Increased productivity and efficiency
Your employees can concentrate on their main task: building, repairing, assembling... Thanks to a permanent inventory of tools, both in the vehicle and in the warehouse, colleagues always have the tools they need for the job in hand. If they need a specific tool, they can quickly see where it is and ask a colleague to keep it for them.
The condition of tools is also automatically checked to avoid accidents and, above all, to comply with legislation and insurance agreements.
Asset optimization
Thanks to our intelligent sensor, operating hours can be recorded automatically, even for small equipment without internal batteries such as pumps, compressors, etc. This way, we know at all times whether the tool is being used intensively or not, and the appropriate measures can be taken based on accurate data: return to the workshop, faster maintenance,.... Here too, measuring is knowing!
And if you need to report on CO2 emissions on construction sites in the future, HeronTrack can already help. Based on actual usage, we provide a report on CO2 emissions per construction site for a given period.

Mobile application
We process tempered and laminated safety glass for a wide range of construction applications. HeronTrack has provided us with a great tool for managing our fleet of glass stillages, allowing us to know at the click of a button where a trestle has been dropped off and by whom. Our stillages are also protected against theft by in-app messages. Thanks to better management, we have reduced our annual purchases of new equipment by 50%! It also saves our logistics manager a lot of time!
How can I track my equipment on a daily basis with HeronTrack?
Whenever the sensor is in the vicinity of a smartphone, forklift or warehouse, its position is updated. Thanks to a map, you can see where the various tools are, on which jobsite, and who's using them.
Can HeronTrack integrate with my ERP or proprietary software?
Yes, if your software package is open to integrations via a RESTful API, we can give you access to our public API. Fully documented, it can be queried by your own staff with the support of our API department.
Does an SME need asset tracking software?
The need for such a solution depends less on the size of the company than on the complexity of its equipment fleet. An SME may benefit from using software if its equipment is shared among multiple teams, if it regularly wastes time searching for it, if it makes duplicate purchases, or if it has to manage numerous maintenance deadlines. The project can start on a small scale. It’s often enough to digitize the most critical assets, clarify responsibilities, and measure results. If the time spent searching for equipment, losses, and missed maintenance appointments decrease, the solution can be gradually expanded. Software is therefore not reserved for large corporations: above all, it must be tailored to the SME’s needs, budget, and work methods.
What are the benefits of GPS asset tracking?
GPS tracking is particularly useful for valuable assets that are moved outdoors, such as vehicles, machinery, trailers, or generators. It allows you to view their location, track their movements, and receive alerts when an asset leaves a defined area. It can speed up the search for equipment and improve the response to suspicious activity. GPS does, however, have its limitations. Its signal is less reliable indoors, the tracker requires power, and transmissions drain the battery. The cost isn’t justified for every small tool. A company often achieves better results by combining GPS for critical outdoor assets with QR codes or Bluetooth beacons for equipment used in close proximity.
What is the difference between asset management and inventory?
Inventory management primarily involves taking stock of the assets held by the company at a given point in time. It indicates the quantity and presence of equipment, but does not always document their movements or use between two counts. Asset management covers a broader scope. It tracks an asset throughout its entire lifecycle: acquisition, identification, assignment, use, maintenance, repair, transfer, and retirement. Asset tracking provides the location, status, and history data that make this management possible. An inventory can therefore be a step in asset management, but it does not replace it.
