Tool Tracking - Never Lose Another Tool
Why Track Tools?
95% Fewer Lost and Stolen Tools with Btracking. Want to virtually eliminate missing tools?
Every contractor knows the feeling when tools can’t be found, get left behind, or are stolen. It’s costly and time consuming. That is where our tool tracking tags come in handy. Btracking takes tool tracking to the next level by integrating BLE into GPS trackers, and IoT tag locations into the tracking platform. Tag Tracking from $0.89/month.

Track Tools with BLE Tags
Small, inexpensive BLE (bluetooth low energy) tags can be attached to tools and portable equipment. These tags are powered by a watch-type battery that continuously beams the tag ID about 250 ft, for several years. And because BLE tags don’t have a GPS or cell modem, you’re not paying for a separate platform subscription.
When your BLE-enabled GPS tracker moves within range of a tag, it transmits the tag ID (and thus the tool ID) to your platform. When it moves out of range, for example when a tool is dropped off, or left behind, the tag’s last location is continuously displayed and you and your driver receives notice. Off-vehicle tools can be located using a BLE locator app on your phone.
Track Tools with GPS Battery Trackers
BLE tags are great for tracking where tools get dropped off and which vehicle they’re on, but BLE tags don’t display real time tool locations once the BLE tag is out of range (approx 250 ft) of a GPS tracker in the vehicle or the warehouse. To track tool locations in real time with GPS, our Mini Battery GPS Tracker is ideal. See our Tracking Portable Equipment page for details.
