Asset Tracking and Management

Find what matters with geospatial data

Azure Map APIs help you stay connected with vital assets wherever they are. Build peerless asset tracking systems powered by Azure Maps’ accurate and reliable geospatial data.

Azure Maps for asset management

Azure Maps offers a powerful solution for asset location tracking and management, serving as a platform for monitoring, analysis, and planning. Building with Azure Maps lets you integrate data from IoT sensors, satellite imagery, and any other external datasets you might already be using to simplify complex logistics challenges. Coupled with the power and flexibility of the Azure platform you can scale to build even more complex use cases.

Fleet Management

Stay connected with your fleet through real-time tracking for multiple vehicles. Including when vehicles move in or out of polygons. Optimize multiple fleet routes for multiple vehicles with artificial intelligence and avoid expensive delays with accurate and up-to-date data.

Inventory Tracking

Supply chains are becoming more complex and critical to business success. Businesses can track their vast inventory with ease. Optimize supply chains and reduce losses with better asset tracking.

Emergency Response

Enhance situational awareness and improve coordination by tracking emergency response vehicles, equipment, and personnel for enhanced situational awareness.

Remote Monitoring

Monitor remote assets with data from IoT sensors with the Azure IoT Hub. Know about potential problems before they occur and act proactively.

Condition monitoring

Build asset tracking systems to monitor key equipment parameters, powered by location data from your IoT sensors. Identify significant changes easily with Azure Maps data visualization APIs and help prevent equipment failure.
