Activate Your “Offline” Activos
Protrack’s long-life wireless trackers provide “low-touch” management for your trailers, contenedores, and unpowered equipment.
Desafíos
en logística, construcción, and waste management, your most valuable assets are often “unpowered.” Trailers, contenedores, dumpsters, and generators have no power source. Once detached, they become “information islands.”
The loss, robo, or simple misplacement of these assets creates a massive operational black hole. Protrack’s wireless, long-battery-life GPS trackers provide an easy-to-deploy, “set it and forget it” solution.
Solución
Our wireless trackers are purpose-built to solve the “power” y “mantenimiento” problema, providing multi-year, “low-touch” escucha.
Key “Low-Touch” Características
Multiple (Battery-Saving) Tracking Modes
This is the key to long battery life. Remotely configure the mode:
– Timed Mode: (P.EJ., 1 location report per day) for yard inventory. Delivers long battery life.
– Smart Mode: Sleeps when idle, wakes on motion, and reports frequently during transit.
Instant Tamper (Removal) Alerta
A high-sensitivity sensor on the back detects if the device is removed from the asset, triggering an immediate alert to your phone.
Active Theft Recovery Mode
If an asset is confirmed stolen, remotely activate this mode. The device wakes up and enters high-frequency, real-time tracking to provide a precise recovery route for police.
Alerta de batería baja
The platform notifies you before the battery runs out (P.EJ., at 20%), giving you ample time to plan a simple swap.
Beneficios
Deploying wireless trackers delivers an immediate and direct impact on your bottom line.
Maximize Asset Utilization
End “yard blindness.” Instantly locate every idle asset, reduce idle time, and stop buying new assets you don’t need.
Eliminate Manual Checks
Completely automate your yard checks. Save hundreds of man-hours and reduce fuel spent searching for assets.
Ultimate Asset Security
With instant tamper alerts and an active recovery mode, you have the best defense against theft and the best chance of recovery.
Estudio de caso: Recovered 1,800 Million ZAR Assets in Johannesburg
A leading logistics operator based in Johannesburg, Sudáfrica, running a massive fleet of 800 remolques. The company provides critical support for the mining, retail, and container sectors across Gauteng, managing high-velocity goods from key hubs like the Port of Durban.
Despite its large fleet size, the company was plagued by low utilization. The dispatch team relied on manual Excel spreadsheets and driver check-in calls to track trailer locations.
The firm estimated that at any given time, cerca de 10% of their trailers (approx. 80 units) were “lost.” These assets weren’t stolen, but rather forgotten at sprawling customer sites—stuck in corners of large retail distribution centers, idle in container yards at City Deep, or left at remote mining sites for weeks. Each idle trailer was a non-revenue-generating asset, tying up capital and forcing the company to lease additional assets to meet demand.
“Our biggest problem wasn’t a lack of trailers; it was a lack of visibility. We were effectively ‘buying’ assets we already owned just to fulfill new contracts.” — Fleet Manager
The company chose Protrack’s wireless, magnetic GPS trackers for three key reasons:
Instant Deployment: The non-wired, powerful magnetic trackers could be installed onto a trailer chassis in seconds, avoiding costly downtime for hard-wiring.
Long-Life Battery: As trailers have no permanent power source, the devices were set to report their location once per day, ensuring a multi-year battery life.
Rugged Design: The IP67-rated trackers were built to withstand the diverse South African climate and rough road conditions.
▪60+ “Lost” Trailers Found
Using the Protrack platform, the operations team instantly pinpointed the location of over 60 trailers sitting idle in customer yards, repair shops, and lay-by areas. This represented an immediate recovery of over 1,800 Million ZAR (South African Rand) in assets in just 30 días.
▪ 20% Boost in Fleet Efficiency
Dispatchers now had a “God-view” of all assets. When a new order came in (P.EJ., “urgent container collection at City Deep”), they could instantly find the nearest idle trailer instead of making dozens of calls. This dramatically cut down on deadhead mileage, fuel costs, and driver waiting time.
