One team, from site survey to ongoing support.
Every engagement begins with a site survey, and you are under no obligation to proceed further. From there you decide the scope: a pilot in one area, a full installation, then ongoing support. Each stage is set out below: our work, your contribution, and the deliverables.
- Begins with
- A site survey and written assessment
- Commitment
- Only to the current stage
- Quotes
- Prepared for your site after the survey

Six services, in the order most projects follow
Each engagement begins with a short call and, where there is a fit, a survey of your site. You may stop after any stage, and each one delivers something of lasting use. Select a service to see its scope, what we require from you, and the deliverables.
- 01
A day on site, testing tags on your own assets and mapping where readers will and will not perform.
- 02
One area and one asset type, measured before and after, so results are judged in your own figures.
- 03
Tags applied, readers and gateways installed, and every tag linked to your existing records.
- 04
Your floor plans mapped, alert rules agreed with you, and every team trained.
- 05
Scheduled reporting, data exports, and integration with the business systems you already use.
- 06
Continuous monitoring, software updates, and prompt repair of any component that fails.
Site survey and assessment
A day on site to establish whether tracking will work for you, and what it would involve.
- What we do
- We survey the building with the staff who know how assets move, test tags on your own assets, map where readers will and will not perform, and record available power and network points.
- What you provide
- A knowledgeable contact for the day, floor plans where available, and a sample of the assets you intend to track.
- What you get
- A written assessment covering what to tag, where each reader belongs, which tag suits each asset, and any limitations, accompanied by a proposal.
Pilot
One area, one asset type, measured before and after.
- What we do
- We tag the assets in one room, department or line, install readers there, and configure uCAAT 2.0 for the staff who work in it. Before go-live we measure current performance, such as the time a count takes or how often assets go missing.
- What you provide
- A pilot area, a named contact, and a few weeks of normal operation.
- What you get
- Results in your own figures, and a clear decision point: stop, adjust the plan, or proceed to full rollout.
Tagging and installation
The physical installation, carried out by the team that surveyed your site.
- What we do
- We apply the tags or train your staff to do so, mount and cable the readers and gateways, and link every tag to your existing records, typically by importing your asset register.
- What you provide
- Access to the relevant areas, and your asset list or register.
- What you get
- Every tagged asset listed in uCAAT 2.0 with its current location, and a tag count verified against your records.
Platform setup and training
uCAAT 2.0, configured around the way your teams already work.
- What we do
- We map your rooms and zones onto your floor plans, agree the alert rules with you, and configure roles so each user sees what they need. Terminology is adapted to yours, so staff see "objects" or "tools" rather than "assets".
- What you provide
- The staff who will use the platform, and what each of them needs to see and do.
- What you get
- An account for each user, alert rules you have approved, and staff who are confident with the platform before go-live.
Reports and connections
Drawing on our background in data and reporting.
- What we do
- We build the weekly and monthly reports your managers require, set up spreadsheet exports, and integrate uCAAT 2.0 with your business systems, 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 integration work.
- What you get
- Reports delivered on schedule, with figures consistent across uCAAT 2.0 and your other systems.
Ongoing care
Continuous monitoring, so issues are resolved before they affect your staff.
- What we do
- We monitor every reader and gateway, warn you before tag batteries run low, keep the software current, repair or replace failed hardware, and respond to your team's support requests.
- What you provide
- An on-site contact who can grant access, or restart a reader if asked.
- What you get
- A monthly report on system health, movements and alerts, and a named support contact for your team.
How we prepare a quote
We do not publish prices. A single stockroom and a refinery are very different projects, and a standard price list would be accurate for almost no one.
The following factors shape a quote. An approximate view of each makes our first conversation more productive.
- The number of assets to track, and their materials; metal and liquids require specialised tags.
- The rooms, floors or sites involved, and the distances between them.
- Whether you require continuous room-level visibility, or reads only at doorways and during counts.
- Whether personnel are tracked for safety, and whether any area is classified as hazardous.
- The systems uCAAT 2.0 must integrate with.
- Whether the system is hosted by us or runs on a server within your facility.
Following the site survey, the proposal details every element of work and its cost, leaving nothing open.
When another approach is better suited
We would rather say so at the outset than partway through a project.
Vehicles in transit between sites
Our systems operate within buildings and across campuses. For vehicles travelling between locations, GPS tracking is the more appropriate tool.
Small, static inventories
For a few hundred assets that rarely move, barcode labels and a scanner may suffice, and the site assessment will say so.
A single stocktake
Where a one-time count is needed rather than ongoing tracking, a hired handheld and a stocktake team may be more suitable, and we will advise accordingly.
Very large immediate rollouts
We begin with one site or area and expand once the pilot has proved itself. For rollouts across hundreds of sites at once, we may not be the right size, and we will say so.
Begin with a site survey.
Outline what you need to track, the approximate quantities and the locations involved. We will propose a date for the survey, or explain why one is not warranted.
