Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about RTLS Pilot Programs.
How long does the pilot program typically last?
Most RTLS pilots run 4 to 8 weeks, depending on facility size and use cases. This duration allows us to complete full RTLS testing, including accuracy validation, reliability assessment, workflow evaluation, and user feedback collection. By the end of the pilot, you receive a detailed report comparing actual results to your success criteria.
How does the pilot help evaluate different real-time location software options?
An RTLS pilot gives you objective performance data that helps you compare different real time location software and hardware combinations in your actual environment. We validate accuracy, reliability, workflow fit, and integration performance so you can make an informed decision about which vendor solution best meets your requirements. Our role is to provide unbiased testing, not to promote a specific platform.
How disruptive is the installation process for our operations?
We follow a quick install RTLS approach designed to minimize business disruption. Hardware such as anchors and readers is installed during low-impact hours, and configuration work happens in parallel with your normal operations. Most pilots can be deployed with little to no downtime, ensuring continuous productivity.
What RTLS technologies do you support?
We evaluate and support multiple RTLS technologies such as UWB, BLE, WiFi, LoRa, and vision-based systems. Our process goes far beyond a simple RTLS demo by validating real accuracy, environmental performance, and integration to fit inside your actual facility. This ensures you choose the right technology for your use case.
What if we want to end the pilot early?
You may end the pilot at any time with no financial penalty. All collected data, insights, and findings remain on yours, giving you valuable clarity about the next steps. This can help you assess future options, whether that includes scaling with us or evaluating real time location software alternatives in the market.
How do you ensure the pilot delivers accurate results?
We follow a structured methodology that includes accuracy measurement, reliability monitoring, environmental analysis, integration testing, user acceptance evaluation, and ROI modeling. These steps ensure the pilot reflects true operational performance rather than lab conditions. Every result is backed by real operational data, not assumptions.
Do we need to purchase equipment before starting the pilot?
No purchase is required. All hardware used during the pilot is provided as part of the pilot program, so you can evaluate performance before making any long-term commitments. This allows you to experience full functionality without upfront cost or ownership risk.
