GNT TrackSlate™. Track what comes back.
An ultra-thin, reusable location tag for returnable packaging, equipment and valuable assets. No SIM, up to 24 months of service life, and every sighting delivered into GoAndTrack.
Built to be tagged once and reused for years.
Designed for assets that make the return journey.
TrackSlate is for the reusable items that quietly leak out of a network — the ones nobody tracks because a cellular device per unit was never realistic.
Returnable crates, totes and packaging
Know which pooled containers are still in circulation, which are sitting at a customer site, and which never came back.
Tool and equipment cases
Follow flight cases and tool kits between depots, engineers and job sites without a tracker subscription on each one.
Rental and demonstration equipment
See where demo units were last seen and how long they have been on site before the return is chased.
High-value spare parts
Tag service exchange units and spares so recovery does not depend on paperwork.
Roll cages and reusable transport items
Track the reusable transport furniture that quietly disappears across a network.
Sightings, not satellites.
TrackSlate is not a GPS or cellular tracker. Location updates are generated when compatible nearby connected devices detect the BLE signal, so coverage and update frequency depend on the surrounding network.
Attach and assign
Fix TrackSlate to the asset and assign it in GoAndTrack, so every sighting is tied to a named crate, case or unit.
Nearby devices detect it
Compatible nearby connected devices pick up the BLE signal as the asset moves through depots, vehicles and facilities.
GoAndTrack makes it useful
Sightings become location history, geofence arrival and departure events, and operational insight you can act on.
Read more about how sighting-based location works in BLE asset tracking.
A tag is only useful if the platform is.
TrackSlate data lands in the same workspace as the rest of your estate, with location history, battery status, geofencing and shipment mode already live.
- One view alongside your GPS trackers, smart labels and condition monitors
- Last-seen location and full sighting history per asset
- Geofence arrival and departure visibility for depots, customer sites and yards
- Return-due, overdue and not-seen-recently views you can build from sighting and geofence data
- AI-assisted questions such as “Which cases have not returned?” or “Where was asset 447 last seen?”
One tag, repeated journeys.
The economics of reusable assets are about attrition and idle time, not second-by-second telematics.
Fewer assets lost
Reusable packaging leaks out of a network slowly and invisibly. A last sighting turns a write-off into a recovery.
Less time searching
Teams stop walking yards and calling sites to find a case that a sighting record could have pointed to.
Better utilisation
Dwell and return-cycle visibility shows where containers idle, so you can right-size the pool instead of buying more.
No SIM per asset
Cellular hardware and airtime rarely stack up on low-value reusables. TrackSlate adds visibility without a subscription on every item.

TrackSlate™ questions, answered honestly.
Does TrackSlate use GPS?
No. TrackSlate is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tag, not a GPS or satellite device. Its position is reported when compatible nearby connected devices detect its BLE signal, and those sightings are delivered into GoAndTrack as last-seen locations and sighting history.
Does it need a SIM or monthly mobile-data plan?
No. TrackSlate has no SIM and no cellular subscription. That is what makes it practical to tag large populations of reusable, lower-value assets that would never justify a cellular tracker each.
How often does its location update?
There is no fixed refresh interval. A new sighting is generated whenever a compatible nearby connected device detects the tag, so update frequency and coverage depend on how busy the surrounding network is. Expect strong sighting density around depots, facilities and populated routes, and sparser sightings in isolated locations.
What assets is it best suited to?
Assets that make the return journey: returnable crates and totes, tool and equipment cases, rental and demonstration kit, high-value spare parts, roll cages and reusable transport items.
Can it appear alongside our existing trackers?
Yes. TrackSlate sits in the same GoAndTrack workspace as your GPS trackers, smart labels and condition monitors, so mixed hardware estates are managed in one map, one history view and one set of geofences.
Is it suitable for temperature-controlled shipments?
Not on its own — TrackSlate has no temperature sensor. For cold chain or condition-sensitive goods, pair a suitable condition-monitoring device with your TrackSlate deployment so location and temperature evidence sit side by side in GoAndTrack.
