Which construction assets can be
fitted with a GPS tracker?
Powered machinery, passive equipment, structural materials, tooling — the TRAKmy GPS tracker covers your whole site fleet. For specific use cases in detail, see our complete guide to locating site equipment.
The challenges
Why fit a GPS tracker
on a construction site?
Every day without a GPS tracker means hours lost looking for machines, undetected theft and an under-optimised construction fleet. To go further, read our dedicated article on preventing theft on construction sites.
Where are my machines and equipment?
Your machines are on several sites at once. Without GPS, every morning starts with a costly hunt for machinery.
Theft and diversion of equipment
According to estimates from the French Building Federation (FFB), the sector suffers around €1.5 billion in annual losses from theft in France. Weekends and nights are the most exposed periods.
Unknown utilisation rate
Are your machines really used 8 hours a day? Without data, it is hard to justify purchases, rentals or transfers between sites.
Time-consuming manual inventories
Counting every asset on every site takes hours of error-prone manual entry — up to 200 hours a year lost.
Measurable impact

Our construction customers see a fast return on investment across four key dimensions.
How it works
How does a GPS tracker work
on a construction site?
A construction GPS tracker combines 3 technologies: satellite GPS, the low-power NB-IoT network (GSMA) and a cloud analysis platform. From the tracker on the machine to operational decisions — in a few hours.
Digitise your whole fleet
A battery-powered tracker fitted to each asset in seconds. No wiring, no electrical work, even on unpowered equipment.
Digital logbook
Replace spreadsheets and phone calls with automatic digital tracking of every asset — location, activity, presence on site.
Integrate & analyse
Connect the TRAKmy platform to your existing systems (ERP, TMS, GIS). Enrich your business data with the real location and activity of every asset.
Step 1
Full visibility
over your site fleet
Know at any moment where each of your machines and construction assets is — on which site, for how long, and whether it is active.
Real-time positioning of all your assets
A unified map of the whole fleet, filterable by site, asset type or status. Last position and time on site.
Automatic inventory per site
Define a geofence for each site. The platform automatically counts every asset present and generates the inventory in real time.
Anti-theft & suspicious movement alerts
Set alerts for night-time and weekend movement. Be notified immediately if an asset leaves its assigned zone outside working hours.
Step 2
Digital logbook —
no more Excel on site
Replace shared spreadsheets and paper logs with automatic, verifiable traceability of every machine and construction asset. See also our feature on renting site equipment with GPS tracking.
Full history per asset
Retrieve every movement, site presence and activity period since the tracker was deployed.
Operating hours tracking
Calculate real working hours per machine, per site and per period. Objective data for planning and billing.
Bidirectional ERP integration
Connect asset location and activity directly to your ERP for logistics processes with no re-keying.
Step 3
Easy integration
with your ERP / TMS systems
The TRAKmy platform integrates with your existing ERP, TMS or GIS — enriching your business data with no double entry. Implementation follows the GDPR framework for positioning data.
Open API — ERP/TMS/GIS connection
Bring positioning data straight into your existing systems. One of our customers cut phone calls to zero through this integration.
Remove duplicates & errors
Eliminate manual records and ensure accurate billing of deposits and rentals through verifiable timestamped data.
Mobile app in the field
Your field teams access proximity positioning, tracker activation and alerts directly on iOS and Android.

Construction customer references
They digitised their construction fleet
with TRAKmy
Construction companies across Europe have transformed their fleet management with the TRAKmy GPS tracker solution.

TRAKmy customer case
How we digitised
a 50-asset construction fleet across 3 sites
Continuous positioning of the fleet and vehicles
From deployment, completed in under an hour across the whole fleet, the trackers made it possible to identify the machines' latest activity (departure, movement, stop) and therefore the position of every resource. The solution ensures each site starts properly every day and measures working time.
Automatic inventories per site
Using geofences, each site was marked on the platform. Every machine present was located and counted automatically — eliminating 200 hours of manual data entry per year. The operator can now track the use of each resource across the different sites and improve rotations.
Anti-theft alert: a €15,000 mini-excavator recovered
The solution alerted the customer by email over the weekend, after a mini-excavator was moved on one of the three sites outside working hours. Immediate action and recovery of a machine worth €15,000. See also our feature on filing a complaint after a theft with a GPS tracker.
Better allocation between sites
The real-time view of machine availability improved allocation across sites, kept equipment availability up to date and made it easier for teams to intervene, thanks to the exact position of every asset.
Frequently asked questions
Everything about GPS trackers
for construction
How much does a GPS tracker for construction machinery cost?
The price of a professional GPS tracker for construction depends on the model, the number of assets to fit and the options chosen. TRAKmy offers 3 ranges suited to construction sites: the COMPACT 1115 for tooling and small assets, the ULTRA N+ 1101 for machinery and skips, and the REACT 1215 for powered vehicles. A single annual subscription covers NB-IoT connectivity, the platform, anti-theft alerts and support. A tailored quote is provided within 24 hours based on your fleet size and specific needs.
How does a GPS tracker protect against theft on site?
The TRAKmy GPS tracker sends immediate alerts if movement occurs outside defined time windows (nights, weekends). Configurable geofences trigger an email and SMS notification as soon as a machine leaves its site. In the event of theft, real-time positioning makes it possible to act quickly and recover the equipment. One of our construction customers recovered a €15,000 mini-excavator through a weekend alert. To go further, see our guide to preventing theft on construction sites.
Which machinery and equipment can be fitted with a GPS tracker on site?
TRAKmy fits the whole construction fleet: powered machinery (excavators, loaders, compactors, mini-excavators), passive equipment (skips, cabinets, scaffolding, trailers), power tools (breakers, grinders, compressors), generators, site containers and structural materials (precast concrete, pallets). The trackers work with no power supply on unpowered assets thanks to up to 10 years of battery life. See also our dedicated solution for skip and waste management.
How do you install a GPS tracker on construction machinery?
Installation takes under a minute: fixing with 3M VHB™ industrial adhesive, powerful magnets or screws depending on the asset. TRAKmy trackers are rated IP68/IP69K and IK09 (IEC 60529) to withstand harsh construction conditions: mud, high-pressure jets, vibration and impact. No electrical wiring is needed thanks to 5 to 10 years of battery life. A full fleet of 50 to 500 assets is deployed in one day by your own teams.
Does the GPS tracker work in areas with no mobile coverage?
Yes. The NB-IoT network (GSMA) used by TRAKmy penetrates better than conventional cellular networks, particularly in basements, tunnels, warehouses and rural areas. When the tracker is in a completely uncovered area, it stores positions locally for up to 60 days and retransmits them automatically as soon as it regains a connection. No data is lost. NB-IoT coverage extends to 74+ European countries. You can test NB-IoT coverage in your area.
Can I integrate GPS tracker data with my ERP or TMS?
Yes. TRAKmy has a bidirectional REST API compatible with the main construction ERP/TMS systems: SAP, Oracle, Sage, Chronotech, Kerhis, ABC and any system with an API connection. Positioning data, automatic inventory per site and alerts feed straight into your system, eliminating double entry. Our technical team supports the integration. The iOS/Android mobile app also gives direct access in the field. For advanced analysis needs, see our Analytics platform.
Is the GPS tracker GDPR compliant for tracking equipment and staff?
Yes. Positioning of professional equipment is governed by the GDPR and EDPB guidance. TRAKmy provides what compliance requires: prior information for staff, a documented legitimate purpose, configurable retention periods, and rights of access and rectification. For vehicles carrying staff, see our GDPR positioning guide 2026 and our template employment contract addendum.
