Vodafone Qatar Launches a New Asset Tracking System

Vodafone Qatar has announced the launch of an asset tracking system that enables companies to increase the efficiency of their operations through the use of advanced Internet of Things technologies (IOT), a new asset tracking system using fully encrypted connectivity and powered by IOT technology makes it easier for companies to obtain real-time information such as the location of assets and surrounding conditions.

This system also enables simultaneous tracking of multiple assets as well as sending alerts and reports. The system meets the needs of many companies in various sectors such as the building and construction sector or transportation and communications, or companies that use heavy equipment and machinery or work in the field of logistics services and manage the distribution or delivery of high-value goods and transport equipment.

Vodafone offers an IOT-enabled asset tracking system to customers in two packages to meet the needs of both large and small businesses. All users can manage their assets through the self-service Internet of Things portal, and through an application that works on mobile devices when monitoring remotely while they are at the service site, both packages allow users to track, use a dashboard and receive notifications of reports and alerts.

Mr. Mahdi Saad Al Habbabi, Director of Enterprise Business Department at Vodafone Qatar commented: “We have seen first-hand the urgent need to bring IoT technologies to the market and enable digital transformation through innovative IoT solutions.

Al Habbabi added, “Companies should not waste valuable time figuring out which technologies are most suitable for them. They need IoT technology that they can easily operate, implement, use and have access to at reasonable prices so that they can focus their efforts and attention on achieving their business goals.”

Examples of features and benefits that companies derive from the new IoT-enabled asset tracking system include ensuring complete control over the location of assets, monitoring, and control of asset condition (perimeter and orientation status), reducing the potential for loss and theft, enhancing prevention, increasing operational efficiency, protecting, and securing valuable assets.

Vodafone Qatar offers IoT services and solutions that combine simplicity and ease of use, backed by an extensive GigaNet network that keeps IoT devices and assets always connected to make smart and informed decisions as well as increase and enhance efficiency.

Regional trends monitored by the 2019 Vodafone Middle East Barometer report indicate that companies are using IoT to improve asset and resource utilization 61%, reduce operating costs / automate processes 59%, manage risk and compliance 53%, and increase revenue 51%. On the other hand, 79% of IoT users in the Middle East say that this technology has contributed to their digital transformation.
