About Asset Tracking

Updated by Dean Perry

Asset Tracking uses GPS tracking devices attached to tools and equipment to show where your serialized inventory is, where it has been and whether it is on site. Each tracking device is linked to one serialized item. Every reading from the device updates that item's GPS position and Last Seen date, so tracked items also appear on the Inventory Map and the Map on TH6 Mobile.

Asset tracking appears in the left side menu with three pages:

  • Tracking Map shows every tracked item, its current position, its tracker and its route history.
  • Geofences defines the site boundaries used to report whether an item is on site.
  • Tracking Devices is where devices are registered, linked to serialized items, moved between items and retired.
Asset Tracking is available on ToolHound Cloud. Only tracking devices that ToolHound has shipped to your company can be registered. Contact support@toolhound.com to add Asset Tracking to your subscription or to order tracking devices.
