Tag iQ equipment tracker features

equipment tracking live location tracking

Live location updates

Traditional asset trackers lose signal in underground car parks, dense urban areas, and remote locations, creating blind spots where you don’t know where assets are. Tag iQ eliminates these gaps:

  • Live location updates
  • Uses iOS and Android networks
  • Works reliably in underground locations, dense cities, and remote areas where GPS fails
  • Complete journey history shows everywhere your asset has been
equipment tracking battery life

Long-lasting battery life

Many trackers need frequent battery replacements, creating management overhead and tracking gaps. Tag iQ eliminates this:

  • 3-year battery life means minimal maintenance
  • App shows remaining battery on each tracker so you can plan replacements
  • Assets stay continuously protected without constant battery changes
  • No surprise gaps in coverage when batteries die unexpectedly
equipment tracking tag iq custom geofencing

Geofencing movement alerts

Without visibility into asset movement, equipment walks off job sites without you knowing. Geofencing prevents this:

  • Draw virtual boundaries around job sites, storage areas, or designated locations
  • Get instant alerts the moment an asset moves outside the boundary
  • Know immediately if equipment is being taken without authorisation
  • Prevent theft before it happens instead of discovering loss after the fact
  • Track which assets moved, when, and where they went
equipment tracking tag iq easy setup

Easy setup

Complex setup delays deployment and wastes time. Tag iQ is ready in seconds:

  • Scan the QR code on the tracker—no pairing or complex configuration needed
  • Name the asset in your app so you know what you’re tracking
  • Attach it to equipment and start monitoring immediately
  • No installation required, no technical setup, no waiting
  • Start tracking within minutes of opening the box
equipment tracking secondary vehicle tracking

Secondary vehicle tracking

Thieves can disable visible trackers, leaving you without recovery data. Tag iQ is undetectable on Bluetooth and acts to safeguard your vehicles as a backup tracker:

  • Place one tracker visibly and another hidden as a backup
  • If your primary tracker is removed or disabled, Tag iQ keeps tracking
  • Thieves won’t know a second tracker exists
  • Discreet placement under seats or undercarriage keeps it undetectable
  • Ensures continuous visibility even if someone tries to disable tracking

FAQ

Equipment tracking FAQs

  • Why is equipment tracking important?

    Equipment theft, misplacement, and underutilisation are costly problems for any operation. Without tracking in place, teams often rely on manual logs to manage operationally critical assets. Tracking equipment gives you live visibility, allowing you to prevent unexpected losses, reduce downtime while searching for assets, and make smarter decisions about your fleet.
  • What equipment can I track?

    Tag iQ can track equipment ranging from plant and machinery to trailers, generators, power tools, portable equipment, containers, and any other movable equipment.
  • What should I consider when choosing equipment tracking software?

    The right equipment tracking software should easily fit into your operation’s current workflow. Look for trackers that are simple to deploy without specialist equipment or lengthy downtime that could cause costly disruptions. For assets that aren't powered, battery life is another important consideration, and Tag iQ trackers are designed to run for extended periods without frequent replacement. It's also worth considering scalability. The best solutions can scale with your operation without a significant increase in cost or business disruption.
  • Can plant and machinery trackers help reduce costs?

    Yes, and the savings can be significant. When you know exactly where your assets are, you can quickly identify equipment that's being moved without authorisation or going missing altogether. That visibility alone helps reduce unnecessary hire costs, prevent losses, and make smarter decisions about your operation. Tag iQ also supports more efficient allocation across sites. Instead of over-ordering equipment to compensate for uncertainty, your team can locate and redistribute what you already have. Over time, that adds up to lower operational costs and fewer capital expenditure decisions made in the dark.
