Container tracking & theft prevention

    Never lose a container again

    Roll-offs, skips, dumpsters and press-containers are mobile, high-value assets that wander, get moved without authorization, or disappear. Navixy puts a geofence around each one and fires an instant alert the moment it leaves, then turns every move into utilization you can bill.

    Every container located, every move accounted for

    A container fleet is working capital scattered across a city. Navixy tracks each asset device-agnostically and turns its position into two things operators care about: assets that don't get lost, and moves that get billed.

    A geofence per asset: security and revenue at once

    Each container gets its own geozone. Leave it outside a scheduled job and IoT Logic fires an instant unauthorized-move alert. The same position history becomes utilization: idle assets to rebalance, relocations to bill.

    Instant unauthorized-move alert

    A container leaving its geofence without a matching job triggers an immediate IoT Logic alert: the difference between recovering an asset and writing it off.

    Live position
    Recoverable

    Recover what walks off

    Live position and movement history give dispatch and law enforcement a real location to act on, not a last-seen guess from a paper log.

    Relocation
    Billable move logged

    Bill the moves you make

    Every authorized relocation is a timestamped, located record: the evidence to bill a container swap or delivery that used to leak revenue.

    Rebalance idle capital

    IoT Query utilization reports surface containers sitting idle for weeks: capacity to redeploy instead of buying another asset.

    How it works

    From a tracker on the asset to a defended, billed fleet

    One pattern for every container type: a device on the asset, a fence around where it belongs, an alert when it moves, a report that bills and rebalances.

    1. 01

      Locate

      A GPS tracker, or the container's existing device, reports each asset's position. Roll-offs, skips, dumpsters and press-containers on one map.

    2. 02

      Fence — IoT Logic

      IoT Logic holds a geozone per asset or site and watches for a move with no scheduled job behind it: the signature of theft or an off-book relocation.

    3. 03

      Alert & recover

      An unauthorized move fires an instant alert with a live position, so a container is recovered instead of quietly written off the balance sheet.

    4. 04

      Report — IoT Query

      IoT Query turns position history into utilization and relocation reports: the basis for billing moves and redeploying idle assets.

    The economics

    A container is working capital that can walk away

    Every roll-off and skip is capital parked out in the world, and an untracked one is both a loss risk and a billing gap. Tracking closes both: you stop replacing assets you could have recovered, and you start billing moves you used to give away.

    FAQ

    Straight answers on container tracking

    Which waste containers can Navixy track?
    Navixy tracks any container you can attach or connect a device to: roll-offs, skips, dumpsters and stationary press/compactor containers, across both operating models. A battery GPS tracker suits assets with no power, while a press-container's existing device carries position alongside its fill and power signals. All of them appear on one map with the same geofence and alert logic, regardless of maker.
    How does geofencing prevent theft or unauthorized moves?
    Geofencing prevents theft by firing an instant alert the moment an asset leaves its zone without a matching scheduled job. IoT Logic knows where each container belongs and whether a move is expected. A move with no job behind it triggers an immediate alert with a live position, so you can act while the asset is still recoverable.
    Can tracking help me bill for container moves?
    Yes. Every authorized move is a timestamped, geolocated record, which is exactly the evidence needed to bill a relocation or delivery. Container swaps and relocations that used to go unbilled become line items backed by position history. IoT Query reports the moves per asset and per customer, turning a tracking system into a revenue-recovery tool.
    How do I find containers that are sitting idle?
    IoT Query utilization reports surface containers that haven't moved or been serviced for weeks, so idle capital can be redeployed. Instead of buying more assets, operators rebalance the ones already in the field. The report flags long-idle containers by location, and the same data supports right-sizing the fleet over time.
    Can I track containers that don't have fill-level sensors?
    Yes — GPS tracking and geofencing work independently of fill-level sensors, on any container you can attach a device to. Container location, move alerts and utilization reports run purely on position data, with no fill-level sensor required. When you do add fill sensors — OEM signals or a laser retrofit — the same platform combines both: position, fill state and service history in one report, without a separate integration. You can start with tracking alone and grow into fill-level monitoring on the same platform.
