A Bluetooth beacon costs a fraction of a cellular tracker, so tagging hundreds of tools finally makes sense.

Beacons are picked up by your vehicles as they drive the route, so drivers never open an app or touch a thing.

Tagged tools show up in the same platform as your vehicles and equipment, all under one login.

Common Questions About Geotab Small Asset Tracking
What is Geotab small asset (Bluetooth) tracking?

It uses compact Bluetooth tags you attach to tools, toolboxes and small gear. Instead of each tag needing its own cellular plan, they report through your nearby Geotab fleet vehicles, so even low-cost items are worth tracking.

How do the tags report without their own cell connection?

Each tag is picked up by your Geotab-tracked fleet vehicles as they pass by, and the vehicle relays its location to your dashboard automatically. Drivers do nothing, and there's no separate data line per tag.

Do I need a hub or gateway to install?

No. There's no hub, gateway or wiring; you just attach a tag to a tool and it starts reporting through your vehicles. Setup takes seconds per item.

How does it stop tools from getting left behind?

You can link tools to a crew or truck and get an instant alert the moment something is left behind at a job or customer site, so it doesn't drive off without it.

How long do the tag batteries last?

The tags run on long-life batteries that keep reporting for years, so once a tool is tagged you rarely have to think about it again.

Is it cost-effective for inexpensive tools?

Yes. A Bluetooth tag costs a fraction of a cellular tracker, so it pays off the first time it saves you from replacing a lost drill or toolbox.
