SOLUTION · Fleet & vehicles

Forklift & vehicle tracking.

Locate every forklift, measure how hard each one actually works, and capture impacts and near-misses — so you right-size the fleet, enforce safety, and stop paying for trucks that sit idle.

How it works

Forklift & vehicle tracking: how it works, and what it pays back.

The right radio for the job — chosen, never sold — mapped to your use case. That is what makes the ROI fast.

1 · Tag the fleet

Each truck gets a UWB/GPS tag and an impact/telematics sensor.

2 · Measure

Real utilisation, idle time, routes and impacts are captured per vehicle, live.

3 · Optimise & enforce

Right-size the fleet, schedule maintenance on real hours, and lock out after impacts.

Vendor-neutral

Which technology actually fits.

We have no hardware to sell, so the recommendation serves your outcome — not a price book.

UWB

Sub-metre indoor vehicle location.

GPS/GNSS

Outdoor yard and site.

Telematics

Impact & usage data.

Where it pays back

Industries this solution suits

In practice

Right-size the fleet on real hours.

A logistics site fits its trucks with location and impact sensors. Real utilisation shows several forklifts idle most of the shift, the fleet is trimmed, and impacts trigger operator lockout and a safety review.

Typically bought by: Warehouse operations, fleet / asset managers, EHS, finance.

USE CASES

Where this solution wins — examples by sector.

DC and warehouse fleets (logistics)

Manufacturing intralogistics (manufacturing)

Forklift movement data informs layout and process improvements.

Retail DC peak-season scaling (retail)

Peak-season forklift planning informed by real utilisation data.

Cold-storage operations (logistics)

Special-environment forklift health and utilisation.

Construction-equipment yard rentals (industrials)

Rental utilisation and theft prevention.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What can we learn from tracking forklifts?

Real-time location and utilisation, congestion hotspots, distance travelled, idle time, impact events, and whether you have too many or too few trucks for the work.

Does it also improve safety?

Yes - the same hardware supports speed zoning, pedestrian proximity warnings and impact logging, tying fleet efficiency and safety into one system.

What accuracy and technology fit?

BLE or Wi-Fi gives zone-level fleet visibility cheaply; UWB gives precise lane-level position where you need it. We pick per goal - utilisation rarely needs centimetres.

Will it integrate with our fleet-management or telematics?

Location and event data feed your fleet-management system and WMS via API, complementing OEM telematics with the site-wide indoor position they do not provide.

What is the payback?

Right-sizing the fleet by deferring leases, cutting search and travel time, and reducing impact damage typically pays back quickly across a multi-truck operation.
