Motive’s asset tracking system uses advanced technology to track the location and status of your assets in real time. 

  1. GPS tracking: Motive’s asset tracking devices are equipped with GPS receivers that continuously collect location data. This data is then transmitted to the Motive platform, so you can view and analyze it.
  2. Cellular location fallback (coming soon): Motive’s asset tracking devices cellular networks to triangulate the device’s location in the unlikely event that GPS is obstructed. This allows for real-time tracking of your assets, even in remote areas with limited GPS coverage.
  3. The Motive platform: Motive is a cloud-based software platform that stores and processes the location data collected from your asset tracking devices. You can view the location of your assets in real time, set up alerts for specific events, and generate reports on asset utilization and movement.
