Geoforce provides an asset visibility service delivered on-demand. We combine web-based software and maps with small wireless devices to connect a business to the location of its valued equipment and vehicles. Our powerful solution allows customers to reduce labor costs, increase service quality, improve equipment utilization, and optimize operational efficiency by adding a geographical location element to traditional asset management. Geoforce shows you what you have, where it is, and where it has been – automatically.

Having asset visibility allows you to see the current location, history, and status of your valuable equipment and vehicles. What’s really great about our asset visibility service is that you don’t even have to look for it! The system can send you automatic notifications based on your business activity. For example, an email or text message can be sent when a particular asset enters or exits an area, is away from your facility for too long, or has maintenance due.

Geoforce is built to make your job easier AND improve your bottom line. Our technology gives you knowledge about your business that was not available before. This knowledge leads to increased efficiency, improved service quality, and greater profitability. A few examples include: reduced labor in locating equipment, theft prevention, fleet vehicle fuel savings, improved driver behavior, improved internal communication, and fewer capital equipment purchases. We’ll be glad to discuss your application and identify the specific savings together.

Geoforce is a customer focused company. Our team has experience in various industries ranging from oil & gas service, to construction and rental equipment. We believe we are able to create more useful solutions for our customers because we’ve been there and gotten our hands dirty. We’ve also put together an impressive technical team that knows: web-based software, GPS, RFID, Wi-Fi, and other wireless systems. Together, we offer a complete solution that is easy to use and makes good business sense.

We make it easy. We’ve eliminated the risk of a large technology purchase with web-based software and no hassle hardware. Customers pay a start-up fee and monthly fee per asset and Geoforce guarantees that the system will work. Data is available 24/7 from a secure internet connection anywhere in the world.

We offer a unique solution. Geoforce is the only company to offer customers a choice between RFID and GPS technology. Customers can select our Facility View Service for items to be tracked within fixed facilities and our Global View Service for assets to be tracked around the world.

We know our customers. We have experience in industry and tailor the product to meet specific needs rather than trying to fit a single technology into every specific application. If you don’t find what you need our professional services group is ready to help.

Many companies have expertise in a single technology and offer a solution built on that particular technology alone. We have experience with numerous wireless technologies and believe that a hybrid solution is the best approach. GPS is ideal for tracking high-value assets around the world. RFID is a cost-effective solution to provide asset visibility within a fixed facility. Geoforce gives customers a choice by combining active RFID and GPS tracking technology delivered together through an easy-to-use web site.

RFID stands for Radio-Frequency IDentification. RFID provides a way to automatically identify an object similar to a bar code or a magnetic strip, however with RFID the identification occurs at longer range without contact or line of sight. There are two basic components to an RFID system: an RFID Tag and an RFID Tag Reader. RFID Tags are small electronic devices that are installed on an asset to communicate a unique identification number and other related information. RFID tag readers are powered receivers that are installed in a facility to automatically identify RFID tags in a given area. The range of an RFID reader depends on the type of RFID tag.

Active RFID uses tags that are battery powered as opposed to passive RFID tags which have no battery and harvest energy from the RF field generated by the tag reader. Active RFID tags are generally more expensive than passive RFID tags because they have significantly more components, however they have several important advantages: longer operating range (up to 100meters versus 10 meters for passive systems), better performance in harsh environment (metal, liquids, weather, etc.), and more data carrying capacity.

GPS stands for Global Positioning System. GPS is a satellite-based navigation system composed of a 24 medium earth orbit satellites. The system (also known as NAVSTAR) was developed by the US Department of Defense in the late 1970’s and originally intended for military use but opened up to civilians in the 1980’s. The GPS satellites circle the earth in a very precise orbit and transmit a signal to the ground. GPS receivers, such as Geoforce Global View Tags, use this signal to determine its exact geographic location to within 3-5 meters. The GPS receiver can also use this position data to compute other useful information such as speed, heading, etc. GPS devices only receive signals from the GPS satellites - they do not use GPS satellites for communications. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day.

On-Demand Software is also known as Software as a Service (SaaS). SaaS is a software delivery model where a software vendor develops a web-native software application and hosts and operates the application for use by its customers over the Internet. Customers do not pay for owning the software itself but rather for using it. Because the software is delivered via the web, there are no applications to be installed and maintained by customers as is the case with traditional software. SaaS is generally associated with business software and is typically thought of as a low-cost way for businesses to obtain the same benefits of commercially licensed, internally operated software without the associated complexity and high initial cost.
