Track valuable assets with GPS asset tracking
Reduce equipment downtime, right-size your resources and find your physical assets fast with our purpose-built range of GPS tracking devices.
Find what you need. Fast.
Don’t waste costly downtime looking for equipment. Access our GPS asset tracking software from your desktop or mobile phone, and know where it is in real-time, and if it’s currently in use. Filter thousands of assets by tag, type or name.
Get more from all the assets you own
Save on renting equipment or purchasing new assets by easily tracking utilisation of all your assets, across the entire business. Asset reporting can identify under-utilised assets, which can be sold or allocated more effectively.
Save assets from misuse with alerts
Create alerts that let you know if assets are being used outside of authorised hours or an asset moves from a geofenced location, and keep misuse to a minimum. Notifications can be sent directly to your security team for a faster response.
Advanced recovery mode for stolen assets
Recover stolen assets faster with advanced recovery functionality. Once activated, your tracking device will increase the rate at which it reports its location, to aid the recovery process and assist authorities.
Reduce downtime with preventive maintenance
Receive automatic maintenance alerts based on engine hours or time intervals and keep key assets productive, and within the requirements of factory warranties. Oil changes, replacing parts or general servicing can prevent costly downtime and extend the lifecycles of your assets.
Install yourself or leave it to us
Getting started with our asset tracking solution is easy. Do it yourself, or book in with our nationwide network of qualified installers.
- Self-installation
Asset tracking devices can be simple enough to install yourself, allowing you to just ‘place and trace’, without any complicated or lengthy installation procedures. For basic asset tracking setups, this means you can be up and running in minutes. - Nationwide installers network
Our trained network of professional installers means large-scale or more complicated installations are not a problem. Talk to us about your requirements and we can organise a schedule that minimises any downtime and deploys your asset tracking solution as quickly as possible.
Tracking devices for every scenario
Large, small, battery-powered, weatherproof, remote locations or very specific data collection requirements — there’s an asset tracker perfectly suited to your needs. And equipment tracking devices are now more affordable than ever before.
Powered & non-powered devices
Tracking devices can be connected to the asset’s power source, or provide their own battery power, using cost-effective and widely available alkaline or lithium batteries, which, depending on the reporting rate, can last up to seven years.
Tough construction
Built to withstand the elements, choose weatherproof (IP67) devices that are compact, rugged and designed to last no matter what their environment throws at them.
Input / interface options
Increase the types of asset data your devices can track with a range of inputs available for third party assets including analogue or digital, or multiple interfaces (RS-232, RS-485, SDI-12 or I²C Sensor).
Flexible networks
Track your assets anywhere in Australia, even outside of coverage areas or using private networks. Connect your asset tracking device using 2G, Bluetooth®, 4G LTE-M / NB-IoT, Helium, Iridium Satellite, LoRaWAN® or Sigfox.
Tamper-proof
The security of your tracking devices is critical to reliable reporting, which is why devices are not only built tough but can also include tamper alerts.
Battery-powered for up to 7 years
When it’s not possible to connect to an asset’s power supply, choose a battery-powered GPS asset tracker, with widely available and cost-effective alkaline or rechargeable lithium batteries. Battery life can last up to seven years (with a built-in low battery alert).
Frequently asked questions
What is asset tracking?
Asset tracking is the system of attaching GPS trackers to your assets and then monitoring them using online software and mobile apps. The GPS trackers fitted to assets can record activity such as movement, location, vibration, engine hours or a door opening — and then send this information to your GPS asset management software using mobile data (or another network service). Asset tracking is often an important part of GPS fleet management.
Why is asset tracking important to my business?
Asset tracking is a valuable tool to help you improve the maintenance, utilisation and security of your equipment. It’s also an important way to understand how assets are being used so you can allocate resources effectively.
The telemetry information collected by asset tracking devices can be used in a variety of ways. For example, usage data (e.g. engine hours) can be used to schedule preventive maintenance. Better care of assets means less downtime, and this is a key way to lower operating costs. Mobile workers can use location data to quickly find equipment, instead of renting or calling around. Geofences and movement alerts can be used to respond quickly to unauthorised use or theft. Asset location reports can help calculate work order costs or rental charges.
What assets should I be tracking?
You can track just about anything — it doesn’t need to only be high-value assets, it can be whatever is important to your business.
Types of assets typically tracked include:
- Vehicles, boats or motorbikes
- Trailers
- Rental equipment
- Off-highway vehicles (OHV) such as diggers, bulldozers and forklifts
- Tools and generators
- Shipping containers, freight, pallets or parcels
- IT equipment
GPS tracking devices can be connected to the asset’s power supply or use long-life batteries when attached to non-powered assets (e.g. tools).
Is asset tracking right for my business?
To decide if a GPS fleet tracking solution for your assets is the right decision for your business, consider the following questions:
- Is downtime (due to equipment theft or breakdown) a significant cost to your business?
- Do you need to share assets between teams?
- Is preventive maintenance of assets important?
- Would knowing the cost of your assets by job site (or customer) help with billing?
- Do you know if all your assets are being fully utilised?
- Is it important to know the location of stored goods at all times?
Asset tracking can help with a wide range of business problems, cut costs, save time and improve customer service.

How does asset tracking work?
A small electronic device (called a GPS tracker) is attached to an asset. It is self-powered (batteries) or connected to the asset’s power supply. When switched on, it starts transmitting data using a network (e.g. 4G, Bluetooth, WPLAN etc.), and this data is collected by a GPS asset management system.
There are a wide variety of options to suit different asset tracking requirements, including asset types, data types, check-in frequency, weather proofing and physical remoteness. Talk to us about what’s possible!
Is it expensive to track assets?
We have a range of affordable asset tracking plans to suit your budget, including payment plans.
It’s also important to keep in mind the potential savings by using asset tracking in your business, such as reducing asset downtime, finding equipment faster and minimising theft.
Is asset tracking good for small businesses?
One important way that asset tracking helps small businesses is through better utilisation. Purchasing more equipment is a significant expense — it can be more cost-effective to analyse current usage and see how assets could be better utilised.
Improving security against theft can also help to prevent costly downtime, and make sure your business stays productive.
Can I add more assets in the future?
Yes, additional assets can be added at any time. Talk to us about the best hardware options to help you effectively manage all your equipment across a mixed-fleet.
