What are STARtags?
Assets rarely stay stationary for long in logistics. Parcels move through multiple hands, delivery vehicles are always on the road and trailers are moved to various yards between jobs. This constant movement can create confusion as to where each asset is and waste valuable time locating them.
STARtag is Netstar’s cargo tracker. It helps logistics companies and couriers maintain clear visibility over the assets that support their day-to-day operations. The STARtag range includes GPS trackers for packages, freight cages, trailers and vehicles, all designed to fit naturally into your working environment.
STARtags are compact, battery-powered GPS trackers for parcels, trailers and any other mobile physical assets used by your business.
Their small size and light weight allow them to be placed inside packages, attached to roll cages, secured in trailers or installed in hidden compartments of delivery vehicles. Once deployed, they provide consistent location visibility of each asset.
The STARtag range includes:
STARtag Trace: A slim, lightweight tracker ideal for parcels and returnable transport items, with 60 days of battery life.
STARtag Trace Plus: Designed for harsher freight environments with additional protection, with 12 months of battery life
STARtag Flex: Built for vehicle and mobile asset tracking with 2 years of battery life
STARtag Core: A compact solution for discreet asset monitoring with 3 years battery life.
STARtag Pulse: A rugged device for use in outdoor conditions with 5 years battery life.
