Track your valuable assets with Webfleet asset tracking

Asset tracking and asset management are both important aspects of fleet operations, although they serve different purposes. Asset Tracking refers to the process of monitoring an asset's location and current status, while asset management involves the strategic planning and decision making surrounding the entire lifecycle of an asset. Effective tracking helps improve asset management by providing accurate, updated information about an asset's location and usage. This information helps fleet operators make informed decisions about maintenance, utilisation and replacement.

Your organisation's assets may include a variety of tools, equipment, vehicles and IT systems. Assets of high value should be monitored and tracked, as damage or theft can be costly and disruptive to your operations. With Webfleet, you can keep them in good working order with maintenance notifications and prevent theft via geofencing alerts.

A wide range of industries can benefit from asset tracking. Construction can keep track of equipment and heavy machinery across sites. Transport and professional services companies can keep track of trailers alongside trucks, and manage how they are utilised.

Healthcare providers can keep track of medical equipment, and educational institutions can use it for laboratory equipment to ensure it stays on campus.

If you have complete visibility over your assets, you can achieve two goals: save time and money. You can gain valuable insights into how they are used (who, when, where, how) maintenance schedules, remaining operational lifespan,and theft prevention. All this invaluable data can be used to improve your operation and support decision-­making, enhancing efficiency and maximising asset utilisation.

There is a range of methods to track assets either digitally or manually. Some companies prefer pen and paper while others prefer to use Excel. However, the most effective and efficient way to monitor and track the utilisation of your company assets is with asset tracking software. Some asset tracking solutions offer mobile applications and scannable tags. Mobile applications allow you to easily track remotely, on or off-site. The tags help to identify assets and directly connect to their information in the database. There are many options for tags including barcodes, QR codes and RFID tags. RFID tags allow fleet managers to identify drivers and which vehicles they use.

Asset tracking software uses GPS to determine the position of assets. It connects the location of your assets with software that collects data. Some features include geofencing, which uses GPS to define geographical boundaries. This is an important feature that can protect your assets from theft and unauthorised usage. Further, track and trace features can determine not only the current location but also the historical locations of assets, which is useful for asset management and improving the utilisation.

Webfleet Asset Tracking gives fleet managers total visibility over trailers and powered assets on a straight­forward interface. Maintain your assets' security, value and effectiveness with accurate GPS positioning, utilisation reporting, maintenance notifications and much more.

Asset tracking is key to maintaining your assets' security and value, while reducing admin­is­trative burden and eliminating tedious paperwork. Combined with Webfleet telematics, Asset Tracking monitors where your assets are, how they're being used, and is vital to your efficiency and profitability of your fleet.
