Separate high-value plant, mobile equipment, toolboxes and individual tools. The tracking method should reflect value, size, power availability and how far each item travels.
Operational challenge · tools & equipment
How do we stop tools and equipment disappearing into the operation?
Tool loss is rarely solved by putting the same tracker on everything. Small tools, plant, trailers and shared equipment move differently and have different values. A better approach segments the estate and applies the right level of visibility to each class.
Design around the problem
Three decisions before choosing technology.
Start with the operating requirement. The technology is only useful if it answers the question your team needs to act on.
Use sites, depots, vehicles and teams as operational zones so managers can see what arrived, what left and what has not been seen recently.
Alerts should highlight genuine operational exceptions such as unexpected movement, leaving a defined area or prolonged inactivity rather than generating constant noise.
Practical approach
Turn the challenge into a deployable workflow.
A strong solution design makes the operational question, technology, exception and owner explicit.

Questions worth answering early.
Clear answers help you scope the requirement before a technical or commercial discussion.
Can small tools be tracked?
Yes, but the right method depends on the tool, required location accuracy, battery expectations and the infrastructure available on site or in vehicles.
Should every item use the same tracker?
Usually not. A mixed tracking strategy can be more practical because plant, trailers, powered equipment and handheld tools have different requirements.
Can tracking show which site equipment is on?
Yes. Site, depot and vehicle-based visibility can be designed to show asset presence and movement where the selected technology and infrastructure support it.
