التحدي

For Constructora del Sol, a major firm working on new industrial parks in Querétaro, heavy machinery theft wasn’t just a risk—it was a crippling expense.

“We had lost two excavators in the last year,” said Operations Manager, Ingeniero Roberto Garza. “That’s nearly $3 Million Pesos gone. Our insurance premiums skyrocketed, and our provider threatened to drop our theft coverage entirely if we didn’t install active GPS tracking.”

The thieves were professionals. They struck at night, bypassed standard security, and the machines would vanish.

الحل & Recovery

After deploying Protrack, the inevitable happened. At 2:00 AM on a Sunday, Ing. Garza’s phone lit up. It was a Geo-fence alert: أ $150,000 backhoe was moving off their jobsite.

“In the past, my stomach would have dropped. I’d have felt helpless,” Ing. Garza said. “This time, I felt in control.”

1. يُحذًِر: He immediately logged into the Protrack platform, confirmed the theft, and saw the backhoe was already heading towards the “Autopista México-Querétaro”.

2. مسار: He shared the live tracking link directly with the Guardia Nacional patrol for pursuit.

3. Immobilize: The operator of the stolen machine, likely feeling safe, pulled into a gasolinera. As the National Guard units closed in, Ing. Garza sent the Remote Immobilization command from his phone.

4. Recover: The engine died instantly. The thief tried to restart it, failed, and was apprehended by the officers moments later.
