Asset tracking, supply chain visibility and the GPS and BLE hardware behind them, written by the GPX team.
If you are reading this, you likely know the feeling: You have orders to fill, but you are not sure if the raw materials will arrive on time. Your customer is asking for a status update, and you are waiting
It’s funny how “where is my stuff?” has become the most important question in commerce. The technology we use to answer it has shifted from a luxury to a fundamental necessity. Finding a lost item has shifted from a convenience
Choosing the right GPS tracking device is less about “can it show a location?” and more about whether it gives your team control when something goes sideways—lost inventory, a silent truck, a high-value shipment that stops unexpectedly, or equipment that
If you’ve ever had a “where is it right now?” moment with a high-value tool, trailer, demo kit, or mobile inventory, you know the pain isn’t the tracking—it’s the gaps. In 2026, the best portable GPS tracker isn’t the one
Asset shrinkage isn’t just loss. It is profit erosion. Every misplaced or stolen piece of equipment cuts directly into your margins. Global asset shrinkage from theft, damage, and loss regularly exceeds 1.5 percent of total retail sales. That adds up
Modern operations depend on reliable connectivity. The newest tracking stickers and smart tags connect to nearby smartphones, gateways and cellular IoT networks, giving you continuous visibility as your assets move through warehouses, job sites and the field. These devices activate
I’ve implemented tracking at scale and learned this the hard way: visibility without context is noise. A beautiful map won’t reduce theft, schedule maintenance, or reconcile inventory drift by itself. The leaders who win use AI to turn signals into
Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking underpins much of today’s connected world. In 2024 the GPS tracking device market was valued at US$2.89 billion and is projected to grow to US$7.51 billion by 2033, driven by fleet telematics, AI-powered location services
RFID tracking limitations often create chilling blind spots in supply chain visibility that no business can afford. Where are your assets really located? Why do shipments sometimes vanish into the night, only to reappear at the warehouse dock without notice?
Short answer: A GPS tracker works out its own position from satellite signals, then sends that position over a cellular network (or through a nearby Bluetooth gateway) to a platform where you see it on a map. Business trackers such
