When the manager does not know where the carts are, the store pays twice: in replacement and in hours lost on improvised searches.
Tracking with TAGs and a real-time map changes the game because it prioritizes what is out of pattern — parking lot, street or neighborhood — instead of sweeping the entire operation.
What to watch in practice
- Last signal and device battery before the asset drops off the radar.
- Geofence per store so you know what left the area without subjective interpretation.
- History that helps train the search team with shorter routes.
