Managed services fail when “uptime” is green and the business KPI is ignored.
KPI in the contract
Muster time, miss-reads, or search minutes, not only gateway availability.
Change windows
Firmware and map changes need OT-friendly windows. Surprise updates destroy trust.
Exit hygiene
Credentials, diagrams and spares lists stay yours. Demand an exit pack from day one.
Reactive RTLS management is the expensive option.
Waiting for users to report a problem costs far more than preventing it. These are the four failure patterns we see in deployments left to look after themselves.
Accuracy drifts silently
Facility changes, anchor drift, and an evolving RF environment quietly erode accuracy until users notice and stop trusting the system. By then the trust is hard to win back.
Unplanned infrastructure failures
Anchor faults, network issues, and tag-battery depletion discovered reactively turn into operational disruption. On the day you can least afford it.
Thin internal expertise
IT and operations teams rarely have the specialist location-systems knowledge (or the spare time) to optimise, troubleshoot, and maintain RTLS effectively alongside the day job.
ROI plateaus
Without continuous performance analysis you never reach the full return the business case promised. The system works, but it never gets better, or it slowly gets worse.
Six workstreams that keep the system at peak.
Reviews, maintenance planning, optimisation advice and supplier oversight, scaled to the level of cover you need.
A regular look at the whole system
Regular reviews of accuracy, uptime and data flow across anchors, tags and integrations, using the reports and access your system and suppliers provide. We flag hardware, network and battery issues early, so your team can act before users notice.
Fix it before it bites
A maintenance plan for anchors, tags and network components: calibration, firmware and update cycles, planned replacements and integration-stability checks. Your team or supplier carries out the work in change windows that OT will accept, and we check it was done.
Better, not just maintained
Regular analysis of performance data, with recommendations on system tuning, zone and geofence refinement, capacity and scalability, and new use cases that get more from what you already own.
Your team runs it, we back them up
Direct access to a specialist for triage and troubleshooting advice, configuration and workflow changes, integration updates, and coordination with hardware suppliers when a swap is needed. TRACIO does not operate client production systems, and has no access to your systems unless you grant it for a project.
Proof the system is paying off
Monthly and quarterly reports on accuracy, uptime and system health, a record of maintenance and optimisation activity, and ROI tracking for cost savings and operational gains, written for both technical and management readers.
Ready for audit
Audit trails and change records kept up to date, validation documentation for regulated environments, and advice on security updates, system hardening and privacy-aligned data handling.
Three levels of cover. Pick your risk tolerance.
Service levels matched to how critical the system is. Every level is independent, covers your whole deployment and leaves the day-to-day running with your team.

- Monthly accuracy review against agreed KPIs
- Monthly tuning recommendations for your team
- Integration-health reviews
- Priority phone & email support, 8-hour response
- Quarterly business review with recommendations
Enterprise
Close oversight for estates with several sites or suppliers.
- Everything in Professional
- Supplier governance across every site and supplier
- Change-window planning with your OT team
- Priority support in business hours
- Compliance documentation & audit support
- Custom SLA & performance commitments
The independent team on your side after go-live.
Genuinely independent
We have no hardware or platform to sell, so every decision (tune, replace, renegotiate) serves your outcome, not a product roadmap.
Across the lifecycle
Advise, specify, oversee, review. We can pick the system up at any stage and help your team take it to steady-state performance, while your team and suppliers keep running it.
Specialist expertise
Deep, hands-on RTLS, RFID, and IoT knowledge across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and more, applied to your live deployment every month.
How SI managed care and LaaS differ from independent managed care.
SI managed tiers (often Essential / Professional / Enterprise) monitor anchors, tags, accuracy drift, integrations, and offer 48-hour to 2-hour response bands. Valuable when the SI also built the system, and when you accept them as the one supplier accountable for everything.
Location-as-a-Service bundles hardware + run. Predictable cost; exit and multi-supplier governance are harder.
Independent managed care (TRACIO) assumes you may keep multiple OEMs. We review business KPIs and RF health, plan preventive maintenance windows that OT will accept, and hold each supplier to their SLA on your behalf. Credentials, maps, and exit packs stay yours. We do not need to sell you replacement anchors to stay relevant.
If a competitor’s managed page and ours look similar on paper, compare incentives, not the bullet list. Detail: advisor vs integrator.
Managed locating care vs supplier support contracts and NOC outsourcing.
Supplier support contracts measure ticket response and software uptime. Classic NOC/MSP outsourcing measures network availability. Neither owns the business KPI the locating system was bought for: dock read-rate, bed-turn time, tool custody, WIP dwell, cold-chain excursion closure. SI “managed services” often mean break/fix on the equipment they installed, with the same commercial bias as the original sale.
What programmes get wrong: celebrating green uptime while accuracy drifted after a layout change, tag batteries aged out, or a firmware push altered timing. Or buying 24/7 monitoring without a monthly accuracy and adoption review that operations will actually attend.
TRACIO managed services keep the locating layer accurate after go-live: RF health, accuracy sampling, tag lifecycle, integration watch, and optimisation backlog, without reselling anchors or licences. Levels of cover match risk tolerance, not a product SKU.
Managed RTLS services, answered.
What is included in TRACIO managed RTLS services and locating system support?
Regular health and accuracy reviews, preventive maintenance planning, optimisation advice, supplier and SLA management, ROI and uptime reporting, and compliance support.
Your team and your suppliers run the system day to day. TRACIO does not operate client production systems. You keep ownership of the hardware, the platform and your data.
How is this different from my supplier's support contract?
A supplier support contract covers that supplier's own product. TRACIO is Independent, so we look after the whole deployment end to end:
multiple suppliers, the integrations, the RF environment, and the business outcomes, and we hold each supplier to their SLA on your behalf.
Do you operate our system, or only advise?
No. We do not operate client production systems. Your team and your suppliers run the system, and TRACIO works alongside them as an independent adviser.
You can engage us for light-touch assurance, for proactive optimisation, or for close supplier oversight across several sites, including maintenance planning and change management.
Which technologies and suppliers do you support?
Any of them. We are hardware- and platform-agnostic and work across UWB, BLE, Wi-Fi, passive RFID, GPS/GNSS, and hybrid stacks, regardless of which supplier supplied the equipment.
What response times and reporting do we get?
Response times and cadence are set by the service level you choose, from scheduled reviews with monthly reporting up to monthly KPI reviews with priority support and a custom SLA.
Every level includes documented accuracy, uptime, and ROI reporting for both technical and management audiences.
When should we buy managed RTLS services for accuracy after go-live?
Typically once a deployment is live and the business depends on it, but internal teams lack the specialist time or expertise to keep it tuned. It is also common right after a rollout or a recovery, to protect the investment and stop accuracy drifting over time.
Can you help if our facility layout changes frequently?
Yes. Frequent facility change is one of the biggest causes of silent accuracy loss. Managed services include re-surveys, anchor and zone re-tuning, and geofence refinement so the system keeps pace with the physical environment.
