Keep tabs on your most valuable tools with small,
ultra-durable battery-powered tool tracking devices.
GPS tool tracking utilizes compact, ultra-durable battery-powered tracking devices and Bluetooth tags to monitor the real-time location, usage, and security of power tools and equipment across multiple job sites.
Designed for covert installation, these concealable trackers help protect valuable tools of all shapes and sizes through automated movement alerts, location and trip history, and dedicated theft recovery modes.
By providing visibility into non-powered assets, businesses can optimize tool allocation, improve preventative maintenance strategies, and significantly reduce costs associated with theft and loss. With flexible configuration and "deploy once" battery life, our small tool tracking devices ensure you get critical location and run-hour data exactly when you need it.
Financially, it may not make sense to equip all small assets with GPS tracking devices for tools. We also offer Bluetooth gateway devices featuring concurrent GNSS and Bluetooth Low Energy to provide location and detection of nearby Bluetooth signals to track your tools. Third-party tags and sensors can then be placed on lower-value assets such as pallets, tools, and small equipment, providing approximate location and sensor monitoring data.

GPS tool tracking utilizes compact, ultra-durable battery-powered tracking devices and Bluetooth tags to monitor the real-time location, usage, and security of power tools and equipment. These devices communicate via Cellular, LoRaWAN, or Bluetooth networks to log location history, capture run hours, and send automated theft alerts to fleet managers.
Because power tools have limited surface area, ultra-compact devices are required. The Yabby Edge Cellular is ideal for high-value power tools due to its small, concealable footprint. For tracking high volumes of smaller or lower-value tools, DM Dot Bluetooth® Tags paired with a Bluetooth Gateway provide a highly cost-effective alternative.
Our tracking devices feature versatile, rugged housings designed for covert installation. They can be securely mounted to tools and toolboxes using heavy-duty industrial adhesives, standard screws, bolts, cable ties, or rivets without interfering with the tool’s operation.
Digital Matter battery-powered devices are engineered for 'deploy once' performance. Depending on the reporting frequency and network technology, devices like the Yabby and Barra ranges can operate for multiple years on standard, user-replaceable Alkaline or Lithium batteries.
Yes. You can configure virtual boundaries (geofences) around job sites or depots to receive instant movement alerts if a tool leaves the area. In the event of theft, devices can be remotely switched to Recovery Mode, providing high-frequency, real-time tracking to aid in retrieval.
Our devices feature smart adaptive tracking and integrated accelerometers that detect vibration and movement. This allows the system to accurately log run hours based on actual tool usage, enabling teams to schedule preventative maintenance based on operating time rather than calendar days.
