From vehicles and equipment to high-value assets, businesses across industries rely on GPS asset tracking to improve visibility, security, and efficiency.
GPS asset tracking is a system that uses Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to monitor and manage the location and movement of physical assets, such as vehicles, equipment, or containers, in real-time, offering enhanced security and operational efficiency.
Whether you’re in fleet management, construction, logistics, or agriculture, knowing where your assets are—and how they’re being used—helps reduce loss, optimize operations, and lower costs.
Asset trackers use GPS technology to monitor the real-time location and movement of assets such as equipment, vehicles, and valuable items. A compact GPS device is discreetly installed on the asset, allowing for covert tracking. These trackers receive signals from GPS satellites and transmit location data over cellular or LoRaWAN networks, enabling remote monitoring and improved asset security.
Devices can feature motion detection, adaptive tracking, and geofencing, ensuring efficient power management while providing accurate location updates. Whether for tracking vehicles/fleet management, construction equipment, or high-value shipments, these trackers offer a reliable solution to enhance security and operational efficiency.
GPS asset tracking protects, optimizes, and streamlines operations, ensuring better security, efficiency, and cost savings.

In the first 20 weeks of 2023, CargoNet reported over 900 theft and fraud incidents within the U.S. supply chain – a 41% increase from 2022.
By leveraging advanced GPS asset tracking solutions, logistics companies are significantly improving the security of their cargo shipments, deterring theft attempts, and responding swiftly in case of any unauthorized activities.
How GPS asset tracking devices help improve security and reduce theft:
Real-Time Location Monitoring: GPS trackers provide precise, real-time location updates, enabling logistics teams and law enforcement to monitor cargo at every step. In the event of unauthorized movement, trackers can pinpoint exact locations, accelerating recovery efforts.
Actionable Alerts and Notifications: Trackers can send instant alerts when assets are moved unexpectedly or tampered with. These alerts—delivered via email, SMS, or in-app notifications—enable rapid intervention and loss prevention.
As a result of COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of high-value aircraft parts was forced to leave critical assets unattended for several weeks in an uncontrolled environment. Due to high humidity levels, the critical aircraft parts corroded and were unusable, resulting in a substantial (hundreds of millions of dollars) financial loss for the company and its aviation partners.
To improve visibility in their supply chain, in 2021 the manufacturer selected Digital Matter’s Oyster Edge.to track and monitor the location and condition of thousands of their critical aircraft assets as they move globally through production, storage, and delivery.
By providing essential visibility of critical high-value assets in transit, the Oyster Edge allowed the manufacturer to authenticate the location of goods at any time, track speed of movement and arrival times, monitor storage conditions, and streamline the problematic movement of goods. Over time, this will save the manufacturer hundreds of millions of dollars in lost or damaged assets.
