How does Linxup Tool Tracking work?
The physical Linxup tag attaches to your tools and connects to the vehicle tracking unit via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon. The vehicle tracker regularly scans for tags to identify which are present or out of range. Based on real-time location updates from the vehicle, the tag’s ‘last seen’ location is displayed on the live map, showing either the vehicle it was in or the job site where it was left. Quickly retrieve forgotten tools by configuring an alert to be notified when a tool is left behind at a job site.

Customer Reviews
“We have been using Linxup for many years and had just recently been talked into trying a different service from our FSM, which we tried for a month, but it just did not have the ease of use and clearly defined trip layout that Linxup has, needless to say, so we dropped the other service.”

Verified Buyer“I was in the market for a GPS system and discovered Linxup. After speaking with a representative, I closed the deal, and they shipped the trackers. The experience couldn't have been easier. Once I plugged the trackers into the vehicles, I was instantly able to track all four vehicles on a map.”
