Asset tracking, supply chain visibility and the GPS and BLE hardware behind them, written by the GPX team.
Verisk CargoNet put 2025 cargo theft losses at $725M and $273,990 per hit. See the 2026 hot spots, top targets and how to stop them.
The best BLE asset tracking systems give real-time location for tools, returnable containers and equipment, especially indoors where Bluetooth Low Energy leads. When choosing, weigh location accuracy, scalability, infrastructure requirements and how cleanly the system plugs into what you already
The best Geotab alternatives for asset-heavy fleets go beyond a vehicle-first feature set to track high-value equipment, trailers and unpowered assets. When choosing, look for real-time location, instant motion alerts and deeper security than a basic tracker, coverage for unpowered
The returnable packaging market is worth USD 128.9 billion. What drives its growth, and why tracking decides if reusable programs pay.
EPR compliance for returnable containers rests on proof of reuse. See how cycle counts and dwell data stand up to a PPWR audit.
The 2G and 3G shutdowns are finished. Confirm which trackers still report, then replace legacy units with LTE Cat-M1 or NB-IoT hardware.
The best project44 alternatives for enterprise supply chain visibility close the gaps one platform rarely covers, from fragmented data across disparate systems to the lack of a unified control tower. When choosing, compare integration depth, specialized features, data quality, carrier
The best manufacturing asset tracking platforms turn location data on equipment, work-in-progress and returnable transport items into operational decisions. When choosing, match the technology to the environment, since metal-dense floors, outdoor yards and in-transit goods need different networks such as
The best GPS trackers for dumpsters and roll-off containers carry their own battery for years, not months, because containers have no onboard power. Look for an IP67 or higher rugged housing, secure magnetic or bolt-down mounting, and GPS combined with
Small tool tracking answers two questions about every tool: who has it, and where it is. Custody systems answer who with barcode or QR check-in and check-out. Location systems answer where with Bluetooth (BLE) or GPS tags on a map.
