ROI (Return on Investment) with RTLS

Measurable benefits in the short term, long-term value in sight

Companies that implement real-time location systems benefit from clear, measurable improvements.
The return on investment with RTLS often begins within months—because the first use case quickly saves time, cost, and resources.

RTLS works best where processes are repetitive, time-critical, or cost-sensitive.
That’s where it creates direct value and opens the door to long-term optimisation.


How ROI (Return on Investment) with RTLS is achieved

In most cases, the initial use case amortises the investment in under a year.
After that, you can scale the system to support new use cases—some smaller or harder to measure, but still valuable.

Here are some areas where companies already see ROI through RTLS:

1. Inventory management

RTLS automates the tracking of stock levels.
This leads to faster location of goods, better ordering decisions, and more accurate forecasts.
Overstock and shortages are reduced.

2. Healthcare

Track assets, staff, and patients in real time.
RTLS supports hygiene documentation, improves equipment usage, and enhances patient safety.
Process efficiency increases, while risks decrease.

3. Manufacturing

Locate materials, tools, and machines instantly.
Improve MES integration, reduce delays, and ensure compliance with safety rules.
You use fewer resources and get more output.

4. Retail

Guide customers and tailor offers based on location.
RTLS can improve in-store experiences and product availability.
This boosts satisfaction and sales.
