Security & Custody
High-value asset tracking requires custody-style workflows and signed telemetry. Consider custody-focused providers or external custody platforms when chain-of-custody is required (Custody Platform Comparative Analysis).
Integration Tips
For mobile-first workflows, invest in a stable CI/CD pipeline for companion apps. Benchmarks and recommendations for Android pipelines in 2026 help teams choose the right tools for mobile agents (Top CI/CD Tools for Android).
Specialist Use Cases
If you track precious goods or need assay validation, watch the intersection with modern assaying: mobile verification and AI-driven sampling are changing logistics for valuable goods (Tech Trends in Assaying).
Buying Checklist
- API access and data export format
- Proof of signed telemetry for audits
- Battery profile and expected real-world life
- Support for ephemeral geofences and event-based retention
Final Recommendation
SMEs should prioritise integration and security over marginally better accuracy. For high-value items select custody-focused solutions; for event or retail deployments pick lightweight tags using the pop-up retail playbook.
