Track Every Tool: FleetWatcher BLE Asset Tracking

, | May 4, 2026 | By

Don’t know where that concrete saw is? Not sure what size bucket is on that excavator? We’ve got a solution for you. FleetWatcher now offers BLE Asset Tracking, a game-changing feature that ensures you always know the location of your small assets—whether by individual item, jobsite, or asset class.

Simplified Tracking with Cutting-Edge Bluetooth Technology

This new feature leverages state-of-the-art Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology integrated seamlessly with the FleetWatcher App. When you’re on-site, your mobile device can detect and log BLE-equipped tools and attachments within a 100-foot radius. All discovered devices are automatically recorded and displayed in FleetWatcher, just like your larger assets.

With this advancement, you’ll have real-time visibility into the whereabouts of items that are too often misplaced, left behind, or misallocated. It’s precision asset management for the tools that keep your jobs moving.

How It Works

The app will begin scanning for BLE devices within a 100-foot radius. The scanning process runs for 30 seconds, and all discovered devices during that time are recorded and displayed in FleetWatcher’s interface.

Real-Time Feedback & User Controls

If you find the tool before the scan completes, simply tap “Stop Scanning” to end the session early. A notification will confirm whether the scan results were successfully uploaded or if there was an issue transmitting the data.

After each scan, a five-minute cooldown period prevents immediate rescans but allows users to review a comprehensive list of all currently tracked BLE devices in the company. Newly activated devices will automatically populate this list—no manual refresh needed.

A Smarter Way to Manage Your Fleet

The BLE Asset Tracking feature adds a new layer of intelligence to your fleet operations. You can now track small tools with the same accuracy and ease as your heavy equipment. Whether it’s a jackhammer or a mini bucket, FleetWatcher makes sure it’s never out of sight—or out of sync.
