What is FORMATION
Real-time location intelligence for physical operations
FORMATION provides a live operational map of assets, locations, and activity for physical operations. Start with barcode and QR workflows and add RTLS where continuous visibility and higher precision are needed.
- Low-cost scale: use QR code and barcode scanner workflows to track millions of assets.
- Barcode + UWB precision: use UWB-enabled scanning where precision matters.
- Automated RTLS updates: equip high-value assets with RTLS tags to automate location updates where it matters most.
- Hybrid + hierarchical tracking: use high-precision RTLS for the assets that matter most and ultra-scalable tracking for everything else, from batches and pallets to containers, boxes, and individual items.
RTLS without upfront risk: an OpEx model that pays for itself in weeks to months.
You can only optimise what you can see
Distance and uncertainty create hidden cost
Some of our larger customers run tens or hundreds of thousands of square meters per site. Keeping track of everything across that space is hard.
The upside is clear when visibility improves:
- Workers spend more than 5% of their time searching.
- Throughput drops when space is not used well.
- Cycle times grow when location is uncertain.
- Buffering critical supplies and over-ordering creates waste.
FORMATION makes movement visible so teams can remove the waste.
Track → Trace → Trigger
Track where things are. Trace what happened. Trigger what happens next.
Track
Trace
Tracking is not just about where things are. It is about where they have been.
See who moved what, when, and why. Build a clear record for insights, audits, and improvement.
Trigger
See movement live and act on it.
FORMATION lets you define zones, rules, and conditions that make movements actionable. Use zone-based tracking, geofencing indoors, and location-based alerts to trigger tasks and system updates in real time.
Loved by workers
An awesome user experience that teams actually adopt
The FORMATION app is designed for the people who use it every day. It opens instantly on any phone, feels familiar, and keeps work simple.
Scan QR Codes to interact with things around you. Identify assets, update their metadata, attach a photo, leave a comment. Search for what you need, and navigate to where you are needed with indoor navigation software. No training, no app installs, just a Map-first experience workers enjoy.
- Map-first user experience that feels like a modern consumer app.
- QR Code entry points for instant access.
- Search and indoor navigation software that work indoors and outdoors.
Return on investment
Unlock capacity you already paid for
Unlock capacity you already paid for and recover time, budget, and control with live visibility of assets and spaces.

Where it matters most
Defence
Current geopolitical realities have shifted priorities from long-term planning to immediate readiness. Defence organizations face unprecedented demand, where delivery speed and maintenance throughput directly impact capability.
Modernizing logistics and maintenance operations is now a practical way to scale readiness. Teams that gain real-time insight into movement, assets, and bottlenecks can scale output faster, adapt under pressure, and stay ahead.
Manufacturing
Manufacturers are under pressure to deliver more with the same footprint. Demand volatility, supply chain disruptions, and rising costs make efficiency gains harder to find. They are more valuable than ever.
Teams that understand how work actually flows can remove bottlenecks, reduce search time, and unlock hidden capacity. Teams that modernize early build a durable advantage as operational visibility becomes standard.
Logistics
Global logistics has become less predictable and more time-critical. Congestion, delays, and disruptions show why resilient operations depend on live movement data.
Organizations investing in real-time visibility can stabilize flow, improve utilization, and react faster when conditions change. As logistics networks modernize, seeing movement live is now expected.
Proven in high-stakes environments
Defence-grade outcomes, industrial scale
- Hybrid Tracking across large maintenance sites with QR Codes and BLE.
- Search, audit, and Insights tools that surface bottlenecks early.
- Demonstrated gains in throughput and team productivity in defence maintenance programmes.
The interactive map from FORMATION was a wonderful and highly intuitive application for the guests of the Berliner Hoffest des Regierenden Bürgermeisters 2025. The clear presentation of the grounds and comprehensive information about our exhibitors and partners contributed significantly to better orientation on the festival grounds. Thank you for the uncomplicated and pleasant cooperation.
The Cyber Innovation Hub of the German federal forces uses FORMATION to organise the work environment to boost vehicle maintenance and logistical processes.
The location integration layer where everything comes together on the map.
Wow! I have never seen a product make such impact in such a short time.
The product showed us just how many areas FORMATION can help us with its solution.
