Why Your Assets Need a GPS Tracker


High-value tools, machinery, and equipment are among the most targeted assets in the UK. Tool theft surged 16% in 2025, with nearly 31,000 reported incidents — and the true figure is estimated to be significantly higher due to widespread underreporting. The National Crime Agency has confirmed that organised crime groups are actively stealing and exporting construction machinery from the UK to Eastern Europe, with a digger stolen from a site in the West Midlands capable of being loaded into a shipping container bound for the Balkans within 48 hours. A GPSBob asset tracker means you always know exactly where your equipment is — and you're the first to know the moment something moves that shouldn't.

What Can an Asset Tracker Do for You?

A GPSBob asset tracker goes far beyond simply showing you where your equipment is. Set a geofence around a site, yard, or storage location and receive an instant alert the moment an asset moves beyond it — day or night. Monitor multiple assets simultaneously from a single dashboard on any smartphone or desktop, review full movement history, and build up a detailed picture of how and where your equipment is being used. For construction firms and plant hire operators, asset tracking also improves utilisation, reduces losses from misplaced equipment, and gives you the data you need to manage your fleet more efficiently.

Protect Everything From Tools to Plant Machinery


GPSBob asset trackers are available in a range of sizes and configurations to suit assets of every kind. Compact, covert trackers can be discreetly hidden inside power tools, generators, and portable equipment — making them virtually impossible for thieves to find and remove. For larger plant machinery such as excavators, dumpers, and telehandlers, hardwired or magnetic trackers provide a robust, always-on solution that survives the toughest working conditions. Only 21% of stolen construction equipment is ever recovered without a tracker fitted — a GPSBob asset tracker dramatically improves those odds.

Simple to Deploy, Powerful to Use

Getting your assets protected with a GPSBob tracker couldn't be simpler. Our range includes battery-powered devices that can be attached to any asset in seconds, with no wiring or professional installation required. Once fitted, every asset is visible in real time from the GPSBob app — with instant theft alerts, geofence notifications, and full movement history all accessible from your phone or desktop. Whether you're protecting a single van load of tools or an entire fleet of plant machinery across multiple sites, GPSBob asset trackers give you the control, visibility, and peace of mind your business needs.
