Vodafone has launched an asset tracking service in Qatar to help businesses improve the efficiency of their operations by using IoT technologies.

The end-to-end IoT asset-tracking service facilitates the delivery of real-time information such as asset location and environment conditions, can track multiple assets simultaneously as well as deliver alerts and reports. It is suitable for different businesses such as those in the construction or transport industries, those that use heavy machinery or deal in logistics, and those that manage the distribution or delivery of high value goods and movable equipment.

There are two packages to satisfy large and small enterprises and cater to their respective needs. All users can manage their assets through a self-service IoT web portal and mobile application when monitoring remotely while in the field, and both allow for tracking, dashboard access, reports and alerts notifications.

“We have seen first-hand the drastic need to bring to market IoT technologies and enable digital transformation through IoT innovations,” said Mahday Saad Al Hebabi, business services director at Vodafone Qatar. “Launching IoT asset tracking from Vodafone is allowing the market the access to a diverse range of IoT that can cater for different business needs. At Vodafone, we pride ourselves on our deep sector expertise and industry-leading technologies that allow us to design and deliver IoT services which are tailored to customers in diverse industries and of different sizes. Businesses should not spend precious time figuring out which technologies are best suited to them. They need IoT that is easy to deploy, accessible and affordable, so that they can shift their focus and efforts towards achieving their business goals.”

The system provides full control of asset location, letting users monitor and manage asset environmental and orientation status, reduce risk of loss and theft and increase prevention, increase operational efficiency, and safeguard and secure valuable assets.

Vodafone Qatar offers accessible IoT services underpinned by the company’s GigaNet network to keep IoT devices and assets always connected for smarter decision-making and increased efficiency.
