A stolen vehicle recovery system (SVRS) is a small, hidden device paired with a network and app that alerts you when your car is moved without permission and shows its live location so police can find it faster. Depending on the system, location data is transmitted via GPS and cellular networks, dedicated radio frequency beacons, or built into your vehicle’s factory telematics. The goal is simple: shorten the time between theft and recovery to reduce damage, inconvenience, and loss. Read the rest of this entry »

A vehicle is stolen every 37 seconds in the U.S., and more than 850,000 drivers lost their cars to thieves in 2024. Thefts happen fast—often in under a minute—and even careful drivers get caught off guard by opportunists, tow-away scams, and high‑tech relay attacks. If you’ve ever wondered whether a steering wheel lock is enough, if your keyless entry makes you a target, or how to get your car back if the worst happens, you’re in the right place.

You need live location you can trust—whether that’s checking a teen’s route home, keeping an eye on company vehicles, protecting expensive equipment, or staying connected to an elderly parent. The challenge: devices look similar on the surface, but differ wildly in update speed, coverage (cellular vs. satellite), battery life, mounting options, and the real cost once subscriptions and add‑ons are factored in. Pick wrong and you get gaps, delays, and hidden fees; pick right and you get instant alerts, clear history, and true peace of mind. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re juggling a mixed fleet, small tools that walk off jobsites, and equipment that seems to idle more than it earns, construction asset tracking isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s how you protect margins and schedules. Paper logs and spreadsheets can’t tell you what’s running, what’s idle, who has that rotary laser, or whether a skid steer left the yard at 2 a.m. You need live location, utilization, and maintenance status across every site, with rugged hardware that survives dust, vibration, and weather—and options that still report from dead zones and remote projects.

This guide cuts through the noise. We evaluated leading software and GPS devices for construction on real-time visibility, ease of install (OBD-II, hardwired, battery, solar, BLE), tool accountability, maintenance workflows, integrations (project management, CMMS, fuel/GPS), durability, and pricing. Below, you’ll find the five best options—LiveViewGPS, Tenna, EZO EZOfficeInventory, ShareMyToolbox, and Radius Telematics—what each does best, key features for field teams, hardware choices, integrations and rollout, plus pricing and fit. Let’s get you the right mix for vehicles, heavy equipment, and tools. Read the rest of this entry »
