Fastek has begun carrying a number of GPS trackers designed to help our customers prevent theft.

We know how important your equipment and vehicles are to your livelihood, and the only thing more damaging to a contractor than personal injury is losing the tools they depend on to get the job done.

We like to think of GPS trackers as safety equipment; in the same way that you use a pair of safety glasses or a harness to prevent injury to yourself, a GPS tracking device prevents injury to your wallet by saving you the time you’d lose dealing with the theft, the time lost on the job site, or by saving you the cost of the physical items stolen.

Every year, incidents of theft in Ontario climb. In 2019 alone, there were over 40,000 incident reports of theft over $5,000 and motor vehicle theft combined. That means up to 40,000 residents of this province were victims of a serious theft at some point in 2019, and each year, that number increases.

Less than 7% of these perpetrators were caught and charged. How many of those incidents do you think resulted in the property being returned?

If you’ve invested your hard-earned money in something like a vehicle or a trailer full of tools, don’t rely on insurance – prevent theft entirely with a hidden GPS tracker. We have a number of trackers designed to alert you the moment your property moves or is tampered with.

If you’re subscribed to a monthly tracking plan and your property is stolen, WhereSafe customer service will work with the police in real-time to help locate and recover it for you at no extra charge, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can sleep peacefully knowing your investment is protected.
