The Gear That Can't Take a GPS Unit
A trailer has no battery. Neither does a compactor plate, a light tower or a bundle of traffic boards. They still go missing, and they still need to be on the register. $11 per asset per month, no hardware to fit.
Half the Yard Is Invisible
Your tracking system understands vehicles. It does not understand the six trailers, the attachments, the generator or the toolboxes, because none of them have anywhere to draw power from. So those live on a spreadsheet, or in somebody's head.
- Nobody sure which site the float went to last week
- Attachments that move between crews with no record
- A spreadsheet that was last accurate in March
- Gear written off as lost because nobody could prove otherwise
- Insurance and finance schedules that no longer match reality
One Register for Everything You Own
Every asset gets a record, a location, a person responsible and a history, sitting on the same screen as the tracked vehicles.
- Assets recorded with location and assigned holder
- Movement history as gear shifts between sites and crews
- Photos and serial numbers against each item
- Service and inspection dates where they apply
- The same screen as your GPS-tracked vehicles
How It Works
No hardware, no install, no batteries to replace
Add the Asset
Name it, photograph it, record the serial. Trailer, attachment, generator, toolbox, whatever it is.
Say Where It Is and Who Has It
Assign it to a site, a crew or a vehicle. Update it when it moves, from a phone, in a few taps.
Ask the Register, Not the Crew
"Where is the float?" has an answer, and a history showing how it got there and who moved it.
What the Register Holds
Enough to settle an argument, satisfy an insurer, or find the thing
Location and Holder
Which site it is on and who is responsible for it, updated as it moves.
Movement History
Where it has been and when it shifted. The audit trail that a spreadsheet never keeps.
Photos and Serials
Identifying detail attached to the record, which is what police and insurers ask for first.
Inspection Dates
Test and tag, service intervals, registration dates. The things that lapse quietly and cost you at the worst moment.
One Screen With the Vehicles
The register sits alongside your tracked fleet, so the whole yard is in one place rather than two systems.
No Hardware at All
Nothing to buy, fit, charge or replace. That is the whole point, and it is why it costs what it costs.
This Is Not GPS Tracking, and We Won't Sell It as Such
The asset register costs less than a tracked vehicle because it does less. Being clear about that is the only way the price makes sense.
An asset on the register does not have a GPS unit and does not report its own position. It knows where it is because a person told the system, the same way a good paper register works, except it is current, searchable, photographed and in everyone's pocket.
If you need to open a map and see where something is right now, that is GPS tracking, it needs a powered unit, and it is $22 per vehicle per month plus $285 for the hardware. Do not let anyone, including us, tell you that $11 buys live tracking.
- $11 per asset per month. Register, location, holder, history, photos. Exc. GST, no hardware, no install.
- $22 per vehicle per month. Live GPS tracking updating every 5 seconds, alerts, trip history. Plus $285 once for the unit.
- How most yards do it. Powered vehicles and machinery on GPS, everything else on the register, all on one screen.
Where the Register Earns Its Keep
The industries that own more unpowered gear than vehicles
Construction and civil
Floats, compactor plates, traffic boards and attachments moving between sites every week. See construction tracking.
Trades and services
Box trailers, generators and the toolboxes that walk off a job. See tracking for tradies.
Transport
Trailers, dollies and containers that spend their life detached from a prime mover. See heavy vehicle records.
