Geotab has launched GO Anywhere Plus in Australia and New Zealand, positioning the product as an asset-tracking option for businesses managing high-value powered equipment and trailers across multiple locations.
The company said the release targets operational and security challenges associated with equipment dispersed between depots, construction sites and customer locations, where limited visibility can contribute to misplaced assets, unplanned rental costs and project delays. Geotab also linked improved tracking to fleet security measures, citing the potential to identify unusual activity when assets are misplaced or potentially stolen.
“Managing a fleet today goes well beyond tracking vehicles. Across ANZ, businesses rely on valuable equipment spread across multiple locations, yet knowing where these assets are and how effectively they’re being used isn’t always straightforward. Whether it’s a trailer left at a depot or machinery sitting idle at a construction site, limited visibility can create unnecessary costs and operational disruption. By building on our existing asset-tracking capabilities, we’re helping businesses gain greater visibility over their equipment, make better use of their existing assets and respond more effectively when equipment moves unexpectedly.” said David Brown, Associate Vice President – APAC, Geotab.
Geotab said GO Anywhere Plus is designed for equipment and trailers requiring frequent location updates and more detailed operational information. For transport and logistics operators, the company said the solution enables trailers and containers to be monitored independently of the vehicles transporting them.
For construction, infrastructure and utilities use cases, Geotab said the device can provide near-real-time location information when connected to power, along with ignition status, engine hours and inferred distance travelled for supported assets. The company said this data can be used to identify underutilised machinery, support maintenance planning and decide whether to redeploy existing equipment rather than hire additional assets.
The company said the device combines wired power with a field-replaceable battery, and includes geofencing and movement alerts intended to help organisations detect unexpected movements and respond to potential security incidents.
Geotab said GO Anywhere Plus integrates with its MyGeotab platform, allowing fleet vehicles and equipment to be managed through a single system.
“Effective asset management starts with having the right information at the right time. For businesses managing valuable equipment across multiple locations, understanding where assets are and how they’re being used can make a significant difference to day-to-day operations. With GO Anywhere Plus, we’re building on our existing asset-tracking capabilities to help Australian businesses improve equipment availability, reduce operational inefficiencies and make more informed decisions about how their assets are managed,” said David.
Geotab said GO Anywhere Plus is available in Australia and New Zealand.
