Asset Tracking with spottr - 7 Reasons Why spottr is the Right Choice

IoT Sensors

Modern asset tracking solutions often rely on expensive hardware such as GPS trackers, RFID chips, or IoT sensors. However, these technologies are not always the optimal choice. spottr's solution relies on a smart combination of QR codes and software to provide a cost-efficient, flexible, and easy asset management solution.
Below, we explain the advantages of spottr compared to hardware-intensive solutions such as GPS trackers, RFID chips, or IoT devices.

1. Low Implementation and Operating Costs

Hardware solutions like GPS trackers or IoT sensors often require expensive devices per asset, regular maintenance, and battery changes. Additional costs from mobile contracts or cloud services are also common.
The benefits of using spottr with QR codes:

  • QR codes cost only a few cents per unit.
  • No maintenance required.
  • Minimal costs for printing and attaching the codes.
For companies with many assets, spottr is significantly cheaper in terms of implementation and ongoing operation.

2. Simple Setup and Use

Installing GPS trackers or IoT devices often requires technical expertise. RFID tags require special readers and additional infrastructure such as gateways.
The benefits of using spottr with QR codes:

  • QR codes can be quickly generated, printed, and applied.
  • Scanning and retrieving information works with any smartphone – no special devices needed.
  • User-friendly software with an intuitive interface.
With spottr, you can get started within minutes without complicated setup.

3. Platform Independence

GPS trackers, RFID tags, or IoT devices are often dependent on proprietary systems and form closed platforms. High costs and efforts when switching providers are the result.
The advantages of using spottr with QR codes:

  • Works on any platform with browser access.
  • QR codes are an open standard and can be used worldwide.
spottr avoids vendor lock-in and is universally usable.

4. Scalability

Alternative solutions require new devices for each additional asset, making scaling expensive. Infrastructure such as readers or networks may also need to be expanded.
The advantages of using spottr with QR codes:

  • QR codes can be created and used in any quantity.
  • The software remains cost-efficient regardless of the number of assets managed.
Whether it's 10 or 10,000 assets – spottr grows flexibly with your needs.

5. Flexibility in Applications

GPS trackers are typically only useful for mobile assets. RFID technology is limited to short-range applications. IoT devices can be restricted by environmental conditions such as weather or power supply.
The advantages of using spottr with QR codes:

  • QR codes are universally suitable for both stationary and mobile assets.
  • No problem in harsh environments – easily adaptable through protective films or weatherproof labels, even 3D printed QR codes.
  • Enables linking additional data such as images, documents like maintenance schedules, and project-specific information.
spottr offers wide applicability without limitations.

6. Data Protection and Security

GPS and IoT systems often transmit location data in real-time, which can raise privacy concerns. In the event of a security breach, sensitive information could be compromised.
The advantages of using spottr with QR codes:

  • Data is only retrieved or transmitted when needed.
  • No real-time transmission of sensitive information.
  • High control over data access through different user roles.
spottr protects your sensitive data and information.

7. Maintenance-Free

GPS trackers and IoT devices require regular updates, battery replacements, or repairs. RFID systems can become unreliable due to physical wear and tear or interference.
The advantages of using spottr with QR codes:

  • QR codes require no maintenance.
  • The software is centrally updated and always up to date.
With spottr, there is no maintenance effort for your assets.
