GPS Asset Tracking Systems South Africa
In industries where every shipment counts, every delay costs, and every asset is worth its weight in risk, GPS asset tracking has moved far beyond simple dots on a screen. For South African businesses in mining, agriculture, oil and gas, and other high-value sectors, GPS tracking has become a critical tool, not just to locate, but to optimise, protect, and improve. Tracksmart does more than just show you where your high value assets are. We show you what it means.

The Power of Real-Time Transportation Visibility
Traditional GPS tracking tells you where something is. But Tracksmart’s real-time transportation visibility platform tells you where it’s going, how it’s performing, if it’s at risk, and how it compares to your operational benchmarks. Whether you’re tracking copper across vast distances, moving temperature-sensitive agricultural loads, or shifting heavy-duty equipment across rugged terrain, you get data that makes sense and that helps you make better business decisions in the moment.
Our platform is custom-built for African conditions: dust, distance, and unreliable connectivity. With Tracksmart, you get clarity and risk reduction.

FAQs
What is a GPS asset tracking system?
A GPS asset tracking system is a digital solution that monitors the location, condition, and status of physical assets in real time. Tracksmart’s system goes beyond location to provide business-critical insights using GPS and advanced analytics.
What is an asset monitoring system?
Asset monitoring systems track not only location but also environmental conditions, usage, and performance. At Tracksmart, we monitor things like temperature, vibration, fuel consumption, and movement across road and rail assets.
What is RFID asset tracking?
RFID asset tracking uses radio-frequency identification tags to locate assets at short range. It’s useful for indoor environments, but for mobile and remote operations, Tracksmart uses GPS and IoT tech for broader, real-time visibility.
Which industries are mostly using asset tracking software?
Industries like mining, agriculture, logistics, energy, and manufacturing rely heavily on asset tracking. At Tracksmart, we work with businesses moving high-value goods and operating large equipment across South Africa and beyond.
