Question 1

How do the Bluetooth tags find my stolen kit without a SIM?

Accepted Answer

Each Localizit tag quietly broadcasts a private ID. Any phone that comes within range — a passing car on the lane, someone at the feed merchant, a driver at the filling station — relays that signal back to the Localizit network anonymously. With millions of phones doing this across the country, the moment your quad or tool box is moved and passes anyone, you usually get a fix within minutes, and nobody (not even the phone's owner) is any the wiser.

Question 2

Won't the thief's phone warn them a tracker is on board?

Accepted Answer

No. Apple's anti-stalking system looks for particular tracker protocols, AirTag's being the best known. Localizit uses a separate private broadcast that those warnings don't pick up, so the tag stays invisible even sitting in the cab of a stolen vehicle or the bed of a pickup.

Question 3

Why not just stick an AirTag in the quad?

Accepted Answer

AirTags are made for consumers finding their own keys and bags, and they deliberately announce themselves to nearby people to prevent stalking — which also tips off a thief. Localizit is built for high-value rural and commercial assets: covert by design, with geofencing, multi-yard workspaces, AI theft detection and a reporting trail that consumer trackers simply don't give you.

Question 4

When should I fit a 4G GPS tracker rather than a BLE tag?

Accepted Answer

Two situations. First, when you need live, continuous position no matter who's nearby — say a high-value telehandler or a machine you'd send a recovery team after immediately. Second, when the asset normally lives somewhere with barely any passing traffic, like a trailer on an outlying field. For kit that spends its life around the yard, workshop or village, BLE crowd-tracking costs less and the battery lasts far longer.

Question 5

How long do the Bluetooth tag batteries last?

Accepted Answer

Anywhere from months to years depending on the tag. The bigger capsule and cable versions go longest; the slim sticker and card ones give up a little life in exchange for being easier to hide. Cyril warns you when a battery is fading, so you can swap it before the tag drops off the map.

Question 6

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Localizit is a tiered subscription. Starter is £29/month for up to 10 tags, Pro is £49/month for up to 30 tags (the popular choice for most farms and estates), and Business is £149/month for up to 150 tags with priority support and white-label options. The tags and 4G trackers are bought separately in packs — and on the BLE side that's a one-off cost with no ongoing data fee.

Question 7

Can it sit alongside my existing GPS tracking?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Localizit's webhook ingest takes feeds from third-party BLE and GPS / cellular trackers, and the dashboard API plus the "just ask Cyril" interface let you pull positions into your own systems. Estate managers and contractors often use this to bring AirTag-style tags, plant GPS and Localizit BLE together under one private map.

Question 8

Can I try it before committing?

Accepted Answer

Yes — there's a free starter tier so you can buy a handful of tags, set up your private dashboard and prove it works on your own yard before scaling up. The beta and waiting-list cohorts are the usual way trade and estate customers get started.
