Case study

J&M Contracting recovers $50,000 backhoe quickly

Black quotes

On a Saturday morning, I got an alert that the backhoe was being utilized.... I got in my truck and drove up there. While I was driving, I was talking with the Anderson County Sheriff Department. So I got there. I went right to the backhoe. It was eight tenths of a mile from the job site.

Frequently asked questions


What is asset tracking software?

Similar to vehicle tracking, an asset tracking software is designed to help you streamline managing and monitoring your powered and non-powered equipment with near real-time asset data. You can easily locate your physical assets, like trailers, heavy equipment and more, on a live map alongside your vehicles.

How does GPS asset tracking work?

Just install a small GPS asset tracking device on your powered or non-powered assets to quickly locate them and get better visibility into your valuable equipment. With asset information, you can track engine hours and status, off-road mileage for IFTA reporting, power takeoff (PTO), idle time, fuel consumption and maintenance.

Why is it important to track assets with GPS software?

GPS asset management software can help you improve utilization, reduce fuel consumption and decrease downtime. If a valuable asset is lost or stolen, you can easily see where it’s located to help recover it. Plus, knowing asset information, like availability, can help reduce costs for unnecessary equipment rentals and improve job bidding.

What features do the best GPS asset tracking software provide?

The best GPS asset management solutions tracks both powered and non-powered assets, provides an easy-to-use, intuitive platform with mobile apps and integrates asset data with your existing technology, like vehicle tracking, billing and maintenance systems. They provide additional features and functionality, such as a long battery life1, a configurable ping rate that you can change yourself and reporting for location, geofencing and movement plotting.

Lastly, look for a provider who is reliable, accommodating, trusted in the industry and will support an asset’s entire lifecycle.

How do I monitor the health of my GPS asset tracking devices?

Our GPS asset tracking solution includes reporting that provides the current battery level, location and last check-in time and date for both powered and non-powered GPS asset tracking devices.

Which powered assets can I track with Verizon Connect's GPS asset tracking software?

Our GPS asset management software can help you manage your valuable heavy equipment and construction assets that have a power source. Here are some examples:

How does installation/implementation work?

How you install fleet technology can impact its success. While self-installation is less expensive, it comes with risks, particularly if you don’t have the right technical staff to complete installation effectively. Professional installation comes at an extra cost, but it’s often offset by faster deployment and a shorter path to ROI. Expert-led installs help ensure proper configuration, safe setup and quicker access to the benefits of your investment.
