How it Works
How QR Code Asset Tracking Works
Regardless of which tracker technology you use, every scan, signal, and location update flows into the same GoCodes cloud platform.
Tag your Assets
Apply QR code labels, mount GPS trackers, attach Bluetooth beacons, or affix RFID/NFC tags. Choose the right technology for each asset.
Scan to Check Out
Scan QR codes and NFC tags with your smartphone camera. GPS trackers and Bluetooth beacons transmit location data automatically.
Location Logged
Every interaction logs GPS coordinates, timestamps, user identity and changes made to the cloud. Access from any device.
Track Everything
View all assets on a single map. Run utilization reports. Receive maintenance reminders. Export audit trails for compliance.
Which Tracker Is Right for You?
The best tracker depends on what you are tracking, where it moves, and how much visibility you need.
Many GoCodes customers combine multiple tracker types. Use QR code labels on hand tools. Add GPS trackers to vehicles. Deploy Bluetooth beacons in your warehouse. Use RFID/NFC at your tool crib. All data flows into one platform.

What is an asset tracker?
An asset tracker is a device or label that identifies, locates, and monitors physical assets like tools, equipment, vehicles, and inventory. GoCodes offers four types of asset trackers: GPS trackers for real time location, QR code labels for smartphone scanning, Bluetooth beacons for automatic indoor detection, and RFID/NFC tags for secure identification. All four connect to the same cloud software platform.
What is the difference between GPS, QR code, Bluetooth, and RFID asset trackers?
GPS trackers use satellite signals and cellular networks to provide real time location updates every 60 seconds, with unlimited range. QR code tags require a smartphone scan to log location and are the most affordable option. Bluetooth beacons automatically broadcast asset locations within 100 meters without manual scanning. RFID tags use radio waves for identification at 1 to 12 meters, while NFC requires close contact within centimeters for secure, intentional interactions. The best choice depends on your assets, environment, and tracking requirements.
How does asset tracking work?
Asset tracking works by attaching a tracker or label to each physical asset, then using that device to capture identification, location, and status data. With GoCodes, you tag assets with QR code labels, GPS trackers, Bluetooth beacons, or RFID/NFC tags. Each scan or signal transmission logs GPS coordinates, timestamps, and user identity to a cloud dashboard. You can then view asset locations on a map, run reports, schedule maintenance, and track chain of custody.
Can I use multiple tracker types together?
Yes! Many GoCodes customers combine tracker technologies within a single account. A common setup is QR code labels on hand tools and small equipment, GPS trackers on vehicles and heavy machinery, Bluetooth beacons in warehouses or storage areas, and RFID/NFC tags at controlled distribution points like tool cribs. All data from every tracker type flows into one dashboard.
How much do asset trackers cost?
GoCodes QR code labels are included with your software subscription. Bluetooth beacons cost $25 each (sold in boxes of 10 for $250) with no monthly fees. GPS trackers cost $100 per unit with monthly monitoring starting at $10 per tracker for location only or $15 per tracker for telematics. RFID/NFC tags cost less than a dollar per tag. There are no long term contracts.
Do I need a dedicated app to scan asset trackers?
No! GoCodes’ QR code labels and NFC tags can be scanned using your smartphone’s built in camera. No app download, no login, and no training required for field workers. GPS trackers and Bluetooth beacons transmit data automatically without any manual scanning. All data is accessible through any web browser.
What industries use asset trackers?
Asset trackers are used across construction, fleet management, IT, healthcare, education, and facilities management. Construction teams track tools and heavy equipment across job sites. Fleet managers monitor vehicles and trailers with GPS. IT departments manage laptops and servers with QR codes. Healthcare facilities track medical devices and calibration schedules with RFID/NFC. GoCodes serves all of these industries from a single platform.
How do asset trackers prevent theft?
GPS trackers provide real time location data that supports theft recovery by working directly with law enforcement. Bluetooth beacons include Guardian Mode, which sends automatic email alerts the moment an asset leaves its designated zone. QR code scanning creates a chain of custody record showing who last checked out each asset. RFID/NFC tags require physical proximity for check in/out, preventing unauthorized removal. Together, these technologies create multiple layers of theft prevention.
How quickly can I set up GoCodes?
Most teams are fully operational within one day. You receive your labels or trackers, apply them to your assets, and start scanning. The cloud software requires no complex integration or IT support. QR code tracking works immediately with any smartphone. GPS trackers activate once installed. Bluetooth beacons begin broadcasting as soon as batteries are inserted.
What is the difference between active and passive asset trackers?
Active trackers have their own power source and transmit data continuously. GoCodes’ GPS trackers and Bluetooth beacons are active trackers. Passive trackers have no battery and only activate when scanned or energized by a reader. GoCodes’ QR code labels and RFID/NFC tags are passive trackers. Active trackers provide real time location but cost more. Passive trackers are more affordable and never need battery replacement.
