How Asset and Trailer Tracking Works

Crystal Ball’s asset and trailer trackers are small but durable, with an IP68-rated enclosure which allows them to withstand water, dust, and severe temperatures. Four mounting options (magnetic mount, straps, screws, or adhesive tape) allow you to easily install the tracker on your asset or trailer.

Once installed, the GPS tracker transmits location data once a day via a mobile network SIM card. You can access all reports and GPS data via web-based portal or mobile app.

The super-long battery life and smart sleeping mode mean that these devices can be used for up to three years, offering a long-term solution that prevents asset theft.

Improved Safety

By using an accurate tracker, you can help to ensure greater measures for your drivers and assets alike. The GPS system provides up-to-date, live tracking data allowing you to see driver behaviour in real time and identity and immediately address any unsafe driving. Alternatively, you can use journey playback to look at your driver’s history and in that, identify any issues that could be improved to raise overall safety levels.
