In December, we published an article about the Role of Telematics in Fleet Management and the Benefits of IoT Asset Tracking. We raised questions like; How can telematics help my business to increase efficiency and productivity? And Is there a way to enjoy the total visibility of my fleet and manage how my drivers perform? But what about assets? How can IoT be beneficial to asset management and your business?
What is Asset Tracking with IoT?
With IoT (Internet of Things) Asset tracking, you can ensure peace of mind over your assets. But unfortunately, the reality is that theft does happen. Whether it has happened to you or someone you know, we’ve all experienced it. Think of this scenario: A tradesman with a Ute full of tools.
There is a lot of investment sitting in the average Ute, often up to $30,000 in tools. How can you protect that investment? Asset tracking. Our IoT trackers are small and discreet. You can hide them in your toolbox and put them in the glove box and other inconspicuous places. By tracking your assets, you receive reliable updates throughout the day. When a theft occurs, the use of IoT asset trackers can recover the stolen asset or signal an emergency.
How can Netstar Australia help with your business?
