Introduction
The Locate My Asset feature allows Fleet Admins and Fleet Managers to request immediate location pings from Asset Gateway 31 (Asset Gateway Mini) devices, bypassing the standard 12-hour ping interval. It is available on both Motive Fleet Dashboard and Motive Fleet App. This feature is particularly useful for the following:
- Theft prevention
- Locating misplaced assets
- Conducting yard hunts on large job sites
How Locate My Asset helps you
- Fleets can get asset locations, critical for theft prevention and asset recovery.
- Simple and intuitive UI with a Refresh button to request location updates.
Locate My Asset Overview
Optimizing battery life with Locate My Asset feature
Locate My Asset feature provides flexibility to obtain on-demand location updates. Some fleets may choose to reduce the frequency of scheduled pings since they may not require a scheduled ping every 12 hours. For instance, given the ability to request location on demand, they may reduce scheduled pings to a 24-hour or 48-hour interval, which can extend battery life.
| Note: An occasional on-demand ping doesn’t materially affect battery life. Initiating an on-demand ping every day has the same effect on battery life as adding an additional scheduled ping per day. For example: increasing from 12h pings to 8h pings. |
| Note: Please contact Motive Support to activate it. |
