How FleetWatcher Stops Equipment Theft

| January 26, 2026 | By

Jobsite theft costs contractors time, money, and productivity. FleetWatcher by AlignOps, a leading telematics platform, helps stop theft in its tracks and makes recovering stolen equipment faster and easier.

Proactive Theft Prevention 

FleetWatcher uses advanced GPS technology to show you the exact location of any machine at any time. A built-in unauthorized-use feature automatically alerts you if equipment is started after hours, giving you the chance to act quickly and notify law enforcement before it’s too late.

Breadcrumb Trail & Location Activity

 If a machine is moved or towed without permission, FleetWatcher’s breadcrumb feature tracks its location activity in real time. Updates are recorded every minute, providing a detailed trail of movement that can be accessed from both desktop browsers and mobile devices.
