In today’s increasingly connected logistics and manufacturing landscape, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) of trailers, trailer dealers and trailer rental companies are turning to advanced trailer tracking solutions to improve visibility, efficiency, and accountability. As supply chains grow more complex, the demand for real-time trailer tracking across factory floors, storage yards, shipping routes, dealer showrooms and final customer sites has never been higher.

Enter the Trackem Solo GPS Tracker—a rugged, reliable, and ultra-flexible device purpose-built for tracking trailers and other non-powered assets. Combined with the flexible GPS ping rate plans for the Solo Tracker and the flexible GPS platform options, this solution streamlines trailer inventory at the manufacturing plant or overseeing a fleet of rental trailers scattered across the country. The Solo Tracker offers a cost-effective, plug-and-play solution that delivers value across the asset lifecycle.

Rugged and Reliable Design for Harsh Conditions

The Trackem Solo GPS is engineered with a tough IP68-rated housing, providing resistance to water, dust, dirt, and debris. It thrives in extreme weather—rain, snow, mud, or heat—ensuring uninterrupted tracking regardless of environmental conditions. This tracker can resist impacts and even be submerged in water beyond one meter for brief periods of time. This makes it an ideal solution for o trailer tracking applications where exposure to the elements is inevitable.

For OEMs and rental companies alike, durability isn’t optional—it’s essential. With the Solo GPS tracker, you can install once and rely on it for years to come.

Dual-Mode Tracking: GPS + Wi-Fi for Unmatched Flexibility

Traditional GPS trailer tracking systems often struggle indoors, where satellite signals can be weak or completely blocked. The Trackem Solo Tracker overcomes this challenge with hybrid tracking technology that combines GPS for outdoor use and Wi-Fi positioning for indoor or signal-obstructed environments. The final fall back the The Solo, if neither of those two signal options are available is cellular tower triangulation, making this unit triple redundant. 

Here’s how it works:

• Outdoors: The Solo uses GPS satellites orbiting earth to provide precise location updates.

• Indoors or Dense Urban Areas: When GPS signals can be limited, the device leverages Wi-Fi network triangulation to maintain accurate positioning—even inside warehouses, garages, or enclosed storage lots.

This hybrid system makes the Trackem Solo Tracker one of the most versatile trailer tracking tools available, providing continuous asset visibility across all environments.

Simple Installation

One of the standout features of the Trackem Solo is how quickly it can be deployed to track trailers. The device installs in minutes using just two fasteners, basic zip tie, double-sided tape or even a stick on magnet. No specialized tools, wiring, or technical expertise required.

This means:

• OEMs can attach the Solo as part of the final assembly or before shipping trailers to dealers.

• Rental companies can easily swap or reposition trackers between trailers in their fleet with minimal effort.

This ease of use not only lowers labor costs but also removes the typical logistical hurdles of deploying GPS tracking at scale.

Long Battery Life with Easy Field Replacement

Non-powered assets like trailers can’t rely on wired power sources for tracking, making battery efficiency critical. The Trackem Solo GPS uses three AAA batteries that are easily replaceable in the field—no proprietary tools, no downtime.

Depending on the tracking frequency settings, the Solo can operate for up to and over ten years on a single set of batteries. The flexible ping rate settings let you customize how often the device reports its location, balancing battery life and data granularity.

Game-Changing Inventory and Logistics Tracking for OEMs

OEMs face a constant challenge in tracking trailers across multiple locations—production floors, storage yards, shipping docks, and transit routes. With the Trackem Solo, manufacturers gain full visibility over their assets throughout the production and distribution pipeline.

Use cases include:

• Factory Inventory Management: Track trailers as they move between departments, assembly lines, or on-site/off-site storage locations.

• Shipping & Delivery Oversight: Monitor units during transit to wholesalers or dealers, with real-time updates to confirm delivery.

• Loss Prevention: Quickly locate misplaced or idle trailers using the Solo’s live tracking dashboard.

For manufacturers, the ability to implement end-to-end asset tracking translates into improved operational efficiency, reduced shrinkage, and better customer satisfaction.

Trailer rental companies need more than just location tracking—they need accountability, control, and recoverability. The Trackem Solo provides peace of mind by delivering:

• Real-time location data for every trailer in your fleet

• Alerts for unauthorized movement

• Geofence notifications when a trailer enters or leaves a defined area

• Historical tracking to resolve disputes or validate usage

Cost Recovery & New Revenue Stream: Transfer the Tracker (and Cost) to End Customers

One of the most unique and profitable features of the Trackem GPS system is the ability to transfer ownership of the tracker account to the end customer after sale or rental.

This means:

• OEMs can bundle the cost of the tracker into the sale of the trailer, offering buyers a value-added feature while recouping the hardware investment.

• Rental companies can include GPS tracking as part of premium rental packages—or even upsell it as a separate service.

In either case, the transition is seamless. Customers receive access to the tracking dashboard under their own account, allowing them to continue monitoring their trailer GPS post-sale or rental.
