Active Asset Tracking with GPS

GPS Asset Tracking Software

Add live GPS location to the assets you already manage in Pervidi. Track valuable outdoor and mobile equipment - trailers, generators, containers, excavators and high-value tools - on a real-time map and get alerted the moment something moves.

Real-Time Location, Built In

Add live location to the assets you already manage

Valuable equipment sits in yards, moves between sites and goes missing. GPS asset tracking adds active, real-time location to Pervidi asset management, so the same record that holds an asset's inspections and maintenance also shows exactly where it is right now.

Know where every asset is

See each tracked asset on a live map, with its latest position and status at a glance.

Deter and recover from theft

Get after-hours and unexpected-movement alerts, and locate assets quickly if they go missing.

See where it has been

Review each asset's location history over time, not just where it is right now.

One record, location included

Location lives alongside each asset's inspections, maintenance and compliance - not in a separate app.

How It Works

From tracker to dashboard

A rugged GPS device on the asset reports its position over the cellular network - no gateways, no site Wi-Fi - and Pervidi turns it into live location, history and alerts.

01

Attach the tracker

Fix a rugged, weatherproof GPS device to the asset. Battery-powered options suit trailers, containers and other non-powered equipment.

02

It reports over cellular

The device sends its position automatically over the mobile network, so assets stay visible anywhere with coverage.

03

See it in Pervidi

Location, status and position history appear on the live map and on the asset's own record, next to its inspections and maintenance.

04

Get alerted

Set movement alerts so the right people are notified when an asset moves unexpectedly or after hours.

Core Capabilities

Track, locate and account for your field assets

GPS asset tracking gives managers real-time visibility over where equipment is, where it has been and whether it is being used - all inside the platform they already run inspections and maintenance in.

  • Real-time location: View every tracked asset on a live map with its latest position and status.
  • Position history: Review where an asset has been over time, not just where it is now.
  • Movement and after-hours alerts: Be notified the moment an asset moves when it should not.
  • Utilization visibility: See which assets are active, idle or sitting unused so you can deploy them better.
What to Track

Built for the assets standard trackers miss

GPS asset tracking is designed for valuable equipment that moves, sits idle in the open or lacks any built-in tracking of its own - powered or not.

Outdoor and mobile equipment

Trailers, shipping and storage containers, generators, light towers, compressors, excavators and other yard equipment that moves between sites or sits in the open.

  • ✓ Rugged, weatherproof devices built for the field
  • ✓ Long battery life for non-powered assets
  • ✓ Cellular reporting - no site Wi-Fi or gateways needed

High-value tools and equipment

Expensive portable tools, instruments and cases that move between crews, sites and vehicles and are easy to misplace or lose track of.

  • ✓ Compact devices that mount discreetly
  • ✓ Know which crew or site currently holds an asset
  • ✓ Cut replacement costs from lost or unaccounted equipment
Use Cases

Where GPS tracking pays off

Field equipment theft runs into hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and recovery rates stay low. Beyond loss prevention, knowing where every asset is - and how it is being used - saves time, rentals and disputes.

Prevent and recover theftGet after-hours movement alerts on high-theft assets and locate them fast if they are taken.
Confirm assets are where they belongCheck locations before crews mobilize and spot equipment left on the wrong site.
Account for shared equipmentSee which crew or site currently holds each asset and cut losses from unaccounted equipment.
Improve utilization and billingSee idle versus in-use equipment to reduce over-renting and support accurate job costing.
Frequently Asked Questions

GPS asset tracking: frequently asked questions

What is GPS asset tracking software?

GPS asset tracking software uses connected GPS devices to show the real-time location of physical assets - like trailers, generators and containers - on a map. In Pervidi, that live location is part of asset management, so each asset's position sits alongside its inspection and maintenance history.

How does Pervidi GPS tracking work?

A rugged GPS device is attached to the asset and reports its position over the cellular network. That data appears in Pervidi as a live map view and on the asset's own record, so no site Wi-Fi or fixed gateway infrastructure is required.

What kinds of assets can I track?

Both powered and non-powered assets. Common examples include trailers, shipping and storage containers, generators, light towers, compressors and yard equipment outdoors, plus high-value portable tools and cases that move between crews and sites.

Does GPS tracking work with Pervidi Asset Management?

Yes. GPS tracking is integrated with Pervidi asset management. It adds an active, real-time layer of location to the assets you already track, so position, inspection history, maintenance and compliance all live on the same asset record rather than in a separate tracking system.

Will I be alerted if an asset moves?

Yes. You can set movement alerts so you are notified when a tracked asset moves unexpectedly or outside of expected hours, helping you respond to potential theft or unauthorized use quickly.

Do the trackers need wiring or power?

Not necessarily. Battery-powered devices with long battery life suit non-powered assets like trailers and containers, so no wiring is required. Because they report over the cellular network, there is no need for fixed readers or gateway infrastructure at each location.
