A 30-second message, in his own voice
The stretch of Highway 17 around Thunder Bay includes some of the longest coverage gaps on the national highway system, which breaks tracking platforms that assume constant connectivity.
Thunder Bay is the western terminus of Great Lakes shipping and a key grain export point, with forestry fleets working far into the surrounding region.
Generators, light towers, containers, compressors and storage trailers move between sites on somebody else's truck, sit for months, and quietly disappear. They have no power to tap and no operator to notice. Conventional fleet tracking skips them entirely, which is exactly why they are where fleets lose the most and see the least.
Around Thunder Bay that plays out along Highway 11, Highway 17 and the Harbour Expressway, and through the Port of Thunder Bay and the Intercity industrial area. The fleets we work with here are concentrated in forestry, grain and port logistics, mining support and construction.
Self-contained, no wiring, reporting infrequently or only on movement.
An asset that moves when it should not triggers a notification, rather than being discovered missing at the next inventory count.
A current list of what is genuinely on each site, which rarely matches the spreadsheet.
Report often on an active site or rarely in storage, trading battery life against visibility.
Assets tied to sites so departures are obvious.
Generators, light towers, pumps, compressors, containers, tool cribs.
There is no fixed average, but realistically an hour of payroll, a couple of gallons of fuel and one extra service call is about $200 to $300 a month for most industries. That is roughly 5 to 10 times the monthly cost, and it starts immediately rather than in six months.
Plugs into the vehicle's diagnostic port. Genuinely plug-and-play, about 30 seconds, and we can ship it directly to you or send a technician.
Best for: Light vehicles, vans and cars where you want to be running the same day.
Straight answer: It can be unplugged. There is a battery-disconnect alert if that happens, but it is not tamper-proof. If you are not confident the tool will be respected, hardwire it instead.
Wired directly into the vehicle and hidden out of sight. Installed by our own mobile technicians, fully insured, who travel to you.
Best for: Any fleet where tamper resistance matters, and every heavy equipment install.
Self-contained with no wiring at all, because the asset it is attached to usually has no power source.
Best for: Trailers, containers, generators, light towers and anything else you just need to confirm is still where you left it.
Straight answer: Battery life depends entirely on how often it reports. Reporting only on movement runs for a very long time; frequent reporting does not.

We do not buy out existing contracts with other providers.

Forestry equipment on remote cut blocks is exposed for long periods with minimal oversight.
Our position on this is simple: we would rather a machine never start than have to go and find it. On heavy equipment that means a starter immobilizer paired to an electronic key fob, so holding a master key is no longer enough to operate the machine. See how the immobilizer works in Thunder Bay.
Practically, anything where replacement cost plus the disruption of losing it exceeds a few hundred dollars. Generators, light towers and tool cribs are common. Individual hand tools are not.
Yes. These are sealed units built to live outside year-round.
No, and that distinction matters for cost. Asset tracking answers whether something is still where you left it. Fleet management answers how a working resource is performing. Different tiers, different price.
Yes. Our technicians are mobile, fully insured and travel to you, and we normally have you running within a day or two depending on equipment availability. For light vehicles we can also ship an OBD-II unit that plugs in in about 30 seconds. Support is by phone Monday to Friday out of Toronto.
Based on what we typically see: an hour of payroll, a couple of gallons of fuel and one extra service call is about $200 to $300 a month per vehicle for most industries. Move the slider to your fleet size.
This is an estimate, not a quote, and it assumes the tool is actually used. The savings come from payroll, overtime, fuel and additional billable hours. We would rather walk you through your real numbers on a call.
