TrollyNet gives supermarkets real-time visibility of every trolley - outdoors with GPS, indoors with BLE beacons, transmitted over LoRaWAN or 4G LTE. Finally, a complete picture.
The Problem
Without tracking, trolleys walk off with customers, get abandoned on streets, and pile up in neighbouring carparks - quietly draining thousands from your budget each year.
A single trolley costs $300–$600 to replace. Most large supermarkets lose dozens per year - a quiet but significant drain on margins.
GPS stops working the moment a trolley enters your store. Once inside, there's no way to know where trolleys are, or if they're where you need them.
Staff spend time hunting trolleys around the car park with no data to guide them. Routes are inefficient, coverage is inconsistent.
The Solution
TrollyNet layers three technologies to give you a full picture of every trolley, from the street outside to the checkout lane.
GPS modules on every trolley report location every 30 seconds - pinpointing trolleys in car parks, streets, and surrounding areas.
BLE beacons installed throughout the store detect trolley tags by zone - entrance, produce, checkout - where GPS can't reach.
Data transmits over LoRaWAN for low-power wide-area coverage, with 4G LTE as a fallback - ensuring no signal gap, ever.
All data feeds into your live dashboard. Set geofence boundaries and get instant alerts the moment a trolley leaves your property.
