As extreme weather becomes more frequent and unpredictable, protecting your assets is more critical than ever. This applies to a range of industries, from finance and powersports to medical and construction fields, as well as Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH) dealers.
Regardless of whether your asset is a car, truck, ATV, trailer, RV, construction equipment or medical device, having a reliable, waterproof GPS tracker is essential. In this article, we’ll discuss why waterproofing matters, no matter what kind of assets you manage, and why PassTime Encore is a smart investment.
Extreme weather events are getting more frequent and severe. They can cause significant damage to property, infrastructure and equipment across various industries. These events aren’t just limited to coastal areas; flooding, extreme snowmelt, heavy rainfall, fires and sprinkler-system activations can all contribute to water damage. Consider these scenarios:
These scenarios illustrate why a waterproof GPS tracker is necessary, regardless of the type of asset you’re managing. It’s not just about protecting boats and ATVs; any asset can be exposed to water damage, and having a waterproof tracking solution is essential to ensuring uninterrupted asset monitoring.
Powersports assets, including ATVs, motorcycles and watercrafts, are often exposed to water. An ATV GPS tracking system or GPS tracking device for motorcycles must be able to withstand direct water contact, whether from splashing, heavy rain or being submerged. Even when your asset isn’t actively in use, it can still be exposed to unexpected weather changes or flooding in storage.
The same holds true for trailers and RVs. While they might not be in the water, they are often exposed to extreme weather conditions, including heavy rain, snowmelt and high humidity. A battery-powered GPS tracker that is waterproof ensures that you don’t lose contact with your asset, even in harsh conditions.
For finance companies and BHPH dealers, the ability to effectively monitor assets is critical. Losing the tracking capability on a financed vehicle due to water damage is more than just inconvenient; it can lead to significant financial losses. Whether it’s an auto-monitoring device on a financed vehicle or an asset on a BHPH lot, a waterproof GPS tracker ensures that you maintain visibility even in adverse weather.
When you’re financing vehicles or assets, the goal is to minimize risk while maximizing returns. Waterproof GPS devices help achieve this by reducing the chances of equipment damage and maintaining consistent monitoring, even during inclement weather. It’s about providing peace of mind and better control over your assets.
Medical and construction equipment can be subject to extreme conditions in different ways. Construction equipment often operates in harsh environments, which include exposure to rain, snow, mud and even dust storms. A wireless GPS solution that is waterproof and rugged is crucial to maintaining uptime and reducing operational risks.
On the medical side, emergency and transport equipment can be exposed to unpredictable conditions, both indoors and outdoors. Hospitals can also experience water-related incidents due to damaged sprinkler systems or other infrastructure failures. Having a waterproof GPS tracker is crucial in such settings to maintain the location and status of vital equipment.
In many cases, asset tracking is essential for business continuity, theft prevention and safety. However, the real challenge often comes when the unexpected occurs—flooding, storm damage or even minor water exposure. Losing tracking capabilities because a device wasn't waterproof could be costly and even dangerous. This makes a waterproof GPS tracker an important investment that pays off across various business sectors.
A waterproof GPS tracker does more than protect against the obvious water risks like flooding or heavy rain; it also protects against minor, yet potentially damaging, incidents, like driving through a puddle or accidental exposure to liquids during maintenance. For businesses with assets that can be exposed to the elements at any time, a waterproof tracking solution is simply a smart risk-mitigation strategy.
