What is FORMATION
Real-time location intelligence for physical operations
FORMATION provides a live operational map of assets, locations, and activity that makes all your assets visible. It is a real-time location intelligence platform for physical operations. This location intelligence platform scales from site to site. Start with QR Code Tags and add RTLS when you need continuous visibility. Reduce search time, improve Situational Awareness, and build clear accountability across teams with asset tracking software built for enterprise location intelligence.
RTLS without upfront risk: an OpEx model that pays for itself in weeks to months.
Full stack and out of the box. FORMATION covers tracking infrastructure, a Map-first app teams love, and deep integrations with your platform.
You cannot optimize what you can't see
Distance and uncertainty create hidden cost
Some of our larger customers run tens or hundreds of thousands of square meters per site. Keeping track of everything across that space is hard.
The cost shows up fast:
- Workers spend more than 5% of their time searching.
- Throughput drops when space is not used well.
- Cycle times grow when location is uncertain.
- Buffering critical supplies and over-ordering creates waste.
FORMATION makes movement visible so teams can remove the waste.
Track → Trace → Trigger
Track where things are. Trace what happened. Trigger what happens next.
Track
Everything has a place. FORMATION helps you see where things are.
Scan with a smartphone, or use a real-time location system (RTLS) to keep track of your assets without manual scan actions. Add Hybrid Tracking for hybrid indoor outdoor tracking where continuous visibility is required.
Trace
Tracking is not just about where things are. It is about where they have been.
See who moved what, when, and why. Build a clear record for insights, audits, and improvement.
Trigger
See movement live and act on it.
FORMATION lets you define zones, rules, and conditions that make movements actionable. Use zone-based tracking, geofencing indoors, and location-based alerts to trigger tasks and system updates in real time.
Loved by workers
An awesome user experience that teams actually adopt
The FORMATION app is designed for the people who use it every day. It opens instantly on any phone, feels familiar, and keeps work simple.
Scan QR Codes to interact with things around you. Identify assets, update their metadata, attach a photo, leave a comment. Search for what you need, and navigate to where you are needed with indoor navigation software. No training, no app installs, just a Map-first experience workers enjoy.
- Map-first user experience that feels like a modern consumer app.
- QR Code entry points for instant access.
- Search and indoor navigation software that work indoors and outdoors.
Return on investment
Unlock capacity you already paid for
Unlock capacity you already paid for and stop losing time, money, and visibility because assets and spaces are invisible.
ROI metrics from real customer outcomes:
- 6% reduction in search time (based on real customer feedback from CIH).
- 10 to 100% throughput increase (based on real customer feedback from CIH).
- Audit trails that meet compliance requirements.
- Worker adoption with no training.
Where it matters most
Defense
Current geopolitical realities have shifted priorities from long-term planning to immediate readiness. Defense organizations face unprecedented demand, where delivery speed and maintenance throughput directly impact capability.
Modernizing logistics and maintenance operations is no longer optional. Those who gain real-time insight into movement, assets, and bottlenecks can scale output faster, adapt under pressure, and stay ahead as others struggle to keep up.
Manufacturing
Manufacturers are under pressure to deliver more with the same footprint. Demand volatility, supply chain disruptions, and rising costs make efficiency gains harder to find. They are more valuable than ever.
Teams that understand how work actually flows can remove bottlenecks, reduce search time, and unlock hidden capacity. Those that don’t risk falling behind as competitors modernize and turn operational visibility into a strategic advantage.
Logistics
Global logistics has become less predictable and more time-critical. Congestion, delays, and disruptions expose how fragile operations become when movement is opaque.
Organizations investing in real-time visibility can stabilize flow, improve utilization, and react faster when conditions change. As logistics networks modernize, seeing movement live is now expected.
Proven in high-stakes environments
Defense-grade outcomes, industrial scale
- Hybrid Tracking across large maintenance sites with QR Codes and BLE.
- Search, audit, and Insights tools that surface bottlenecks early.
- Demonstrated gains in throughput and team productivity in defense maintenance programs.
The interactive map from FORMATION was a wonderful and highly intuitive application for the guests of the Berliner Hoffest des Regierenden Bürgermeisters 2025. The clear presentation of the grounds and comprehensive information about our exhibitors and partners contributed significantly to better orientation on the festival grounds. Thank you for the uncomplicated and pleasant cooperation.
The Cyber Innovation Hub of the German federal forces uses FORMATION to organize the work environment to boost vehicle maintenance and logistical processes.
The location integration layer where everything comes together on the map.
Wow! I have never seen a product make such impact in such a short time.
The product showed us just how many areas FORMATION can help us with its solution.
