At Tech.co, we don’t make tech recommendations lightly: Our research team rigorously studies and tests all the products we write about. To identify the top asset tracking companies you need to monitor your valuable business assets, we analyzed five different research categories for each of the top 20 asset tracking companies in the US. This in-depth analysis took us 100+ hours.
The five categories we examined were: price, (plans, free trials, and value-to-cost ratio), types of asset tags (RFID, GPS, and/or barcodes), alerts (usage, geofencing, out-of-working-hours, and in-motion), organization (support for work orders, maintenance, fuel tracking, and insurance tracking), and hardware (weather proofing, network connectivity, battery life, and mobile app support).
Once all five categories are factored into our tests for each provider, we converted those scores into a single, weighted, five-point overall ranking: This allows us to compared the brands on a high level in addition to granular category-by-category ratings.
