### More than location tracking

Pathfindr is an asset tracking platform. Use it for location plus condition and utilisation monitoring.

The portal is your tracking database. It stores data from your trackers.

You can use it to:

* Locate assets (indoor and GPS)
* Monitor temperature, humidity, and other environmental signals
* Track dwell time and movement
* Detect impacts
* Identify zone bottlenecks
