Improve Job Planning – Optimize scheduling by knowing the exact location of equipment relative to job sites.
Analyze Asset Utilization – Use geofencing technology to track and optimize the usage of valuable equipment.

According to Fatima Howes, VP of Product at Azuga,

“Enhanced visibility in equipment tracking is a game-changer for fleet management, offering real-time insights into equipment location and usage. With clear visibility, fleet managers can respond quickly to operational needs, optimize resource allocation, and improve decision-making. This level of transparency not only reduces downtime and operational inefficiencies but also strengthens service reliability and enables more proactive maintenance, driving long-term performance and cost savings.”

How Azuga Fleet’s Equipment Tracking Works

Azuga’s next-generation tracking system utilizes GPS Asset Trackers integrated with Bluetooth Gateways to detect BLE-enabled location beacons. These low-energy, high-efficiency trackers offer a cost-effective and reliable solution for monitoring tools and small equipment.

Integrated Asset Trackers – Installed in fleet vehicles, trailers, job sites, or warehouses, these trackers continuously monitor the equipment within their range.
Durable Equipment Beacons – Featuring IP67-rated dust and water resistance, impact-proof durability, and long battery life, these beacons provide dependable tracking even in demanding environments.
Simple Self-Setup – Designed for user-friendly installation, Azuga’s beacons offer a fast and hassle-free setup process.
Optimal Detection Range – With a detection range of 40-60 feet, Azuga’s BLE beacons ensure comprehensive tracking coverage.

How Equipment Tracking Improves Operations

Azuga Fleet’s BLE equipment beacons operate with two primary statuses:

???? With – When equipment is detected within the 40-60 ft range of an asset tracker, the system confirms its presence and updates its location.
???? Dropped Off – If equipment moves out of range, the system marks its last known location and time of detection, helping recover lost or misplaced items.
