GPS ASSET TRACKING SOFTWARE
GPS Asset Tracking Software for Equipment in the Field
Know Where Your Equipment Is. Job Site to Job Site.
Generators. Compressors. Specialty construction and rental gear. When high-value equipment leaves your yard, barcode scanning can’t follow it. Wasp GPS can. Real-time location, full movement history, and utilization data for the assets that are hardest to track and most expensive to lose.
PLATFORM OVERVIEW
One GPS Asset Tracker for Every Asset Across Locations
Wasp GPS delivers a single, unified view of every asset, anywhere it goes. From real-time location history to usage patterns and lifecycle data, your operations team gets the intelligence to make faster, smarter decisions every day.
Key Capabilities
Real-Time Location Tracking
Live location data for every asset, whether it’s on a remote job site, in transit, or parked at a facility. Outdoor tracking uses GPS, while indoor tracking uses Wi-Fi access-point scanning, with location accuracy of approximately 10-100 meters in urban areas. This gives you practical indoor location visibility across warehouses, facilities, and other large spaces.
Asset Lifecycle Visibility
See the full history of where every asset has been, how long it was there, and how it was used. Identify underused equipment that’s quietly costing you money, spot operational inefficiencies across sites, and flag unplanned usage before it becomes a pattern. All from a single timeline view.
Purpose-Built Hardware
Wasp GPS devices are made for field conditions, with IP68-rated water resistance, IK06 or IK07 impact ratings depending on the device, and user-replaceable AA or AAA batteries. They support both indoor and outdoor location tracking, can be reconfigured over the air without physical retrieval, and run up to 10 years at low reporting frequencies. When the battery runs out, you can replace it in the field without taking the device out of service. Wasp GPS devices are designed to keep tracking assets in demanding environments where standard trackers may not hold up.
Geofencing & Instant Alerts
Draw circular geofences around any site or zone. Automatically trigger a move, check-in, or check-out when an asset enters a geofence, and receive notifications when it exits. See how long an asset spends within a zone, including after-hours movement that may indicate theft or unauthorized use.
GPS Tracking Built into Wasp Asset
Wasp GPS is built into Wasp Asset, our asset tracking software, and backed by Wasp’s experience serving more than 20,000 SaaS customers worldwide. GPS isn’t a separate, standalone system. It’s another tracking capability within Wasp Asset, alongside barcode and RFID tracking. Use the right tracking method for each asset, from everyday equipment that stays within a facility to high-value assets that move between locations.

Returnable Containers 
Rental Equipment Active job sites are high-churn environments. Equipment arrives, moves around, gets borrowed by other crews, and sometimes disappears entirely. Wasp GPS gives site managers a live, accurate view of what’s on-site, what’s been moved, and what’s missing.
Site Inventory at a Glance
See exactly what equipment is present on each job site — without a manual walkthrough or phone calls.
Track Arrivals & Departures
Know when equipment arrives on site, when it leaves, and confirm it went where it was supposed to go.
On-Site Utilization
Identify equipment that's been on-site for days without moving — is it working or just taking up space?
Pre-Job Availability Check
Confirm equipment is on-site and ready before scheduling crews — avoid surprises on day one.
Delivery & Removal Verification
Confirm deliveries actually arrived and that equipment was removed from site when the project wrapped.
Multi-Site Redeployment
When projects overlap, quickly see what's idle and available to move to an active site that needs it.
Equipment deployed to remote sites — mines, oil fields, utility worksites, agricultural operations — is the hardest to account for and the most expensive to misplace. When an asset is hours away, you need a system that tells you where it is, where it's been, and whether it's being used as intended.
Live Location Without Site Visits
See every remote asset on a map in real time — no phone calls, no driving to check.
Full Movement History
Review where each asset has been, which sites it visited, and how long it stayed at each location.
Identify Idle Equipment
Spot assets that haven't moved in days and redeploy them before idle time compounds into real cost.
Catch Unplanned Usage
See when assets operate outside expected locations or hours — a signal of inefficiency or misuse.
Coordinate Across Multiple Sites
Manage assets spread across dozens of remote locations from a single dashboard.
Last-Known Location on Missing Assets
If an asset goes missing, you have a location record to act on — not a blank starting point.
Assets in motion — shipments, fleet vehicles, trailers, inventory moving between warehouses and sites — are invisible the moment they leave your facility. Wasp GPS keeps them on your radar throughout the entire journey.
Real-Time Visibility
See where every asset is during transit — whether it's a vehicle, trailer, or shipment on the move.
Transit Time Monitoring
Track how long assets spend in transit and identify routes or handoff points causing consistent delays.
Detect Unexpected Stops
See when a shipment or vehicle has stopped unexpectedly or is stalled at a location longer than expected.
Delivery Confirmation
Verify assets reached the right location with time-stamped GPS data — an objective record, not a phone call.
Full Journey History
Replay the complete transit path for any asset — useful for disputes, audits, or improving route efficiency.
Inbound & Outbound Visibility
Know what's en route to you, what's going out, and where everything is between those two points.
Returnable containers and packaging are easy to lose track of and expensive to replace. Every container that doesn't come back is a direct cost — and most losses happen at handoff points where visibility drops to zero.
Full-Cycle Tracking
Follow containers from dispatch through customer use and back to your facility — no blind spots in the cycle.
Dwell Time Monitoring
Know how long containers have been sitting at a customer site or in transit — and act when they're overdue.
Pinpoint Where Losses Happen
Identify the exact handoff point where containers routinely go missing and fix the process there.
Pool Visibility
See your entire container pool at once — in use, in transit, idle at a site, or overdue for return.
Return Accountability
Know exactly which customer or location has each container so you can follow up with precision, not guesswork.
Reduce Replacement Costs
Fewer lost containers means lower replacement spend — visibility pays for itself quickly in high-volume operations.
Whether you're renting equipment out to customers or leasing assets from a vendor, visibility is critical on both sides. Wasp GPS keeps rental and leased assets accountable throughout the contract period — and gives you an objective record when return time comes.
Know Where Every Rental Asset Is
Track contracted equipment across all active customer sites or projects at any time.
Monitor Rental Periods
See how long equipment has been out and get visibility into assets approaching or past their return date.
Usage vs. Contract
Compare where and how often equipment is actually being used against the terms of the rental agreement.
Dispute Resolution
Location history provides an objective, time-stamped record for billing or damage disputes at return.
Cut Unnecessary Rental Costs
Identify leased equipment that's been sitting idle and return it early — before another billing cycle hits.
Deployment Visibility
Know which sites or projects each rental asset is assigned to — and confirm it's actually there.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started with GPS asset tracking.
What is GPS asset tracking software?
GPS asset tracking software uses GPS and IoT devices to provide real-time location visibility for physical assets — including equipment, vehicles, trailers, and containers — wherever they are in the field. It enables real-time location monitoring, asset lifecycle tracking, and utilization visibility across your entire operation.
What types of assets can be tracked with Wasp GPS?
Wasp GPS tracking supports a wide range of asset types including heavy equipment, construction assets, fleet vehicles, trailers, freight shipments, returnable packaging, cable drums, and mining or oil & gas equipment. It’s particularly well-suited for assets that are high-value, hard to track, geographically dispersed, or rented and leased.
Does Wasp GPS include geofencing?
Yes. Geofencing is available in Wasp GPS. Draw circular boundaries around any site or zone, and Wasp Asset automatically triggers a move, check-in, or check-out when an asset enters one, then notifies you when it exits. You can also see how long an asset spent inside a zone, including after-hours movement that may indicate theft or unauthorized use.
Can GPS tracking help recover lost or stolen equipment?
Yes. When an asset goes missing, the difference between recovering it and writing it off often comes down to whether you have a last-known location. Wasp GPS gives you a full location history for every tracked asset — where it was, when it moved, and where it ended up — so your team has something concrete to act on rather than starting from zero.
How quickly can I get up and running?
Most customers are tracking assets within a few days of receiving hardware. Devices arrive pre-configured and activate on first power-up. Platform setup — including alerts, reporting rules, and user accounts — is handled by Wasp’s training and onboarding team, so you’re not figuring it out on your own.
What is the battery life for the asset tracking hardware?
Battery life depends on how frequently the device reports its location. At low reporting intervals, Wasp GPS hardware lasts up to 10 years using user-replaceable AA or AAA batteries, depending on the device. When the battery runs out, you can replace it in the field without taking the device out of service.
When should I use barcode labels vs. GPS trackers?
The right choice depends on the asset’s value, mobility, and how much visibility you need between check-ins. Barcode labels work well for lower-value assets that stay on-site or are regularly scanned during check-in/out and audits — they’re cost-effective and easy to scale across large inventories. GPS trackers are the better fit for high-value, mobile, or hard-to-find assets: equipment deployed in the field, assets that leave your facility, or anything where knowing the real-time location matters. Wasp supports both methods on a single platform, so you can mix and match based on what each asset actually requires.
Can Wasp GPS trackers detect movement?
Yes. Wasp GPS devices include a built-in accelerometer that detects when an asset starts moving. When movement is detected, the device wakes from its low-power state and triggers a location report, so you get timely visibility the moment an asset is in motion, without requiring constant high-frequency polling. It’s especially useful for assets that sit for extended periods but where any unexpected movement warrants attention.
