Asset Tracking
Everything that moves, instantly visible
Real-time insight into all your assets with or without power supply
Whether you work with machines, containers, trailers, or small tools: you want to know where they are, when they’re being used, and if they’re ready for the next job. With asset tracking from GPS-Buddy, you see it all in one clear platform. Track assets with a unique combination of our GPS Gateways and RFID Asset Tags and avoid searching, downtime, and losses. This way, you work faster, smarter, and safer.

RFID: 1.5 km range
Our RFID tags make passive assets visible as soon as a vehicle or unit is nearby. Within a 1.5 km radius, you automatically get an overview of all available resources – without manual input.
Track assets without power supply
Much of your equipment has no battery, but with GPS-Buddy this is no issue. Our standalone asset trackers and smart RFID tags make every object visible – from containers and compactors to scaffolding, generators, and small tools. Thanks to the tens of thousands of GPS-Buddy gateways driving across the Netherlands every day, you benefit from a nationwide network that automatically registers every movement. This gives you real-time visibility of where your equipment is, how it’s being used, and when it’s being moved – even if by forklift or by hand. One platform, complete control, and maximum utilisation of all your assets.
Better protection against theft
Whether machines, vehicles, or small tools: you instantly see the current location, who is using it, and whether it’s operational. This reduces the risk of misuse or loss and ensures you always have control of your equipment. Learn more about how geofencing supports this.
Insight into all your data
Working with the CO₂ Performance Ladder, sustainability requirements, or strict audit obligations? GPS-Buddy provides the right data, automatic reports, and complete logging. This way, you easily comply with customer demands and regulations.
No loose lists, no Excel errors, no discussions. Everything is automatically recorded and linked to trips, projects, and users. This keeps everything organised and saves you valuable time.
Maintenance and inspections
Link operating hours or consumption to service intervals and inspections. GPS-Buddy automatically schedules the right times, maintains logbooks, and sends timely reminders. That way, you prevent surprises and downtime.

Insight into tool status
“When we rent out certain machines for a project and it is indicated that a machine will not be used on a given day, we place that machine in standby mode for that day. By running an I/O report in GPS-Buddy, we can see whether the machine has been used or not.”
– Marco Tieleman, Branch Manager
RFID tags
“With GPS-Buddy we now have a system that truly fits our reality. These RFID tags have a battery life of up to eight years, even if they were to transmit a location every single minute. No complicated installations, no maintenance concerns. These RFID tags are brilliant: no power required and very easy to attach. Simply a reliable system that does exactly what it should.” – Willem Post, Maritime Manager

What is asset tracking and how does GPS-Buddy work?
Asset tracking means digitally monitoring valuable business assets such as machines, tools, or trailers. With GPS-Buddy you always know where your assets are, who is using them, and in what condition they are. This prevents unnecessary searching, increases availability, and saves costs.
Is asset tracking suitable for equipment without a permanent power supply?
Absolutely. GPS-Buddy works with standalone trackers and tags that are ideal for tools, containers, and machines without their own power source.
How quickly can I start with asset tracking?
GPS-Buddy solutions are quick to install and immediately operational. Within a few days you’ll have real-time visibility into your entire equipment fleet.
Can I link my assets to projects or locations?
Yes, every object can be linked to a project, job, or cost center. Perfect for reporting, invoicing, and internal allocation.
How does asset tracking support maintenance planning?
By automatically logging usage data such as operating hours or mileage, you can schedule maintenance at exactly the right time. No unnecessary service intervals – maximum uptime.
What types of equipment can I track with GPS-Buddy?
From excavators, loaders, and containers to saw tables, compactors, and measuring devices – everything is visible, even without its own power supply.
What is the advantage of RFID compared to GPS?
RFID also makes passive assets visible. Tags automatically communicate with your vehicle, giving you precise visibility of everything within a 1.5 km range. Our RFID asset tags last up to 8 years without charging or maintenance. They are specially designed for use on equipment without a power source. Thanks to energy-efficient technology and a waterproof casing, they operate reliably for years, even under tough conditions. Grip without hassle.
