  Construction and field service companies operate in environments where mobility, complexity, and risk intersect. Heavy machinery moves between job sites, service vehicles travel long distances daily, and tools are frequently stored in unsecured or temporary locations. In this landscape, equipment theft and unexpected downtime are not rare disruptions—they are persistent operational threats. According to industry estimates, construction equipment theft costs businesses hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Even when stolen assets are recovered, the disruption caused by delays, insurance claims, and administrative work can significantly impact profitability. At the same time, downtime caused by misallocation, poor maintenance tracking, or underutilization adds hidden costs that erode margins over time. To address these challenges, many companies are adopting gps asset tracking technologies. A modern tracking system , powered by advanced connectivity and analytics, enables busi...

  Trailer theft and cargo claims are two problems that can drain time, money, and trust faster than most fleet owners expect. When a trailer disappears, the immediate loss is obvious. What often hurts just as much is the ripple effect. Missed deliveries, downtime while you source replacements, customer disputes, insurance delays, and internal confusion about who last had the unit. Cargo claims create a different kind of damage. Even when the freight is fine, disagreements about arrival times, route choices, harsh braking, or “we never received it” scenarios can turn into expensive back-and-forth. A practical way to reduce both risks is to treat visibility and proof as two separate needs that work best together. Visibility is knowing where assets are and when they move. Proof is having credible context when something goes wrong. That’s where a layered setup that combines trailer gps with a dash cam with gps can help. Many fleets also use gps trackers on powered vehicles so the who...
