Asset geofencing software lets you draw virtual boundaries — called geofences — around physical locations like job sites, warehouses, or restricted zones. When a tracked asset enters or exits one of these boundaries, the system automatically fires an alert to the relevant team member. Strev's geofencing works by combining asset location data (updated via GPS, mobile devices, or QR code scans) with configurable zone rules. No specialist hardware installation is required — your team's smartphones and existing asset labels are sufficient to get started.

No. Strev's asset map view and geofencing capabilities work without dedicated GPS hardware. Location data is collected through the Strev mobile app (which uses the device's built-in GPS), QR code and barcode scans from field teams, and manual location updates by assigned users. For organizations that want continuous passive tracking for high-value assets — such as heavy construction equipment or vehicles — Strev also integrates with GPS hardware solutions via API. This flexibility means you can start without hardware costs and add GPS devices later if your operations require it.

Any industry that operates physical assets across multiple locations benefits from geofencing and map-based tracking. The strongest use cases include construction and civil engineering (tracking excavators, pavers, generators, and trailers across job sites), logistics and transportation (monitoring trailers, fleet assets, and cargo in transit), field services and utilities (tracking technician equipment and vehicles across service zones), IT and managed service providers (tracking physical hardware across offices and data centers), and healthcare and facilities management (monitoring medical devices and equipment across large campuses). Strev's platform is flexible enough to serve all of these without customization.

Standard asset management tells you what you own, what it's worth, and what its maintenance history is. Real-time asset tracking adds the where — showing you the physical location of every asset on a live map, alerting you to movement events, and building a timestamped location history that standard asset records don't include. Strev combines both capabilities in one platform: you get the full asset profile — procurement details, lifecycle history, maintenance records, and documents — alongside live location data and geofence control. This means location events are connected to asset records rather than sitting in a separate GPS system your team has to cross-reference manually.

Yes. Strev is well-suited for tracking construction equipment including excavators, paving machines, asphalt rollers, generators, compressors, trailers, and any other heavy asset. You can plot each piece of equipment on the live site map, set geofence zones around job site perimeters, and receive instant alerts if equipment leaves a site without authorization. Location history logs support subcontractor billing, equipment utilization reports, and insurance documentation. For equipment that requires continuous passive GPS tracking, Strev's API allows integration with dedicated GPS hardware solutions — so you're not locked into a single tracking method.

Geofence alerts act as an automatic tripwire for unauthorized asset movement. When you define a boundary around a job site or storage yard, any asset that crosses that boundary outside of permitted hours — or without an authorized movement logged — triggers an immediate alert to the site manager or security team. This means theft or unauthorized removal is flagged within seconds rather than discovered hours or days later. The location log created by Strev also provides documented evidence of when an asset left a zone, which is valuable for police reports, insurance claims, and recovery efforts.

Yes. Strev's asset map view is built for multi-site operations with no upper limit on the number of locations, zones, or assets displayed simultaneously. You can view all assets across every site on a single global map, then filter by site, team, asset type, or status to focus on what's relevant. Each site can have its own geofence configurations, alert rules, and access permissions — so a field manager in one region only sees alerts for their sites, while an operations director can view everything at once. This makes Strev suitable for logistics companies, construction firms, MSPs, and enterprise operations teams managing assets across dozens or hundreds of locations.
