For organizations managing a variety of tools, equipment, and attachments, keeping track of mission-critical assets—especially the smaller ones—can feel impossible. Items get misplaced on sprawling worksites, sent to the wrong location, or even stolen. Often, it’s not until inventory counts or urgent needs arise that an asset is discovered missing, leaving teams scrambling.

The Samsara Asset Tag empowers teams to overcome these challenges. Its durable, design features and ease of install make deployment scalable and allow teams to track assets they never thought possible. We asked customers across industries where they are using the Asset Tag, and were so inspired by their creativity. Here, we capture a few of those stories and share just how powerful this small but mighty solution can be. 

Tag it. Track it. Protect it.

Power tools, diagnostic kits, distribution boxes, and so much more—teams are finding innovative ways to track and protect mission-critical assets.

Here’s how organizations are putting the Asset Tag to work:

• High-value attachments and tools: Managing tools and attachments ranging from a few thousand dollars to over $100K, Scott Powerline and Utility Equipment, a distributor and rental provider for boom trucks, bucket trucks, and more, uses Asset Tags to eliminate guesswork and quickly locate misplaced items spread across the U.S. and Canada. The live share feature enables real-time visibility, helping teams avoid replacement costs and keep operations on track.

“We can immediately locate ‘lost’ or misplaced items, saving our customers from being charged and ensuring work stays on schedule.” - Scott Howell, Service Supervisor, Scott Powerline

• Power distribution boxes and diagnostic tools: Buckeye Power Sales provides on-site power solutions to businesses, contractors, engineers, municipalities, and homeowners. They track critical equipment like spider boxes, transfer switches, and diagnostic kits worth up to $12,000. The Asset Tag provides visibility into where this equipment is—whether on jobsites or in transit between locations—reducing loss and improving operational confidence.

“Just having visibility of smaller assets has opened our eyes to the potential to reduce expenses due to lost or stolen equipment.” - Kaleb Cline, Service Coordinator, Buckeye Power Sales

• Forklift attachments and smaller tools: For Hoskins Equipment, a high-reach equipment rental fleet with over 2,300 assets, the Asset Tag provides a simple and scalable way to monitor smaller, previously untracked items like forklift buckets and platforms. Its compact size and quick installation drastically reduce time spent searching for equipment.

 “Samsara Asset Tags are simple, reliable, and cost-effective. We’ve tried other solutions, but none have matched the performance or ease of use of Samsara.” - Alek Javier, IT Project Manager, Hoskins Equipment. 

• Auxiliary crane components: Sterling Crane Canada—a division of Marmon Crane Services, the 10th-largest mobile crane rental company in the world—plans to use the Asset Tag to track slings, shackles, and boom sections, especially in harsh winter environments. The Asset Tag ensures equipment can be quickly located, even under heavy snowfall, and is durable enough to operate in sub-zero temperatures.

“We’re excited to be more efficient with where our gear is and gain more visibility so that we place items or components in certain hotspots, or logistically easy areas to access.” – Marco Goodridge, Head of Compliance, Sterling Crane Canada

• Theft-prone equipment and tools: DeSilva Gates Construction provides clients with a wide range of services including demolition, excavation, trucking, earthwork, and hazardous materials removal. They discreetly track chainsaws, attachments, and smaller tools that are often lost or stolen. The Asset Tag’s rugged and compact design blends seamlessly into equipment, mitigating theft, recovering stolen assets, and improving inventory management across their $200M fleet.

“They don’t stand out like traditional GPS devices—they blend in seamlessly and help us protect our tools.” - Rich Poppoff, Equipment Superintendent, DeSilva Gates Construction

If it matters to your team, put an Asset Tag on it.

Managing assets at scale is no small task. Misplaced or forgotten equipment doesn’t just cause frustration—it impacts the bottom line. Whether it’s the cost of replacing tools, delays in work, or time lost searching for items, the ripple effects add up quickly.

That’s where the Asset Tag shines:

• Discrete and durable: Small enough to track anything you couldn’t track before and rugged enough for the toughest environments

• Scalable: Taking only minutes to install, the Asset Tag makes it possible to track smaller tools that play a big role in day-to-day operations

• Visibility: Whether assets are spread across jobsites, in transit between regions, or out for repair, you’ll know where they are

These organizations are saving time, reducing costs, and making their operations more efficient—all with a device small enough to fit in your hand.
