We’re excited to announce the launch of the Energy Saving Stack (ESS), a major enhancement to Device Manager that delivers up to twice the battery life and 100% more location updates for battery-powered asset tracking devices, without any hardware changes.
By reducing energy consumption in the field, ESS enables partners to extend deployments, increase data granularity, and minimize service disruptions, lowering total cost of ownership (TCO) and environmental impact. For IoT solution providers, it offers a practical way to achieve higher performance, longer revenue cycles, and a more seamless end-user experience.
“Energy efficiency is mission-critical in asset tracking, and our new Energy Saving Stack enhancement gives partners the power to do more – delivering up to double battery life, 100% more location updates, and faster recovery mode from the same trusted devices,” said Loic Barancourt, CEO of Digital Matter. “It’s a strategic upgrade that enables our partners to meet tougher contractual requirements, expand deployments with confidence, and reduce complexity across the board.”
Extending Device Life to Maximize ROI
Every time a battery dies in the field, it disrupts asset visibility — leading to missed shipments, idle equipment, and costly recovery efforts. By extending device life and minimizing maintenance, ESS helps partners keep solutions in the field longer with less manual intervention.
That means fewer site visits, fewer support tickets, and more time generating recurring revenue. At scale, these gains lower TCO and improve ROI across entire deployments. For end customers, it translates to fewer disruptions and a solution that performs reliably day after day, year after year.
ESS also improves responsiveness in Recovery Mode, the feature that enables devices to reconnect and update location after unexpected activity. By supporting more frequent asynchronous check-ins, ESS gives partners faster insights in critical moments without compromising battery life.
Network Advancements Deliver Real-World Efficiency Gains
ESS leverages advanced 5G cellular network standards to streamline communication during check-ins and location updates. This optimization significantly reduces energy use, delivering measurable efficiency gains in real-world deployments.
“ESS is part of a bigger effort to continuously evolve our platform – not just with new products, but by making the ones our partners already use even more powerful,” concluded Barancourt. “This is the latest step in our commitment to continuously strengthen the performance, reliability, and value of every solution we deliver.”
