Linxup, a provider of GPS tracking, telematics and fleet management solutions, launched its new Tool Tracking feature. This new feature expands Linxup’s comprehensive tracking capabilities to include lightweight tools and equipment, helping field-based businesses reduce the risk of tools being lost, stolen or misplaced.
Streamlining operations
Managing a diverse array of vehicles, heavy equipment and smaller tools is essential to daily operations in many industries. However, lightweight tools are particularly vulnerable to theft, loss or being left behind during busy workdays. The new Tool Tracking feature addresses these challenges, offering a cost-effective solution, according to the company.
“Tool Tracking is a significant advancement for field-based businesses, especially in landscaping, restoration and construction,” says Drew Reynolds, CEO of Linxup. “By incorporating this feature into our vehicle tracking system, we’re enabling businesses to lower costs, improve team readiness and enhance customer satisfaction.”
Linxup Tool Tracking utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Tags that connect with the company’s vehicle trackers, providing real-time visibility of critical tools like drills, saws, weedeaters, leaf blowers and industrial fans. The tags communicate with the vehicle tracking unit, which regularly scans for their presence. The last known location of each tag is displayed on the live map, along with the associated vehicle, giving fleet managers precise, real-time insights into the whereabouts of their tools.
