Trailer GPS Tracker | Battery Powered ‘Deploy Once’ Tracking Devices

‘Deploy Once’ Battery Powered Trailer GPS Tracking Devices

Trailer tracking at scale requires hardware that is reliable, rugged, and built to last. Digital Matter trailer GPS trackers are engineered with advanced low power design to deliver years of performance on a single deployment. Ultra rugged housings protect against harsh transport conditions, while flexible reporting ensures dependable data without draining battery life.

As an enterprise-ready solution, our trailer GPS tracking devices scale seamlessly from a handful of assets to thousands, integrating with existing IoT, supply chain, or telematics platforms to improve fleet utilization, enhance security, and reduce operational overhead.

GPS Trailer Tracking Device Use Cases

Improve Trailer Visibility

Trailer GPS trackers deliver accurate location and movement history, giving operators full visibility of trailers whether on the road, at a customer site, or sitting idle.

Reduce Theft and Recover Trailers Faster

Activate real-time tracking for trailer retrieval by switching to Recovery Mode in case of loss or theft.

Improve Yard Management

Locate trailers within busy yards or depots, reducing time spent searching and streamlining dispatch.

Trailer Pool Management

For pooled or leased trailers, GPS tracking devices reduce losses, speed up returns, and ensure assets are shared and redeployed efficiently across multiple operators or sites.

Reduce Idle Assets

Identify underused trailers and redeploy them faster with GPS tracking data on usage and downtime.

Cut Dwell and Detention Costs

Monitor how long trailers spend at customer sites or depots. Tracking data highlights delays and helps reduce costly detention charges while improving turnaround times.

Advanced Geofencing

Create custom geofences and receive alerts when assets enter or leave specific locations. Geofences can also be downloaded directly to devices for enhanced location-based behaviors.

Simplify Auditing and Compliance

Trailer GPS tracking devices maintain a digital log of movements and location history, making it easier to verify asset usage, support audits, and reduce manual paperwork.

Enhance Your Trailer Tracking Solution with Bluetooth®

Digital Matter trailer GPS trackers can act as Bluetooth® gateways, connecting with low-cost Bluetooth tags and sensors placed on or inside trailers. This enables condition monitoring for cargo and added visibility of smaller assets moving with trailers.

With Bluetooth tags, operators can monitor temperature, humidity, impact, and other key conditions to protect sensitive loads such as food or pharmaceuticals. Cargo and equipment inside trailers can also be tagged, making it easy to confirm which items are in transit and where they are at any time.

By combining long-life ‘deploy once’ trailer GPS trackers with Bluetooth technology, Digital Matter provides an affordable, scalable way to extend trailer tracking beyond the trailer itself, improving visibility, reducing losses, and safeguarding cargo quality.
