The advanced tracking system enables businesses to regularly track the location history of their valuable assets via their desktop or mobile, including machinery, trailers, equipment, shipping containers, and other high-value assets.
The service is available to Northgate customers and those of its Blakedale and FridgeXpress businesses. Blakedale in particular anticipates a healthy take up of the service as the traffic management industry traditionally operates lots of kit such as mobile traffic lights, which are left on site overnight and at weekends.
In addition, its ‘geofence’ capability allows businesses to set virtual boundaries at specific locations. The asset tracker has four scheduled check-in updates per day, and if an asset leaves the geofence zone, the customer will receive an alert during the next scheduled check-in with its exact location. In cases of theft, the tracker’s accurate GPS system enables customers to view the asset’s last known location.
Beyond security, the solution offers comprehensive reporting, helping businesses make informed decisions about the improved management of their resources.
Spencer Davi, Northgate UK sales & marketing director, said: “We understand how vital asset security is to our customers. This new tracking solution gives businesses the tools they need to safeguard their operations while maximising efficiency.”
