Indoor geolocation: measurable ROI for your industrial site

Indoor geolocation is no longer just a solution for finding lost assets: it's a lever for industrial performance. With Wheere, you can turn invisible losses into measurable gains, while reducing the costs associated with heavy infrastructure. Find out how to quantify your savings and project the direct impact of our technology on your site.

As a site manager, innovation manager or operational manager, you face the same challenges every day: optimizing your assets and reducing lost time. Concrete issues that have a direct impact on your results and your site's overall performance.

Today, indoor geolocation is one of the most effective ways of meeting these challenges. It allows you to better control your assets and streamline your organization, without weighing down your systems.

With its disruptive technology, Wheere enables manufacturers to transform areas of loss into measurable gains. In this article, find out how Wheere can help you improve your site's return on investment (ROI).

Two operational levers to improve your site's performance

Financial leverage: identify and avoid asset losses

The first indicator is obvious: how much do lost or stolen assets cost every year?

Let's take a simple example: a company manages 1,500 items of equipment with a total value of €1 million. With an annual loss rate of 1%, that's €10,000 that evaporates every year.

With Wheere, these losses become avoidable. In addition to direct savings, the company gains budgetary visibility and reduces expenses linked to unforeseen replacements.

Organizational leverage: productivity and fluidity of operations

Indoor geolocation isn't just about "finding a lost asset". It's also a weapon against wasted time, one of the main sources of inefficiency in everyday life.

An operator wasting 10 minutes a day looking for a tool or piece of equipment is 36.7 hours a year. Multiply that by 50 operators, and you get 1,835 wasted hours a year.

With Wheere, these hours become useful time: more fluidity in processes, less operational friction, and a simplification of IT systems that often have to juggle several technologies in parallel.

CAPEX & OPEX: when simplicity reduces hidden costs

Today, manufacturers use an average of 3.6 indoor geolocation technologies to cover their needs. Result:

  • heavy installation, sometimes with hundreds of antennas and beacons,
  • high maintenance costs,
  • limited performance (white zones, finite tracking capacity).
 

All these constraints generate significant extra costs and hamper performance. With Wheere, the paradigm changes. 4 antennas are enough to cover 1 km², and the number of assets tracked is unlimited.

Less hardware means less CAPEX, less OPEX and a future-proof, scalable infrastructure. It also means less IT complexity for your teams.
