OBJECT
What vehicle, asset, tool, machine, shipment, animal, or authorized participant is involved?
TRACKING TECHNOLOGY + DEPLOYMENT INTELLIGENCE
TRACK WHAT MOVES.
KNOW WHAT MATTERS.
DistanceTrak helps organizations define the asset, purpose, environment, accuracy, update rate, power, connectivity, data, privacy, security, and integration requirements before selecting a tracking system.
“WE NEED GPS” IS NOT A COMPLETE DEPLOYMENT REQUIREMENT.
DistanceTrak does not provide live tracking, certify systems, request browser location, or support covert or unauthorized person tracking.

01 / BEFORE THE DEVICE
TRACKING IS A SYSTEM.
NOT A DOT ON A MAP.
A deployment depends on the tracked object, business purpose, physical environment, required accuracy, reporting interval, network coverage, battery objective, installation method, data access, privacy, security, integration, and lifecycle support.
A device can report a location and still fail the operational requirement.
PURPOSE
What decision or action should the data support?
ENVIRONMENT
Indoor, outdoor, underground, in transit, metal, heat, cold, or multiple regions?
ACCURACY
Country, city, yard, zone, room, shelf, lane, machine, or millimeter position?
TIMING
How often must information be generated, transmitted, and displayed?
POWER
Vehicle, facility, replaceable battery, rechargeable battery, solar, or no continuous power?
CONNECTIVITY
Which networks, gateways, satellites, mobile devices, or local systems exist?
DATA GOVERNANCE
Who can access it, how long is it kept, and how is it deleted?
02 / WHAT ARE YOU TRACKING?
START WITH THE OPERATION.
NOT THE TECHNOLOGY NAME.
Use the operational need to define the system. Every category below opens the requirements builder with a non-sensitive application preset.
APP / 01
FLEET + VEHICLES
Company vehicles, mileage, routes, arrival, departure, and utilization.
Personally linked vehicles require notice, access controls, and legal review.
BUILD THIS REQUIREMENT →APP / 02
TRAILERS + MOBILE ASSETS
Trailers, generators, compressors, rental equipment, and high-value mobile assets.
Power, update interval, movement frequency, and coverage drive the architecture.
BUILD THIS REQUIREMENT →APP / 03
TOOLS + EQUIPMENT
Tool inventory, shared equipment, jobsite assets, return control, and utilization.
Presence and check-in events may be more appropriate than continuous tracking.
BUILD THIS REQUIREMENT →APP / 04
LOGISTICS + CONTAINERS
Containers, pallets, reusable packaging, shipments, yards, and arrival events.
No system should be assumed to provide visibility across every carrier or border.
BUILD THIS REQUIREMENT →APP / 05
FIELD OPERATIONS
Dispatch, arrival confirmation, service territory, field coordination, and authorized safety workflows.
Worker-linked tracking must be disclosed, limited, authorized, and reviewed.
BUILD THIS REQUIREMENT →APP / 06
INDOOR LOCATION
Rooms, zones, shelves, work cells, manufacturing flow, and high-value equipment.
BLE, UWB, RFID, Wi-Fi, and optical approaches fit different environments.
BUILD THIS REQUIREMENT →APP / 07
INDUSTRIAL DISTANCE + POSITION
Linear travel, machine position, object separation, conveyors, cranes, and robotic movement.
This may be measurement technology rather than geographic tracking.
BUILD THIS REQUIREMENT →APP / 08
SPORTS + PERFORMANCE DISTANCE
Athlete-owned routes, movement, speed, laps, training distance, and performance data.
The participant must knowingly authorize personal performance tracking.
BUILD THIS REQUIREMENT →03 / HOW TRACKING MAY WORK
DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS
REQUIRE DIFFERENT SIGNALS.
No technology is universally best. Coverage, accuracy, timing, installation, power, data, privacy, and lifecycle conditions determine fit.
GNSS + GPS
Outdoor position and route history
- Evaluate
- Sky view, urban canyon, indoor performance, power, update interval
CELLULAR TELEMATICS
Connected vehicles and mobile assets
- Evaluate
- Coverage, roaming, data plans, antenna, device certification, dead zones
SATELLITE TRACKING
Remote, maritime, rural, and off-grid operations
- Evaluate
- Sky view, transmission cost, update rate, power, regional service
BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY
Proximity, presence, and indoor zones
- Evaluate
- Gateway density, phone dependence, interference, battery, calibration
ULTRA-WIDEBAND
Fine indoor position and ranging
- Evaluate
- Anchor design, line of sight, installation, power, calibration
RFID
Identity, portals, inventory, and check-in events
- Evaluate
- Tag type, reader placement, materials, read zone, workflow
04 / REQUIREMENTS BUILDER
TURN “WE NEED TRACKING”
INTO A DEPLOYMENT
A SUPPLIER CAN ANSWER.
Ten structured steps. Authorization first. Your answers remain in this browser unless you explicitly save, export, or submit them.
BUILD THE BRIEF05 / THE BOUNDARY
AUTHORIZED TRACKING ONLY.
DistanceTrak supports organization-owned assets, authorized operations, personal property, athlete-controlled performance data, and other lawful deployments.
DISTANCETRAK WILL NOT SUPPORT
- Covert person tracking
- Intimate-partner or former-partner tracking
- Hidden employee monitoring
- Unauthorized vehicle or property tracking
- Bypassing unwanted-tracker alerts
06 / FOUNDING DIRECTORY
FIND THE CAPABILITY.
CHECK THE CONDITIONS.
The directory begins empty. Companies will be added only after identity, source, claim-condition, privacy, security, lifecycle, and commercial-disclosure review.
NO PUBLIC COMPANY PROFILES HAVE BEEN RELEASED.
Submit a company capability or build a buyer requirement while the founding directory is assembled.
07 / WHY THIS EXISTS
BETTER TRACKING STARTS BEFORE THE DEVICE IS ORDERED.
DistanceTrak is being developed by Mike Jannicelli as a commercially credible requirements and technology-discovery platform. The opportunity is to turn vague buyer requests into structured operational documents—and to require suppliers to state the conditions behind technical claims.
