First contact and scoping
Start with your goals and current workflows
Tell us what you need to track, where the pain is, and what a win looks like. We map your assets, locations, and workflows to the outcomes you care about. This first conversation sets the scope for everything that follows.
- Use cases, assets, and locations that matter most.
- Current workflows, bottlenecks, and process gaps.
- Success criteria, timeline, and rollout constraints.
Create the Map
Upload floor plans and connect indoor and outdoor areas
We build your Map from your existing plans. Upload floor plans, scale and rotate them, and align them with the real world. Add rooms, zones, and walking paths so people can search and navigate right away.
- World-to-floor zoom with indoor and outdoor context.
- Rooms, zones, and Map Markers in the right place.
- Search and navigation ready for teams and visitors.
Discovery workshop
Translate goals into a tracking plan
We run a discovery workshop to connect business outcomes to tracking data. Together we define the asset hierarchy, zones, and events that make processes visible. The output is a phased plan with clear ROI steps.
- Asset taxonomy and Digital Twin structure.
- Zones, Geofences, and movement events.
- KPIs and Insights for operations and management.
OpEx-first rollout
Keep budgets flexible while you scale
We shift tracking from CapEx-heavy upfront buys to a clear OpEx model. That keeps spend aligned with rollout, reduces risk, and makes it easier to expand after value is proven.
- Lease hardware and integrations after scoping.
- Scale costs with zones and assets that matter.
- Predictable monthly OpEx instead of large upfront spend.
Pick the right RTLS technology
Match accuracy, update rate, and cost to business value
RTLS is a family of technologies, not a single product. The right choice depends on the assets you track, the environment, and how precise and frequent the updates must be. We help you balance performance, infrastructure, and battery life.
- UWB for high precision.
- BLE/AoA for scalable indoor tracking.
- RFID and other options for symbolic locations.
Pilot and deployment
Start small, prove value, then scale
We start where value is highest. Pilot with a focused area or asset class, validate the Insights, and expand to additional zones and sites once the results are clear.
- Phased rollout with measurable impact.
- Training for frontline teams and managers.
- Operational workflows tied to real movement.
Integrate and scale
Connect data sources and keep systems aligned
FORMATION integrates with existing IoT/RTLS brokers and enterprise systems. Movement events can update ERP or MES records so the Map stays aligned with the system of record.
- OMLOX, MQTT, and related standards.
- API access for workflows, dashboards, and analytics.
- Hybrid Tracking to extend coverage without new infrastructure.
