Commonly asked questions

GPS asset tracking solutions enable fleet managers to keep track of the locations and conditions of high value equipment, such as:

  • Trailers and containers 
  • Generators 
  • Heavy-duty site equipment such as loaders, bulldozers and excavators 
  • Lifting equipment and cranes
  • EV fleets  

    A GPS device is fitted to each piece of equipment. It sends data in real-time to the asset tracking software. For Geotab, this information is all accessed through one central, web-based platform, MyGeotab.

 

Data that is captured includes information on engine hours and equipment condition and usage. This data can then be used to: 

 

  • Establish maintenance schedules
  • Maximize equipment utilization
  • Enable you to provide more comprehensive billing data to your customers


Asset tracking solutions show you the current location of each device and allow you to set up geofences around your sites so that you can get an instant notification if an asset leaves the site boundaries. This gives you the power to respond immediately if an asset is stolen.

The best devices for asset tracking have long battery lives and are built to endure harsh weather and rough handling. This process is known as "ruggedizing".

Asset tracking software enables fleet managers to understand the locations and conditions of all high-value equipment and portable assets. 

 

Thousands of assets can be managed and controlled on one single web-based platform so that you can get the most out of all of your equipment. Asset tracking solutions help you to ensure that you’re getting a good return on your investments and mitigate instances of additional equipment being purchased or hired when assets are sitting idle on other sites. They also minimize time wasted hunting for equipment across multiple job sites.

Geotab fleet tracking software reports on: 

  • Fleet compliance 
  • Vehicle emissions
  • Driver safety 
  • Vehicle health

GPS asset tracking protects your assets from loss, theft, and under-utilization. With asset tracking software, you can track engine hours, historic usage, and site entry and exit times, all of which can be used to provide comprehensive billing to your customers. 

 

You can also schedule reminders for maintenance and replacement, and instant alerts can be sent when assets leave a site boundary, are subject to impacts, or exceed usage thresholds.

There are many advantages to using Geotab’s asset tracking software, together with the GO device. These includes:

• Easy installation
• Expandability via IOX
• Secured communication ability
• An in-built accelerometer and gyroscope
