Independent RTLS, RFID & Location Intelligence advisory.
We help industrial, healthcare and logistics teams see exactly where their assets, inventory and people are in real time — and choose, fix, and scale the RTLS, RFID and IoT systems that get them there. Vendor-neutral, with no reseller margin and no platform to push.
Sectors we serve
Independent, vendor-neutral RTLS, RFID & IoT advisory — 20 years inside the IoT track-and-trace industry, with no hardware to sell.
We start with the outcome, not the radio.
In plain terms: we help companies choose and deploy the right RTLS or RFID system — without being pushed by hardware vendors.
Most advisors lead with one technology. We lead with the problem you need solved — then choose from the whole stack: RFID (fixed and mobile), RTLS (UWB, BLE, GPS), IoT sensors, AI and the software that ties it into your business. Vendor-neutral, technology-agnostic, outcome-led.
Four ways teams bring us in.
Wherever you are — choosing, building, fixing or running an asset-tracking programme — you get one independent team with no hardware to sell.
Choose the right system
Independent advice on which technology and which vendor fit your use case — with an ROI case that proves it pays back.
Technology & vendor selection →Design & build it
From solution architecture to wiring location data into your WMS, ERP, EMR or MES — built to scale across sites, not just pass a pilot.
Build & integration →Rescue a stalled programme
A late, over-budget or underperforming rollout, triaged by an independent team — honest diagnosis, a recovery plan, and hands-on delivery to get it back on track.
Programme rescue →Run & improve it
Keep the system accurate, adopted and improving — managed monitoring and optimisation, plus training so your team can run it after we leave.
Managed services →What well-run RTLS & RFID programmes deliver.
The kinds of results RTLS, RFID and IoT programmes are scoped to deliver across industries. Figures are representative ranges from well-run deployments — your numbers depend on use case, environment and execution.
Inventory accuracy after RFID in retail, warehousing and manufacturing — fewer errors, write-offs and reconciliation effort.
Cycle-count time in warehouses using RFID — bulk reads replace manual barcode counting.
Out-of-stocks in retail and distribution — item-level RFID sharpens replenishment and shelf visibility.
Asset search time in hospitals, factories and airports — RTLS surfaces pumps, forklifts, carts and tooling.
WIP visibility in automotive and manufacturing — RFID and UWB track totes, parts and subassemblies.
Typical ROI on strong RTLS & location-intelligence programmes — from labour, shrinkage, uptime, safety and utilisation gains.
One programme. Every stakeholder gets a straight answer.
RTLS touches the boardroom, the budget, the integration layer and the floor. Pick the lens that fits you.
Outcomes and de-risked delivery
The business case, the payback and the proof that this ships — not another stalled pilot. Board-ready numbers, gate-governed risk.
Cost, payback and procurement you can defend
Indicative fees up front, vendor-neutral selection with no reseller margin, and deployment certainty across sites.
Accuracy, architecture and clean integration
The right radio for the physics, an architecture that scales, and integration into your WMS, ERP, EMR or MES that actually holds.
Tools your team will actually use
Workflows that fit how the floor really works — faster searches, fewer missed steps, safety that helps rather than nags.
Watch a tagged asset move. See where it spends time.
This is what location tracking actually looks like in your operation. Switch the environment (warehouse, hospital, plant, construction). Add 50 more assets. Slide accuracy from basic to precision. The red zones are bottlenecks you can fix.
A tagged asset (forklift, infusion pump, worker) moving through your facility in real time.
Cool zones = passed through quickly. Red zones = bottlenecks where time and money are lost.
Every move feeds your existing systems (WMS, ERP, EMR) so dashboards and decisions update automatically.
Simulated data — real systems produce the same kind of event stream. Open the full visualiser with architecture notes →
From a moving dot to a decision — automatically.
A position on its own is just an x, a y and a timestamp. An AI model trained on your live location stream turns it into something you can act on —
predicting congestion before it happens, flagging anomalies and safety events in real time, optimising routes, and triggering actions in your WMS, MES or EMR.

Founder-led. Vendor-neutral. Both sides of the table.
TRACIO is a founder-led independent advisory with global delivery experience.
Our founder has worked inside the major RFID and RTLS localization vendors and delivered deployments worldwide —
so you get both perspectives in one room: the vendor-neutral advisor on your side, and the insider who knows exactly how the vendors price, pitch and deliver. That is the playbook from the other side of the table —
what to watch for, and the right questions to ask before you sign.
For specialist delivery we draw on vetted engineers, integrators and domain experts — with no vendor commissions and no resale obligations.
Beyond X & Y coordinates.
Most RTLS vendors stop at a moving dot on a map. TRACIO treats position events as raw telemetry — then engineers the analytics, rules, and integration layer that converts them into the OEE uplift, throughput improvement, or compliance signal your CFO actually measures.
Telemetry → structured event streams
TDoA, AoA, RSSI, and dwell events normalised across vendors and time-aligned with SAP, Oracle, Epic, Cerner, Manhattan, Blue Yonder, ServiceNow, and bespoke MES platforms.
Operational KPIs mapped to your P&L
OEE, first-pass yield, takt time, bed turn, length-of-stay, dock dwell, perfect-order rate, SLA compliance — mapped to the metrics your board already reviews.
Closed-loop automation & alerting
Rules engines triggering ServiceNow incidents, CMMS work orders, nurse-call escalations, andon, and MES interlocks. Location data driving production, not just observation.
Digital twin & predictive analytics
Spatial event data structured for digital-twin platforms (Azure Digital Twins, Siemens Xcelerator, NVIDIA Omniverse). Simulation, what-if modelling, and ML-driven prediction on real movement history.
Full-lifecycle delivery, board-room to shop floor.
From the executive business case to the quarterly performance audit twelve months after go-live.
Business case & roadmap
Discovery, use-case prioritisation, KPI tree construction, NPV / IRR / payback modelling, and multi-year roadmap aligned to corporate strategy.
Vendor-neutral evaluation
Comparative analysis across UWB, BLE 5.x AoA, RAIN RFID, active RFID, ultrasound, Wi-Fi RTT, SLAM, and vision — scored against your environment, accuracy budget, and TCO.

Why these programmes actually paid back.
Anonymised at our clients' request — full references available on request. Every figure below is the client's own measured result.
"We'd stalled twice on WIP tracking before TRACIO. They insisted the pilot run at full production load, not a demo lane — that's why it held up. WIP accuracy settled at 99.2% and we were still holding +6 OEE points six months after go-live."Operations Technology DirectorTier-1 automotive supplier · DACH
"They triaged a stalled UWB rollout in two weeks and were straight with us: the anchor density was the problem, not the vendor. Re-architected, re-tendered, live in 90 days. The board finally trusts the programme."CIOFortune 500 industrial group · programme recovery
"TRACIO scored fourteen vendors against our actual dock environment, not a spec sheet. We signed 22% under the frontrunner's first quote, and read accuracy is holding above 99%. The numbers were defensible because they came from our own pilot."Head of ProcurementEuropean 3PL · dock & yard programme
"They understood Epic integration as well as the BLE radio, so adoption actually stuck. Biomed stopped hunting for pumps — about 25 minutes back per nurse per shift — and rental spend fell over 30%. Designing around the workflow first is why it worked."VP, Clinical Engineering600-bed academic medical centre · NALA
"Item-level RFID took stock accuracy from the low 60s to 98%, and online-order cancellations dropped once inventory was finally true. TRACIO kept us vendor-neutral and rolled it out cluster by cluster, so there was never a big-bang risk."Omnichannel DirectorEuropean fashion retailer
"As a hardware vendor we hired TRACIO for EU market entry. They were candid about where our product genuinely won and where it didn't — that honesty is exactly what opened doors. Four serious enterprise pilots in a quarter."CEORTLS hardware vendor · North America · GTM advisory
