Customers were looking for tracking solutions that work outside their own infrastructure — global asset tracking that follows assets wherever they go. The most important thing for 7iD was finding a platform that was easy to integrate: plug and play for the first customer successes. But equally important was that Sensolus is not a single-technology device. GPS, Wi-Fi sniffing, RFID, Quuppa RTLS — multiple technologies in one device, giving customers the flexibility to track assets indoors, outdoors, on their own property, and beyond. That flexibility makes it valuable across different scenarios in supply chain and intralogistics.

An Austrian construction company with locations in Hungary and Czechia was losing expensive steel rolls — each worth around €2,000 — across multiple construction sites. Assets were forgotten, not picked up, impossible to locate. The solution: automated alerts when a roll hasn’t moved for more than three weeks, combined with a full platform overview of which rolls are at which site.

The typical outcome of having clear traceability is a reduction of around 30% in the number of assets needed. Less reinvestment, less searching, less waste.

Inside a factory, where precise positioning matters down to one metre, Quuppa RTLS is the right technology. At loading and unloading points, RFID handles the job. Outside on transport — in a truck or at a customer site — GPS takes over. One device, three technologies, seamlessly switching based on context.

In the 7iD platform demonstration, load carriers are tracked from packaging station through the factory, out to the customer, and back again — with RFID marrying goods to load carriers, GPS tracking the journey, and the platform giving full visibility of the entire process. The result: more efficient operations, fewer load carriers needed, and full transparency from dispatch to return.

The customer base is growing steadily. More and more midsize companies are finding a business case that pays back. A few years ago, the technology was too expensive for them. That’s changing. Digitalization is driving them to save money, and the ROI is proving itself. Projects start as pilots and grow into rollouts. Midsize companies are a multiple of large enterprises and that’s where the biggest opportunity lies for 7iD and Sensolus together.
