Know a tool is missing before the van drives away

Tag the tools and kit each van should carry. GeoTrace checks them against the van as it works, so a case left on a driveway or a ladder on the wrong van is flagged while it’s still easy to fix.

Sound familiar?

A tracker tells you where the van is. It can’t tell you the drill is still sitting on the last customer’s driveway.

“I thought it was in the van”

A drill or level gets left on a driveway at the end of a job. Nobody notices until the next job, an hour’s drive away.

“Who’s got the pipe camera?”

Expensive shared kit moves between vans. When it’s needed, someone spends the morning phoning round to find it.

“We’ll just buy another”

Lost tools are quietly replaced, again and again. The cost never shows up in one place, so it never gets fixed.

Left behind? You’ll know before you leave

Assign tools to the van they belong in. When the van drives off without one, GeoTrace flags it as missing and shows where it was last detected — usually the driveway you’ve just pulled out of.

What’s on the van, right now

Every tagged item shows a plain status — on board, just arrived or missing — updated automatically as the van works. Nobody has to scan anything.

Shared kit, on the right van

Pipe cameras, generators and test kit get passed between vans. If one turns up on a different van from the one it’s assigned to, you get an alert — and you know exactly where it went.

A day in the life of every tool kit

Every tagged item builds up a simple timeline: when it was loaded, where it went missing, and when it turned up again. “Where has this been all week?” finally gets a real answer.

Plus everything else in GeoTrace

It all sits in the same GeoTrace dashboard as your vehicle tracking, so there's nothing extra to learn.

Drivers check their own van

The companion app shows each driver the tools that belong on their van, so they can check before they set off.

Full vehicle tracking

Live location, trip playback, speeding alerts and geofences for every van, on the same map.

Tag battery warnings

Every tag warns you well before its battery runs flat, so nothing quietly drops off the dashboard.

A summary every morning

A 7am email of what needs attention — trackers not reporting, vans to check and anything coming up.
