We set it up, and we keep it running.
Every project starts with a site walk, and you can stop there. After that you choose how far to go: a pilot in one area, a full installation, and ongoing care. This page lists what we do at each step, what we need from you, and what you have at the end of it.
- Starts with

- You can stop
- After any step

Six services, in the order most projects use them
It starts with a short call, and if it looks like a fit, a walk of your site. After that you can stop at any step, and each one ends with something you keep. Pick a service to see what we do, what we need from you, and what you get.
- 01
A day on site. We test tags on your real items and measure where readers will and will not hear them.
- 02
One area and one kind of item, measured before and after, so you judge it in your own numbers.
- 03
We tag the items, mount the readers and gateways, and link every tag to your existing records.
- 04
Rooms drawn on your floor plans, alert rules written with you, and training for each team.
- 05
Weekly and monthly reports, exports, and links into the business systems you already use.
- 06
We watch readers and tag batteries, update the software, and fix what stops working.
Site walk and report
A day on site to find out whether tracking will work for you, and what it would take.
- What we do
- Walk the building with the people who know where things go. Test tags on your real items, measure where readers will and will not hear them, and note where there is power and network.
- What you provide
- Someone who knows the site for the day, a floor plan if you have one, and a few of the items you want to track.
- What you get
- A written report covering what to tag, where each reader goes, which tag suits each item, and anything that will not work. A proposal comes with it.
Pilot
One area and one kind of item, measured before and after.
- What we do
- Tag the items in one room, department or line, install readers there, and set up uCAAT 2.0 for the people who work in it. Before anything goes live we measure how things work today, such as how long a count takes or how often something goes missing.
- What you provide
- A pilot area, a contact person, and a few weeks of normal work.
- What you get
- Results in your own numbers, and a clear point to decide: stop, change the plan, or roll it out.
Tagging and installation
The physical work, done by the team that walked your site.
- What we do
- Apply the tags, or train your staff to apply them. Mount and cable the readers and gateways. Link every tag to your existing records, usually by importing a spreadsheet.
- What you provide
- Access to the areas, and your item list or asset register.
- What you get
- Every tagged item listed in uCAAT 2.0 with its current location, and a tag count checked against your records.
Platform setup and training
uCAAT 2.0 arranged around the way your teams already work.
- What we do
- Draw your rooms and zones on your floor plans, write the alert rules with you, and set up roles so each person sees what they need. We also change the wording to match yours, so staff see "objects" or "tools" instead of "assets".
- What you provide
- The people who will use it, and what each of them needs to see and do.
- What you get
- A sign-in for each person, alert rules you agreed to, and staff who have used it before it goes live.
Reports and connections
This is where our background in data work comes in.
- What we do
- Build the weekly and monthly reports your managers ask for, set up exports to spreadsheets, and connect uCAAT 2.0 to your business systems, either through its documented API or through dashboards in the reporting tools you already use.
- What you provide
- Examples of the reports you use today, and an IT contact for any connection work.
- What you get
- Reports that arrive on schedule, and numbers that agree between uCAAT 2.0 and your other systems.
Ongoing care
We watch the system so problems are found before your staff notice them.
- What we do
- Monitor every reader and gateway, warn you before tag batteries run low, update the software, repair or replace hardware that stops working, and answer your team's support requests.
- What you provide
- Someone on site who can let us in, or restart a reader if we ask.
- What you get
- A monthly summary of system health, moves and alerts, and a named support contact your team can reach.
How a quote is worked out
We do not publish prices. A single store room and a refinery are different jobs, and a price list would be wrong for almost everyone who read it.
These are the things that change a quote. If you can tell us roughly where you stand on each, the first call goes faster.
- How many items you want to track, and what they are made of. Metal and liquids need different tags.
- How many rooms, floors or sites are involved, and how far apart they are.
- Whether you need to know which room something is in at all times, or only when it passes a door or gets counted.
- Whether people are tracked for safety, and whether any area is classified as hazardous.
- Which of your systems uCAAT 2.0 needs to connect to.
- Whether the system runs as a hosted service or on a server in your building.
After the site walk, the proposal lists every piece of work and what it costs, so nothing is left to be worked out later.
Cases where we will point you elsewhere
We would rather say this now than halfway through a project.
Trucks between cities
We work inside buildings and across sites. For vehicles on the road between locations, a GPS tracker is the better tool.
A few hundred items that rarely move
A barcode label and a scanner may be all you need. If the site walk shows that, the report will say so.
Measuring how hard people work
We track people for safety, headcounts and restricted areas. We do not set up systems to score staff productivity.
Hundreds of sites in the first month
We start with one site or one area and expand once the pilot works. If you need a very large rollout all at once, we may be too small for it, and we will tell you.
Start with a site walk.
Tell us roughly what you want to track, how many, and where. We will suggest a date for the walk, or tell you why it is not worth one.
Or email contact@avnisynapse.com
- We reply within one business day.
- A short call to understand the site and what you want to fix.
- If it looks like a fit, we book the site walk. If it does not, we say so.
