FAQ - Questions & answers about
equipment control and tool tracking

NorthTracker has different solutions depending on whether you are tracking a tool or a machine. For tools we have a device called "Beacon" - a BLE puck that connects to a GPS or mobile phone. If you are tracking a machine, we recommend choosing a traditional GPS instead.

GPS-This technology does not require an internet connection, but instead uses satellites to find positions. However, to send the positions to your app, you need an internet connection!

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) cannot be tracked purely by position but can store information that is then scanned by a machine. Example access cards are often based on RFID or NFC technology.

QR-A QR code is a code you scan with your mobile phone or reader to receive information. For example, a QR code can be placed on a machine and then scanned by each employee who uses the machine. This way you can see who used the machine last.

NorthTracker's equipment control/tool tracking tags have a built-in battery that lasts up to 3 years. When the battery runs out, you need to replace the unit.

NorthTracker's Scout 2.0 GPS tracker has its own battery with a lifespan of up to 5 years. When the batteries run out, order new ones in the webshop.

The GPS signal is affected depending on the environment and the building material. For example, we have seen that tin roofs often cause problems in terms of correct GPS position.

If you have installed a logbook in all your company cars, you will be able to see who borrowed the tool last, and track where it was last seen. If the tool does not leave the construction site in a car, you will be able to track where the tool is - but not who borrowed it last.

NorthTracker's tool tracking records who last had the tool in their car, and where it was last seen.

By looking at the map view, you can see exactly where all the tools are, instantly.

Yes! By putting a NorthTracker Beacon on every piece of essential equipment and keeping an electronic logbook in your employees' cars, we can see where the equipment was last located. For example, this minimises lost construction ladders, trailers and more.

No, it won't. If the GPS tracker has been removed, tracking will not work. Therefore it is important to hide the device well.

Yes, and it requires that all employees also have an electronic logbook. This way we can see where the equipment has been and also its last position.

We currently have integration to some work order systems. Those we do not have integration to, you can always export CSV reports for smooth import. Contact the NorthTracker support to check if we have your business system.

Yes they can!

Yes! NorthTracker has an API, contact support for more info.

It all depends on how many devices you need and the number of users. Contact us at info@northtracker.com or 08-25 96 00 and we will develop a customised solution for you.

Every year, millions of dollars worth of equipment and tools are stolen and lost. By using NorthTracker anti-theft and equipment control, you limit the risk of expensive equipment going missing.

The cost is per device and number of users regardless of the size of the company.

By installing the NorthTracker Electronic Logbook in each vehicle and putting a NorthTracker Beacon on each important tool, you will be able to see where the tool was last located.

For small tools we recommend the NorthTracker Beacon and for larger machines we recommend a traditional GPS.

In order to track tools that are rented to external contractors, it is necessary that these contractors also use NorthTracker's electronic logbook. It is the logbook that is connected to the BLE puck (Beacon) and then we can get the latest position where the tool is located.
