Viloc

Originally a Belgian company founded in 2010, Viloc specialized in developing tracking devices to help recover lost and stolen items. In June 2023, the assets of Viloc N.V. were acquired by Allsetra, a provider of anti-theft solutions based in Amersfoort, Netherlands. This acquisition integrated Viloc's low-power asset tracking technologies into Allsetra's portfolio, enhancing its research and development capabilities and expanding its market presence, particularly in the micromobility sector for e-scooters and e-bikes.

The core product is a small, wireless tracking tag, such as the Viloc Tag, which operates on a long-life battery (3-5 years) and is designed for assets without their own power source, like tools, construction equipment, and vehicles. These tags communicate via radio frequency and the KPN LoRaWAN network to provide location data, viewable on a web portal and mobile app. The system is built for clients in industries such as construction, equipment rental, and agriculture. It offers features like 24/7 monitoring through an alarm service center, theft recovery services, geofencing alerts, and the ability to generate reports on asset usage and operating hours. The business model relies on selling the tracking hardware and complementary yearly subscription plans for data access, monitoring services, and use of the management platform.
