Equipment and mobile asset tracking

Equipment & Mobile Asset Tracking Solutions

Gain visibility into the equipment and mobile assets your operation depends on. Collective Telematics helps you track heavy equipment, machinery, generators, compressors, powered assets, and mobile jobsite equipment with GPS location, utilization data, maintenance insights, and security alerts.

Whether your assets are moving between jobsites, sitting in a yard, or operating in remote locations, we help configure the right hardware, reporting, and alert setup so your team can protect equipment, improve utilization, and reduce downtime.

Included Solutions

  • Real-time and last-known GPS location
  • Engine hours and runtime reporting
  • Idle time and utilization insights
  • Maintenance and fault code alerts
  • Geofence entry and exit notifications
  • Theft prevention and recovery support

The Challenge

Equipment and mobile assets are expensive to own, operate, maintain, and replace. Without accurate tracking, it can be difficult to know where equipment is located, how often it is being used, when it needs service, or whether it is being used without authorization.

What We Do

Collective Telematics designs equipment tracking solutions that help you know where each asset is, where it has been, how long it has operated, and how it is being used. Track live location, review utilization, monitor engine hours, receive maintenance alerts, and create geofences around yards, jobsites, and restricted areas.

For powered equipment, tracking can include ignition activity, engine runtime, diagnostic data, fault code alerts, fuel-related data, and preventive maintenance reminders. For assets that do not have consistent power, we can help identify battery-powered, solar-powered, or ruggedized tracking options designed for field conditions.

These insights help your team reduce equipment downtime, avoid unnecessary rentals, improve job costing, prevent theft, and make better decisions about how assets are deployed across your operation.

Operator ID Benefits

  • Identify who is operating each asset
  • Associate usage with the correct operator
  • Reduce unauthorized equipment use
  • Improve utilization and activity reporting
  • Support job costing and accountability

Driver ID & Operator Accountability

Driver ID can also support equipment and mobile assets by showing who operated each piece of equipment, when it was used, and how it was utilized.

Identification options may include RFID cards, key fobs, PIN entry, or other methods depending on the equipment type and operational requirements.

Equipment Tracking FAQs

Equipment tracking can be used for excavators, skid steers, loaders, bulldozers, backhoes, generators, compressors, pumps, forklifts, agricultural equipment, oilfield equipment, and other powered or mobile assets.
