Primary GPS units are great for day to day fleet tracking, but they face clear physical limits during a theft attempt. Because they are usually hardwired into a battery or plugged directly into an OBD2 port, thieves can locate and disconnect them in minutes.
On top of physical destruction, primary trackers rely heavily on clear sky access and strong mobile network signals. If a stolen asset is driven into an underground car park, a concrete warehouse, a tunnel or a regional dead zone, the main tracker stops sending location updates. Once the signal drops, your security team is left completely in the dark.
This is where a dedicated secondary tracker changes the game. Biztags offer a low cost, highly reliable backup layer that takes over the moment your primary tracking system fails, gets disconnected or loses satellite connection.
Because Biztags carry their own internal battery lasting three years or more, they do not require any connection to vehicle power. Nor do they rely on GPS and a clear view of the sky. They sit quietly in the background, completely independent of your main electrical systems. Without power wires or external antennas, you can conceal a Biztag in unexpected spots across your asset.
A key advantage of Biztags is their built-in hibernation mode feature. You can keep the tag in a low energy sleeping state until the exact moment you need it.
If an asset is reported stolen or your main tracker goes offline, you can activate the device with the simple press of a button. This hibernation feature keeps the unit completely dormant, keeping the tag hidden until an emergency occurs.
When managing fleets of high value machinery, site trailers, luxury vehicles or any other type of larger business asset, relying on a single backup tag might not be enough. Deploying a multi Biztag strategy gives you additional chances to recover stolen property.
By placing two or even three concealed Biztags across a single asset, you create a layered security defence. If a thief discovers one backup tag and removes it, they will usually assume the asset is clean and stop searching. Meanwhile, your secondary hidden Biztag continues reporting its position in the background.
Adding backup trackers to your fleet will not slow down your business operations. Biztags require no professional installation or expensive auto electrician fees. Thanks to magnetic bases, your team can secure backup tags across dozens of assets in minutes.
You do not need to replace your current tracking setup either. Biztags integrate directly into your existing tracking software using custom endpoints, or you can manage them centrally through Biztag Manager. Your team continues using the dashboard they already know while enjoying an extra layer of protection.
For distributors, Biztags offer a high-margin add-on product that pairs naturally with any existing tracking catalogue. Adding covert backup tags to your wholesale or retail range gives your business several clear commercial advantages:
A primary GPS tracker is a great first line of defence, but it should never be your only line of defence. Pairing a visible main tracker with a covert, silent Biztag backup ensures that even if a thief cuts power or blocks satellite signals, your assets remain visible and recoverable.
