Not everything a business needs to track is a vehicle. Packages move between warehouses, orders travel to customers, and valuable equipment gets moved around, often with far less visibility than the vehicles carrying them.

Beyond vehicles: tracking what moves inside the business

A logistics company might have excellent visibility over its delivery vans, but very little visibility over the individual packages inside them once they leave the vehicle. A construction business might track its trucks closely, but have no way of knowing where a specific piece of equipment currently is across multiple sites. This is the gap FleetTags are designed to close.

What a FleetTag is

A FleetTag is a small, reusable tracking device that can be attached to almost anything a business wants to keep visibility over, a package, a customer order, a piece of equipment, a container, or even a vehicle that doesn't need a full installation. Unlike a one-time shipping label or a disposable tracker, a FleetTag is designed to be reused: once one job or delivery is complete, it can be removed and attached to the next item that needs tracking.

What FleetTags help with

  • Packages, knowing where a specific parcel is between dispatch and delivery, rather than relying on a delivery agent's word.
  • Orders, visibility over customer orders in transit, useful for businesses that want to proactively update customers rather than wait for complaints.
  • Assets, tools, equipment and other valuable items that move between sites or get lent out and sometimes don't come back.
  • Reusability, because the tag isn't tied to a single shipment, it can move from job to job, which makes it a more practical long-term investment than single-use tracking solutions.

A simple example

Consider a business that delivers furniture across a city. Its vans might already be tracked, but once an item is handed to a third-party rider for the final stretch of delivery, visibility usually disappears. A FleetTag attached to the item itself keeps that visibility intact for the whole journey, not just the part covered by the company's own vehicles.

Where the FleetHive Tag Plan fits in

This is exactly the gap the FleetHive Tag Plan is built to fill. It pairs a reusable FleetTag with a straightforward subscription, so a business can start tracking packages, orders or assets without needing to install anything on a vehicle. It's a natural next step for any business that has vehicle tracking sorted but still has blind spots once goods leave the truck.
