Next-Level Asset Tracking — Why Visibility Alone Isn’t Enough

The world is moving faster, and so should your asset tracking. The days of simply knowing where something is are behind us. Today, asset tracking needs to help make smarter decisions, improve coordination, and take action in real time. That’s where Glympse comes in.

The Limitations of Traditional Tracking

Traditional asset tracking tools were built to only provide basic visibility — showing the location of one device on one screen. That might have worked when supply chains were simpler, service windows were longer, and customer expectations were lower. But  businesses today need to track assets that are constantly moving, changing hands, crossing systems, and triggering downstream actions.

A GPS location alone doesn’t tell you:

  • Who’s waiting on that asset?
  • What happens when it arrives?
  • Is it late, early, or right on time?
  • What’s the next action once it hits the yard, dock, or site?

At Glympse, we’ve redefined asset tracking for today’s needs. It starts with real-time location, but it goes beyond that. Glympse doesn’t just tell you where your assets are. It tells you what to do with that information. We’re helping companies today with use case challenges that include:  

  • Live turn-by-turn tracking (read more on AWS’s and HERE Technologies’ websites) 
  • Branded ETA sharing with customers or field teams
  • Custom geofences that trigger alerts or actions 
  • Multi-party collaboration (Fun fact: our CBO refers to this as a rendezVIEW, something you can hear more about in her interview with Roger Lanctot of the Mobile Satellite Users Association)
  • Integration into TMS, YMS, ERP, or custom platforms
  • And more

Whether you’re managing tools on a job site, trailers in a distribution yard, or high-value goods in transit, Glympse adapts to your needs. Our platform delivers clarity and control across logistics, field service, retail, and healthcare — wherever speed and coordination matter most.
