Introducing Sitehound GIS Tracking
Sitehound's GIS tracking capabilities bring geographic intelligence to asset management, providing location context that transforms operational decision-making.
Geographic Intelligence for Asset Management
Location is one of the most valuable dimensions of asset data. Knowing what you have is important, but knowing where it is transforms asset management from a record-keeping exercise into an operational intelligence platform.
What GIS Tracking Provides
Interactive Maps
View asset locations on interactive maps that provide geographic context. Zoom from a global view down to individual site level. Click on assets to see their details, history, and status without leaving the map interface.
Layer Management
Overlay different data layers on your maps including asset locations, facility boundaries, service areas, and infrastructure routes. Combining layers reveals relationships and patterns that tabular data cannot show.
Location History
Track where assets have been over time. Location history supports usage analysis, route optimization, and accountability by documenting an asset's geographic journey through its lifecycle.
Supported Tracking Technologies
GPS
For outdoor mobile assets, GPS provides continuous location updates with global coverage. Fleet vehicles, heavy equipment, and shipping containers benefit from GPS tracking.
Indoor Positioning
Bluetooth beacons and WiFi-based positioning provide location tracking inside buildings where GPS signals are unavailable. Warehouses, hospitals, and offices can track asset locations with room-level precision.
Manual Location Assignment
For assets that do not have electronic tracking, locations can be recorded manually through barcode scanning at designated location points. This provides location data without the cost of electronic tracking hardware.
Integration with Asset Management
GIS tracking is not a standalone feature but an integral part of the Sitehound platform. Location data connects with maintenance records, inventory levels, lifecycle status, and workflow management to create a comprehensive asset management solution with geographic intelligence built in.
