solution that enables faster, more strategic decision-making.

In every case, it adapts to the size, pace, and specific needs of each business—empowering operations from the very first kilometer.
