How does Motive’s GPS asset tracking system work?
Motive’s asset tracking system uses advanced technology to track the location and status of your assets in real time.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
What’s the best way to keep track of vehicles and equipment?
The best way to keep track of vehicles and equipment is to use a fleet management system like Motive.
This type of software tracks the location of your assets, as well as their maintenance schedules and fuel consumption. It can also help you to manage your drivers, their hours of service, and their regulatory compliance.
Can I customize reporting with Motive?

Motive hardware is designed to work on all types of equipment, from unpowered assets like dumpsters to powered equipment like skid steers, as well as reefers and trailers.
Can I monitor the health and usage of my assets?
Yes. Motive enables you to proactively manage equipment health and minimize downtime, capturing and fixing issues before they become problems.
You can tag defects, add detailed notes, and attach photos. Get alerted to fault codes that require action, customize inspection forms for better control, and track completed and pending tasks at a glance.
How does geofencing work with Motive GPS asset tracking?
Motive Asset Tracking uses geofencing to create virtual boundaries around locations you establish. When an asset enters or exits a geofence, Motive’s system generates real-time alerts and notifications, providing valuable insights into asset movements and activities.
- Create a geofence in the Motive platform.
- Install Motive’s hardware, including the Asset Gateway Mini and Vehicle Gateway. These devices are equipped with GPS or telematics technology that continuously transmit location data to Motive.
- Get alerted when an asset enters or exits a geofence. For example, you can customize alerts and set up notifications for unauthorized asset movements.
- Generate detailed reports to get insights into asset movements, equipment downtime, and geofence alerts.
