## Buyer Intent Signals
Problems: Manual inventory/asset checks: Physically tracking assets through barcode scanning, visual checks, or human reporting, lacking real-time data and prone to errors. | No dedicated asset tracking: Continue operations without specific technology for tracking assets, leading to inefficiencies, increased losses, and a lack of real-time visibility.
Solutions: LoRa Cloud asset tracking solutions | Semtech LoRaWAN geolocation partners | Low power IoT tracking technology | Cellular IoT solutions: Utilize cellular networks (e.g., LTE-M, NB-IoT) for asset tracking, which may offer higher bandwidth but typically at higher power consumption compared to LoRaWAN. | GPS-only trackers: Rely solely on GPS for outdoor positioning, often requiring more power and lacking robust indoor tracking capabilities without additional technologies.
