Trackimo is a U.S. based company that specializes in GPS products. It covers both enterprise and consumer sectors including fleet tracking, logistics management, and location-based tracking devices.[1]
The company was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in New York. As of 2017, it has offices in the US, Poland, China and the Philippines.
History
[edit]Trackimo was founded in 2013 by Shai Bar and Sam Shur in Israel. They later acquired distribution deals for the brand in Latin America[2] and Europe[3]. Bar continues to serve as the company CEO and handles global business development and sales. Shur, who created the first prototype modules for Trackimo, is the ongoing head of technology development.
The Trackimo 2G Universal Tracker[4] and Trackimo app made its debut at a press conference during the 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas[5]. The company would later expand their product range with a 3G tracker to address the diminishing of 2G network availability in certain areas. The expansion led to a wider global clientele.
Patented Technology
[edit]Trackimo has a variety of patented technologies, including the Trackimo Instant Location Reporter, Trackimo SIM, Trackimo M2M Connect, the Trackimo Universal Tracker, and the Trackimo App.
Trackimo ILR
[edit]Trackimo’s Instant Location Reporter technology manages user profiles and call routing automatically from a pre-determined set of rules outlined by the user. Trackimo’s ILR technology also has an adaptable customer profile that can make decisions based on its user’s needs in real-time, particularly in response to new information such as location, speed, and fencing needs, among others.
Trackimo SIM
[edit]The Trackimo SIM Card permits global connection to the internet without the need for additional roaming costs. Its technology follows GSMA recommendations, which protects Trackimo’s IMSI resources.
Trackimo M2M
[edit]The Machine to Machine Connect allows lower energy consumption and longer battery life. It overcomes high usage costs as well as the implementation of wireless connectivity. Because the technology operates on a lower signal strength, it enables the Trackimo device to expand its range and battery life.
Trackimo App
[edit]Trackimo has a companion app that serves as its single-point interface that also helps configure and manage the devices. The app authorizes parallel tracking of all the devices a user has under a single account. It remotely updates the device settings, including beeps, alarms, fences, and tracking frequency.
Trackimo Universal Tracker
[edit]The Trackimo Universal Tracker is branded as a compact, lightweight device that offers worldwide service. The all-in-one GPS device includes features such as dynamic tracking frequency, Smart Alerts, Dynamic History, GPS Tracking, Virtual Fences or “Geo-fences,” and the use of Multiple Devices. The device is secured to the user’s backpacks, bikes[6], belts, kid[7], drone[8], dog[9], luggage[10], and may also be hard-wired into vehicles or boats.
Consumer Products
[edit]Trackimo Universal GPS Tracker
[edit]The classic Universal GPS tracker lets users track the Trackimo devices using GPS satellites and cellular tower triangulation as backup. With the help of GSM cellular worldwide networks, the Trackimo Universal GPS tracker can track anything or anyone anywhere 2G network signals are available worldwide.[11]
Trackimo 3G GPS Tracker
[edit]Trackimo’s 3G GPS Tracker is an update of the Universal GPS Tracker. It was developed to address countries that no longer support the 2G network system such as Japan, Korea, Singapore, Australia, Canada, and in some parts of the United States.
Trackimo Car/Marine GPS Tracker
[edit]The device can be hardwired into cars, trucks, boats, or ATVs with its Car/Marine GPS tracker kit. The company branded this product towards fleet and personal vehicle owners during its development.[12]
Trackimo Drone GPS Tracker
[edit]The Trackimo Drone GPS Tracking kit ensures that the device can be attached easily to a drone, making sure that these drones are easier to locate in case they flyaway.[13]
Trackimo Waterproof Box + Magnet
[edit]The waterproof box can house Trackimo GPS tracking device and can come with a 3500mAh battery (compared to the built-in 600mAh) for 6 times longer battery life. The waterproof box also comes with a special magnet and slots to make it possible to hook the device to a farm animal belt, cargo shipments, mobile construction equipment, and even boat engines.
