About
Capturs is a professional GPS tracking platform built on Sigfox ultra-long range technology, designed to help companies and individuals monitor the real-time location of vehicles, equipment, tools, trailers, and people. The solution is engineered to be profitable within six months through fuel savings, equipment rationalization, theft reduction, and fewer customer disputes. The platform supports a wide range of professional use cases including construction site equipment monitoring, professional vehicle fleet supervision, supply chain and logistics tracking, agricultural machinery management, nautical fleet oversight, workforce monitoring, and even beehive theft detection. For individuals, Capturs covers long-distance sports tracking, cars, motorcycles, boats, and more. Capturs GPS trackers are standalone or wired, install in under five minutes, and connect to an intuitive web and mobile interface where users can view trajectories, positions, stops, speeds, temperatures, and addresses. The reporting engine generates weekly or monthly activity summaries exportable as lists, tables, or graphs. Key differentiators include customizable geofence zone alerts, suspected theft notifications, schedule deviation warnings, and fuel expense management tools. The solution is positioned as an affordable all-in-one alternative for VSEs, SMEs, public administrations, and large enterprises seeking enterprise-grade fleet and asset intelligence without complexity.
Key Features

- Activity Reports & Analytics: Generate detailed reports on movements, stops, speeds, addresses, and fuel usage by day, week, or month — exportable as lists, tables, or graphs.
- Instant SMS & Email Alerts: Configure custom alerts for movement, immobility, suspected theft, schedule deviations, or geofence zone entries and exits.
- Geofencing & Zone Management: Define virtual barriers and receive automatic notifications when assets enter or leave designated areas, helping prevent unauthorized use.
- Multi-Sector Applicability: Pre-adapted tracking configurations for construction, logistics, agriculture, nautical fleets, workforce management, and individual use cases.
Use Cases
- A logistics company monitors its truck fleet in real time, analyzing routes and reducing unauthorized detours to cut fuel costs.
- A construction firm tracks expensive equipment and power tools across multiple job sites, receiving instant alerts if assets are moved after hours.
- An agricultural cooperative manages shared tractors and trailers, automating usage logs and preventing equipment from going missing during peak harvest season.
- A boat rental operator creates geofence zones around a marina and receives alerts when vessels leave the permitted area without authorization.
- A beekeeping association attaches Capturs trackers to hives in remote locations, receiving immediate SMS notifications if any hive is moved — indicating a potential theft.
