Guide overview

Four layers make location operationally useful.

Device location history can support digital chain of custody by providing timestamped reports for later review. It does not establish who possessed an asset or verify its handovers.

  1. 01
    Identity

    Connect the physical asset to a known tracker and an accountable operational record.

  2. 02
    Movement

    Record current and historical position rather than relying on a one-time location check.

  3. 03
    Context

    Combine sites, geofences, condition readings and device events to explain the journey.

  4. 04
    Accountability

    Retain user and system activity so changes, exports and decisions can be reviewed.
