RTLS Consulting for Indoor
Location Tracking &
Real-
Time Solutions
From ‘Receiving to Shipping’, our experts delve deep into your operations, culture, and
vision to uncover hidden RTLS opportunities that enhance efficiency and productivity.
The Vendor-Agnostic Advantage
Hardware vendors often promote their technology regardless of fit. Our RTLS consulting team reviews all major options and recommends what aligns with your operational needs, not vendor interests.
Why vendor-agnostic consulting matters: A UWB vendor will always recommend UWB. A BLE vendor will always recommend BLE. But your facility may require a hybrid approach. This could include UWB for high precision zones, BLE for cost effective general tracking, and Wi-Fi where existing infrastructure can be utilized.
We have seen healthcare organizations save USD 800K by using BLE instead of UWB for 70% of their assets where 3m accuracy was sufficient. We have also seen manufacturers lose USD 1.2M deploying Wi-Fi-based real time location services that struggled with metal interference when UWB was the appropriate choice.

Why RTLS Consulting Matters
Optimized Efficiency
Our consulting process identifies hidden inefficiencies in asset tracking, workforce management, and process optimization. We analyze workflows, reveal bottlenecks, and recommend RTLS-enabled improvements that reduce search time by 60%, eliminate manual tracking, and increase asset utilization by 35%.
Maximized ROI
RTLS projects often fail when ROI expectations are poorly defined. Our RTLS consulting services validate business cases with conservative projections based on real-world deployments. We help organizations achieve 18–24-month payback periods through reduced equipment purchases, labor savings, and improved throughput.
Strategic Planning
Technology selection without strategic planning leads to deployment challenges. We build phased implementation roadmaps that prioritize high-ROI use cases, minimize operational disruption, and provide clear success metrics for executive stakeholders.

Phase 01: Requirements Analysis
RTLS projects often fail due to vague accuracy requirements, undefined ROI targets, and unclear success metrics. As a location tracking consultancy, we replace guesswork with measurable, validated criteria that reflect your actual operational needs. Through structured workshops, we clarify objectives, map zone level accuracy needs, and establish realistic ROI expectations that guide technology selection and deployment planning with confidence.
Analysis Activities
- Stakeholder Interviews : Interviews across operations, IT, finance, and executive leadership to capture goals and constraints
- Current State Assessment : Review of workflows, pain points, and operational bottlenecks
- Use Case Prioritization : Ranking use cases based on business impact and technical feasibility
- Accuracy Requirement Mapping : Defining accuracy thresholds for each zone and application
Phase 02: Technology Selection
Choosing between UWB, BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, and vision-based RTLS technologies requires more than reviewing specifications. Real performance varies across environments, materials, interference levels, and accuracy needs. Our technology selection process evaluates each option objectively and matches capabilities to your operational requirements to avoid costly misalignment.
Selection Activities
- Technology Comparison: Side by side evaluation of UWB, BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, and vision-based RTLS technologies
- Accuracy vs. Cost Analysis: Assessment of accuracy needs, budget constraints, and performance trade-offs
- Infrastructure Assessment: Review of your existing network, power, and facility conditions to determine compatibility
- Hybrid Approach Evaluation: Analysis of blended combinations for the right balance of precision and cost efficiency
Phase 03: Vendor Evaluation
Vendor marketing often highlights accuracy, seamless integration, and proven ROI, but real performance varies widely. Our evaluation process cuts through promotional claims by assessing technical capability, long term costs, and deployment risk based on actual project experience. This ensures you select a vendor that aligns with your operational needs and long-term strategy.
Evaluation Activities
- Evaluation Activities: Technical Review: Detailed examination of accuracy, scalability, reliability, and integration readiness
- Cost Breakdown: Analysis of hardware, software, licensing, maintenance, and future growth costs
- Cost Breakdown: Analysis of hardware, software, licensing, maintenance, and future growth costs
- Vendor Stability Check: Assessment of financial health, product roadmap, and support maturity
- Deployment Reference Review: Validation through real world projects in similar environments
Phase 04: ROI Analysis
Vendor ROI calculators often claim returns of 200 to 400 percent based on ideal conditions. Our ROI analysis builds credible business cases using data from real deployments, validated assumptions, and conservative projections that hold up to executive scrutiny. This ensures financial alignment before technology investment.
Analysis Activities
- Time Savings Quantification : Measuring reductions in search time, travel distance, and manual effort
- Efficiency Modeling: Evaluating improvements in utilization, throughput, and cycle time
- Cost Reduction Review: Identifying savings in equipment, labor, and operational waste
- Risk Mitigation Assessment: Reviewing gains in safety, compliance, and quality
Phase 05: Testing & Data Collection
Technology selection is only the starting point. Our implementation roadmap converts strategic decisions into a structured action plan. We outline deployment phases, infrastructure needs, integration work, and change management steps to ensure a smooth rollout across your facility.
Roadmap Activities
- Phased Deployment Planning: Designing pilot, initial rollout, and enterprise expansion stages
- Infrastructure Design: Planning site surveys, anchor placement, and network requirements
- Integration Architecture: Defining APIs, data flows, and interoperability needs
- Change Management Planning: Preparing training, communication, and stakeholder engagement strategies
