Asset tracking isn’t optional anymore
When time and resources are tight, guessing isn’t a strategy. Here’s what you need to know to stay organised, reduce downtime, and keep your customers happy.
It’s easy to assume that only high-value equipment needs to be tracked. But in reality, the true cost of uncertainty often has little to do with the asset’s purchase price.
If you’re still managing assets with spreadsheets, you’re fighting tomorrow’s battles with yesterday’s tools. Your organisation – and your customers – deserve more.
Even low-cost assets can create big challenges when you lose visibility. Time spent searching for missing equipment, delays caused by inefficiency, compliance risks dueto missed inspections all add up. During the busy summer season, this impact can multiply quickly – leading to frustrated teams and unnecessary costs and risks.
The three questions every business should answer
Asset tracking helps answer three essential questions that keep many business owners awake at night:
Where are my assets?
How efficiently are they being used?
When is maintenance or inspection due?
One of our customers, an Asset Manager, summed it up clearly:
“Prior to tracking assets, I spent at least 1 hour each morning sorting out my equipment’s whereabouts and compliance status. Today I know at all times. That 1 hour now goes to actually running my business, providing me 5 hours a week of productive time back.”
A simple way to stay in control
This is why so many companies use the ABAX Locator – a straightforward, reliable way to keep track of assets in the field.
Here’s why:
Ultra-long battery life - Outlasts most tools it’s attached to.
No external power needed – Ideal for non-powered assets.
Easy installation – Done within a few minutes.
Visibility in one platform – All data is available in the ABAX web portal and mobile app.
Why asset visibility matters
Strategic asset tracking isn’t about micromanaging – it’s about removing uncertainty and creating peace of min. When you have clear records of your equipment, you can:
Reduce time spent searching for assets
Improve utilisation of your inventory
Avoid costly project delays
Keep compliance and maintenance on schedule
Reduce risks
The real question isn’t whether asset tracking is worth it. It’s how much longer you can afford to operate without it.
If you’d like to explore how the ABAX Locator can help you manage assets more efficiently this summer and beyond, I’m here to answer any questions.
