GPS-Buddy on tv show the New Economy
Data is transforming the way construction and infrastructure companies operate.
Smarter planning, less downtime, and more control over costs, safety, and sustainability — it all starts with insight.
Our COO Oscar van der Spruit recently discussed this in RTL Z’s program De Nieuwe Economie. In the interview, he explained how GPS-Buddy helps organizations use data and IoT technology to manage their fleet, equipment, and people more intelligently.
Smart Asset Management in Construction & Infrastructure
The construction and infrastructure sectors are under pressure. Tight deadlines, small margins, and growing demands for zero-emission and sustainable operations require smarter ways of working.
Yet many companies still struggle with visibility — especially when it comes to small assets. Heavy equipment and trucks are often tracked, but tools like generators, compactors, concrete mixers, or attachments can easily go off the radar.
And what you can’t see, you can’t manage efficiently.
With GPS-Buddy’s modular fleet and asset management platform, companies gain full control over all resources. From real-time vehicle tracking and route optimization to tachograph data, operating hours, and maintenance planning — everything is unified in one centralized system.
The result: less downtime, better utilization of assets, and lower operational costs.
RFID-Powered Asset Tags
For tracking non-powered assets, GPS-Buddy developed the Asset Tag — a compact, durable, and smart tracker using RFID technology.
These tags automatically communicate with vehicles equipped with our XT4 hardware, creating a real-time digital overview of all vehicles, tools, and machinery — no matter where they are.
This gives companies complete visibility and control across their entire operation.
In Practice: Van Werven Infra & Recycling
A great example comes from Van Werven, an infrastructure and recycling specialist. In the RTL Z interview, Adri Dekker, Technical Service Manager, explains how the company is digitizing its asset management process using GPS-Buddy’s RFID Asset Tags.
All small tools and components are now tracked digitally within a single system. The result: less searching, less downtime, and major efficiency gains in planning and maintenance.
Projects are completed faster, costs are reduced, and resources are deployed more effectively.
The Future of Asset Management
At GPS-Buddy, we believe data is the new fuel for the construction and infrastructure industry.
By connecting vehicles, machines, and people in one IoT ecosystem, we help organizations gain grip on everything that moves.
Together, we’re building a smarter, more sustainable, and more efficient future for the construction sector.
