Monitoring more than just vehicles with GPS asset tracking

By Taylor Fasulas November 17, 2020

GPS tracking is an indispensable fleet management solution that can help to boost efficiency and improve fleet safety. However, the resources of your business extend well beyond your drivers and their vehicles. With so many vehicles spread across wide service areas, it can be difficult to keep track of your fleet, let alone any additional assets in the field. GPS-based asset tracking can help to ensure that no asset, large or small, is overlooked while providing managers and business owners with much-needed peace of mind.

Asset Tracking Monitors Moveable and Fixed Assets

By installing GPS-tracking devices on moveable and fixed assets, such as containers and trailers, managers and business owners are able to keep an eye on all aspects of their business and make certain that their assets receive the necessary attention. This can relate to smaller pieces of equipment like generators in addition to larger assets such as pods. When considering the high cost of fleet equipment, it only makes sense that fleet managers and business owners would want to monitor their assets in the field.

With any number of vehicles and drivers reporting in every day, there'۪s the possibility for movable assets to get lost in the shuffle. Through the installation of mounted and self-powered asset-tracking devices, you'۪re able to monitor these assets. 

Protect Assets with GPS Tracking Solutions

Managers and business owners can be confident that all assets are accounted for. Fleet managers can see an update daily to keep you informed. This way, if a container is ever missed during a shipment or delivered to the wrong location, a manager or business owner are capable of taking action to provide a proactive solution.

The asset tracking system can be accessed directly from the online dashboard used by the fleet'۪s existing GPS tracking solution. With an installed asset tracker, managers and business owners are able to direct equipment transfers and adjustments allowing for the control of multiple assets or job sites from the comfort of their computer or mobile device.

An Easy, Affordable Asset Tracking Solution

Managing your high-value trailers and equipment, like cranes, trailers and backhoes, is as important as tracking your company’s vehicles. Verizon Connect Reveal offers an asset tracking solution that is easily installed on your equipment. No additional software to learn or install makes managing and tracking movable and fixed assets both easy and affordable for businesses of any size.
