A closer look

Small Beacons, Readers You Already Own

Bluetooth beacons go on the tools too small for a full tracker, and the trackers already in the cab read them as the trucks come and go.

Small BLE beacons

Bluetooth Low Energy tags small enough to ride on a drill, a case, or a cord reel too small for a full tracker.

Mounts to any tool

Adhesive backs for flat surfaces and cases, zip-tie tags for handles, hoses, and cords.

Bluetooth only

Each beacon carries just a short-range Bluetooth radio, with nothing to power up or activate.

Last seen, not last guessed

Whichever truck reads it stamps the tag with a time and place on your map, beside your vehicles.

Tags picked for the gear

We match tag size, mount, and battery to each tool class before anything ships.

Zone Rules

The Moment a Tool Leaves the Zone

Pair a tag with a geofence and the exit fires an alert with the tool's name and last-seen location.

What Gets a Tag, What Gets a Tracker

Give These a Tag

Drills, saws, liftable generators, job boxes, test equipment, ladders, and cases.

Trailers and Containers

Unpowered equipment that lives outdoors belongs on a GO Anywhere.

Powered or Far-Flung Assets

High-value units deserve a GO Anywhere Plus.

On Your Map

Last Seen, Not Last Guessed

Every tagged tool reports a time and a place as readers pass, so the answer is a lookup, not a memory.

The beacons are third-party Geotab Marketplace tags, and the reader is the Bluetooth built into the tracker already in the cab. Talk through your operation and we will map it with you.

What it does

The Tracker in the Cab Reads the Tags Aboard

Tag the gear once, and the trackers already in your trucks do the tracking for you.

Priced to tag everything

Small Bluetooth beacons adhere or zip-tie to tools, cases, and gear too small for a full asset tracker.

Inventory on ignition

When a crew starts the truck, the tracker reads the tags aboard automatically.

The missing drill, flagged early

Separation and left-behind alerts flag the tool still at the site before the truck is twenty miles away.

Readers you already own

The vehicle trackers, cameras, and asset trackers already in your fleet do the reading.

The search is already answered

Your map shows where each tool was last seen.

On The Jobsite

The Gear Walks the Site. The Map Keeps Up.

Tags check in as crews and trucks move through the day - the compressor by the trench, the saws in the box, the generator that rode off with the second crew. One glance settles who has what.

The small stuff rides along

Your Trucks Become the Tracking Network

You do not put a cellular tracker on every drill. The fleet you already run does the reading.

01
A denser net, at no extra cost

The more trackers you run, the more places a tag can be read, with no add-on reader.

02
The count no one has to run

The truck reads the tags aboard at ignition, so no one signs out gear by hand.

03
Found by the next truck

Every reader picks up every tag, so a tool riding off on another crew's truck still surfaces.

On Your Map

Every Tag Reports Through the Truck

Tools relay through the GO device in the cab, each with its own record.

Questions

Small Tool Tracking, in Plain Terms

How does it locate a tool?

Each tool carries a small Bluetooth beacon that is read by the trackers in your trucks, so your map shows a last-seen location beside your vehicles. Inventory scans automatically on ignition, with separation and left-behind alerts if something is missing.

Do the tags need their own data plan?

No. The Bluetooth tags talk to the tracker in the truck, which does the reporting. You pay for tags, not for another line of cellular service per drill.

Which of my devices can read the tags?

Any Next-Gen GO10 with its on-board Bluetooth, a GO Focus Plus or Pro camera, the Geotab Drive app on a phone, or a GO Anywhere Plus tracker acting as host. Most fleets already own their gateway network without knowing it.

Are the tags Geotab hardware?

The beacons are proven third-party Bluetooth tags from Geotab Marketplace partners: LinkLabs in North America and ELA in EMEA. GPSFMS scopes the right tag for your gear so you do not have to pick a vendor.
