ABAX

No new logins. No new training. Just more assets on your existing ABAX map.

Tool and asset tracking works inside the same ABAX dashboard and mobile app you already use for vehicle tracking. Your team already know how to use it.

  • Same dashboard Vehicles, machines, containers, and tools - all moving together on one map

  • Same app Your drivers already check vehicle logs in the ABAX app. Now tools and assets can be added too

  • Same reports Add asset data to the trip reports and utilisation stats you already rely on

  • Hardware included When you add asset tracking, all trackers and beacons are included - no separate equipment costs

You've got visibility on your vehicles. Here's what else you could solve:

Never lose track of your equipment again

Always know what's where

Tools move between sites, vans, and workers. Before you know it, that £200 drill is 'somewhere' and your team is stuck waiting. ABAX Locator gives you instant alerts when equipment is left behind or leaves a job site, so you can act before it's gone for good.

  • Geofence alerts when assets move outside defined areas

  • Smart Inventory keeps track of tools near each vehicle

  • Alerts when a vehicle drives away and a tool stays behind

  • Flag lost assets and get notified when they’re picked up again by any ABAX unit

Example: Your van leaves the site and 500 meters later ABAX notifies you that one of your tagged tools didn’t move with it. The team turns back before it’s gone for good.

"We would've lost half our roll cages by now"

Thurlow Nunn Distrigo had their fleet tracking sorted. But £150 roll cages kept vanishing from job sites, causing delivery delays and a steady drain on their budget.

The fix took minutes: tiny ABAX Locator trackers stuck on each cage, beacons in the vans they already had. Done.

What changed:

  • Full visibility of every piece of equipment, every location

  • Instant alerts when items are left behind

  • Zero losses since going live

  • Thousands saved in replacement costs

"It's a double whammy for us - we track the cages AND know exactly where the vans are." – Carl Smith, Warehouse & Logistics Manager

The best part? Everything appeared on the same ABAX map their drivers already checked daily. No new system to learn. No extra logins. Just more stuff showing up where it should be.

Two ways to track your assets

Choose based on what you need to track. Or use both - many customers do.

ABAX Worksite

Best for tracking: Machines, equipment, and containers


  • Track operating hours and use automatically

  • See real-time positions and history

  • Receive movement and tamper alerts

  • Ideal for excavators, compressors, and generators

Learn more about Worksite

ABAX Locator

Best for tracking: Tools, toolboxes, and smaller equipment


  • Connect automatically to nearby vehicles and machines

  • Ultra-long battery life (up to 6 years)

  • Smart Inventory alerts when items are left behind

  • Lightweight and discreet - won't get in the way

Not sure which fits your needs? Your Account Manager can recommend the best setup based on what you're already tracking.

Hardware is included with both solutions - no separate equipment costs.

Questions other ABAX customers asked before adding asset tracking

  • No upfront hardware charge. Your trackers are included with your asset tracking subscription, so there’s no separate hardware fee. You use the same ABAX login, dashboard, and app—no new tools to learn.

  • Time and money. On average, construction workers spend 38 hours a year just looking for tools. Basically, it helps you and the team get some of that time back. See the 38-hour breakdown here.

  • For ABAX Locators: literally minutes. They attach with screws, magnets, or heavy-duty adhesive depending on what you're tracking.

    For ABAX Worksite (for machines): slightly longer but still straightforward—usually 15-30 minutes per machine. Many customers do it themselves, or your account manager can recommend installation support if you prefer.

  • It's not! It's an add-on. It uses the same platform, but lets you see tools and machines in addition to your vehicles, giving you a complete picture.

  • Yes. Talk to your account manager about piloting with a small number of trackers. Many customers start with 5-10 high-value items or one team's equipment, see the results, then roll it out more widely. There's no requirement to track everything at once.

  • That's exactly how most customers start. You can be as selective as you want. Many begin by tracking their most expensive machines or the tools that go missing most often. You can always add more trackers later once you see the benefit. Start small, expand as needed.

  • The system tracks it automatically. Whether tools are in Van A on Monday and Van B on Tuesday, or moved from Site 1 to Site 2, you'll see the movement in real-time. You can even set up geofences and get alerts if equipment leaves a specific area or moves outside working hours.

  • It uses the power of your existing vehicle trackers! Your vans (and our entire global network of 350,000+ units) act as scanners. When a van is near a tagged tool, it automatically updates its location on your map.

You're already tracking your fleet. What about everything else?
