How the solution works<\/strong><\/td>The solution integrates within an asset location and monitoring workflow. When an asset is detected, the business can leverage mobile network data to help detect misplacement and unauthorised use.

By combining data from the following APIs, the system can support analysis of tracked asset

Device Swap: <\/strong>The API checks if the SIM associated with this asset has been moved to a new device, which can indicate potential fraud
Device Geofencing: <\/strong>The API monitors if a tracked asset has moved outside of a pre-define area, which can indicate potential theft
Device Location Retrieval:<\/strong> The API identifies if a tracked asset is within the provided area, which can indicate potential misplacement<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
