In today's dynamic world of logistics and transportation, businesses face mounting challenges. Rising customer expectations, heightened security concerns and the constant need to optimize efficiency demand a reliable solution for managing valuable assets. Introducing GO Anywhere, a versatile, rugged asset tracker engineered to provide seamless tracking and unparalleled peace of mind.

What is asset tracking?

Asset tracking is a system for monitoring the location and status of physical assets in real-time or near real-time. This is typically achieved through the use of asset tracking devices equipped with technologies like GPS, RFID and cellular or satellite networks, which allow businesses to keep track of their assets whether they are in transit, in storage or at a job site. By providing real-time visibility into asset location and movement, asset tracking helps businesses optimize operations, improve security, reduce theft and enhance overall efficiency.

What is the GO Anywhere asset tracker?

GO Anywhere is more than just a tracker; it's a comprehensive asset management solution. Whether you're tracking portable equipment, temporary installations, or high-value assets without a power source, GO Anywhere offers the flexibility and reliability you need. Its compact design, coupled with user-friendly installation, makes it adaptable to diverse environments and use cases.

How GO Anywhere can help fleets prevent theft, improve risk management and reduce insurance costs

By understanding where your assets are, when they move and when they might be in danger of theft, companies can significantly reduce risk and qualify for better insurance rates. GO Anywhere's adaptability supports risk management in a diverse range of applications. Here's a glimpse into how this versatile tracker can be utilized across various scenarios, optimizing asset visibility and management:

  • Portable equipment tracking: Ideal for generators, portable toilets, and temporary lighting. Its rugged design and versatile installation options make it perfect for assets frequently moved between job sites or events.
  • Intermittent use assets: Perfect for large construction tools, dumpsters, and rental equipment. User-configurable reporting allows tracking only during movement, conserving battery life while providing precise usage insights.
  • Seasonal or remote assets: Essential for farming equipment, outdoor signage, and remote monitoring stations. Extended battery life and off-grid functionality ensure continuous tracking even in remote or seasonal deployments.
  • Temporary installations: Track event fencing, promotional displays, and pop-up structures with ease. Quick installation and adaptability mean it can be deployed and retrieved easily, with accurate location tracking.
  • Protecting non-powered high-value assets: Securely track shipping containers, toolboxes, or small machinery. GO Anywhere offers reliable tracking without requiring a power source.
  • Trailers: An invaluable tool for tracking cargo trailers and shipping containers. GO Anywhere offers alternative mounting locations to prevent tampering, serves as a backup solution to powered and solar trackers, and provides easier installation.

Smarter tracking, anywhere: key features and benefits of GO Anywhere

GO Anywhere is your solution for monitoring what matters, ensuring nothing is ever lost or unaccounted for.

  • Seamless MyGeotab integration: Manage all your vehicles and assets from a single, unified platform. With advanced reporting, customizable dashboards, and automated alerts, you gain complete visibility and control over your operations. Create custom rules and notifications within MyGeotab based on GO Anywhere data, such as receiving alerts when an asset enters or exits a designated geofence or when unexpected movement is detected. Leverage pre-built reports and dashboards specifically designed for GO Anywhere to quickly access key metrics and gain valuable insights into asset utilization and trends.
  • Versatile tracking modes: Tailor your tracking strategy with customizable ping rates based on time intervals (e.g., every hour) or distance traveled (e.g., every 100 miles). Utilize both time-based and movement-based tracking modes to optimize data reporting frequency and gain time-sensitive insights. Movement-based tracking helps conserve battery life and reduce data costs by only reporting location updates when the asset is in motion.
  • Extended battery life: Rely on GO Anywhere's long-lasting battery, intelligent sleep mode, and energy-efficient design to ensure continuous tracking for up to 3-5 years, depending on use. GO Anywhere automatically enters sleep mode when stationary, significantly reducing power consumption and extending battery life. The battery health indicator in MyGeotab allows you to proactively monitor battery life and plan for replacements, preventing downtime.
  • Continuous improvement: Stay at the forefront of asset tracking technology with over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates and feature enhancements, ensuring your GO Anywhere remains up-to-date and optimized for peak performance.
  • Robust security: Protect your valuable assets with GO Anywhere's advanced security features, including data encryption using AES-256 encryption and authentication protocols like TLS 1.2. Unique device IDs prevent unauthorized access and ensure data integrity.
  • User-friendly design: Enjoy easy self-installation and a rugged, weather-resistant build (IP68/IP69K) that can withstand even the harshest environments, including protection against dust and water ingress. GO Anywhere's wide operating temperature range ensures reliable performance in extreme conditions.
