When most people think of GPS tracking, vehicles are usually the first things that come to mind. However, in today’s rapidly evolving logistics and security landscape, GPS technology goes far beyond fleet management. From warehouses to ports, construction sites to remote facilities, a wide range of industries are now using GPS asset tracking to secure non-vehicular assets like shipping containers, construction equipment, and high-value cargo.
If your business involves any kind of physical asset movement or storage, GPS tracking is not just a luxury—it’s a necessity.
Why Track Non-Vehicle Assets?
Non-vehicular asset tracking helps businesses:
- Prevent theft and loss
- Improve operational efficiency
- Gain real-time visibility
- Ensure compliance and accountability
- Optimize asset utilization
Whether you’re managing construction tools, rental equipment, or mobile storage units, knowing the exact location and status of your assets at all times can save you thousands—if not millions—of money annually.
Examples of Assets You Can Track
🏗️ Warehouse Equipment
Pallet jacks, forklifts, and even inventory carts are essential to warehouse operations. Losing track of them delays operations and increases replacement costs. With GPS asset tracking, you can monitor usage patterns, downtime, and movement across large facilities—especially in multi-warehouse operations.
🚛 Shipping Containers
Containers often travel across regions, countries and even oceans. Traditional tracking ends when the container leaves the vehicle—but with our GPS solution, you can track containers independently of the truck or ship. This helps reduce detention fees, monitor delays, and prevent tampering during transit.
📦 Cargo & High-Value Freight
Using compact, battery-powered trackers, you can attach GPS devices directly to valuable shipments. You’ll receive real-time alerts if the cargo is opened, moved off-route, or stops unexpectedly. This added layer of visibility improves client trust and logistics control.
🗑️ Waste Management Containers
Municipalities and private waste companies lose time and money tracking down misplaced dumpsters or bins. With GPS-enabled waste containers, you can monitor drop-off and pickup locations, reduce unauthorized use, and improve route planning for collection services. It’s a game-changer for improving operational efficiency in waste management.
