What do you want to track?
Companies and organisations come to wunderwerk from four starting points: machines and tools, people in care, vehicles and logistics, or a tracking platform of their own. Every tracking solution starts with two questions: what needs to be found where, and who may see the data?
“Every week we search for equipment that really ought to be here.”
Asset trackers with GPS, LoRaWAN or Bluetooth report location and movement, even on large factory sites and construction sites without mobile coverage. You see on a map what is where, and get an alert when a device leaves its zone.
“Our residents should move about freely without us having to search for them for long in an emergency.”
For care homes, support services and social institutions: wearable GPS or LoRaWAN trackers whose location is only requested when there is a legitimate reason. Every request is logged, and the data stays in-house. That is how it has worked for years at Innsbrucker Soziale Dienste.
“Where is the forklift, and when will the delivery arrive?”
Track forklifts, vans and deliveries in real time and analyse trips and usage times, without a cloud provider in between. Position data and usage logs stay under your control and flow straight into your ERP or control room.
“The off-the-shelf tracker app doesn’t fit our processes, and our data must not leave the building.”
We build the software that brings your trackers, gateways and sensors together: your own interface, roles via LDAP or Active Directory, integrations with ERP, emergency software and intranet. On-premise or in your private cloud, offline-capable if required.
Where your own tracking solution pays off
A tracking solution of your own pays off above all in six areas: care and support, factory sites, tools and construction machinery, vehicles, hospitals and events. wunderwerk chooses the radio technology according to site, building and battery life.
Tracking software that has been running for years
For Innsbrucker Soziale Dienste GmbH we developed an intranet solution that gives people in need of care more freedom of movement. In an emergency, it determines the person’s location via GPS or LoRaWAN devices.
- Self-hosted on the intranet
All data stays on the organisation’s own servers.
- Location requests only with a reason
Every request is logged and traceable.
- In use at several facilities
A client for over 7 years, version 2 is in progress.
“Our requirements were implemented perfectly, and the GPS tracking system has now been in successful use at several of our facilities for a number of years.” Andreas Flöck, Head of IT Project Management, Innsbrucker Soziale Dienste GmbH
How we build your tracking solution
A tracking project with wunderwerk runs in five steps: initial consultation, workshop and concept, a pilot in 4 to 6 weeks, rollout, then operation and further development. Test first, then roll out: before you buy a hundred trackers, a pilot with real devices on your site shows you how accurate and reliable the tracking is.
- 1
Initial consultation
30 minutes with the Managing Director: what needs to be tracked, where, how often, and who may see the data? You get an honest assessment of which radio technology is suitable and whether a bespoke solution is worthwhile. Free and non-binding.
- 2
Workshop & concept
We clarify use cases, site and buildings, radio technology and hardware, the data protection and permissions concept, and the integration with your systems. The result: a concept with a cost framework on which you base your decision.
- 3
Pilot in 4 to 6 weeks
The first trackers, your own gateway if needed, and working software on your infrastructure. You test in live operation, check range, accuracy and battery life, and decide based on results.
- 4
Rollout & integration
Expansion to all devices and locations, integration with LDAP or Active Directory, ERP, control room or emergency software. We train your team in use and administration.
- 5
Operation & further development
Maintenance, updates and new devices or features as needed. Software that lasts: your tracking solution stays maintainable and operable for years.
AI writes code. We build software.
Thanks to wunderOS and our wunderFactory.
AI has opened up programming to everyone: anyone can put a prototype together today. Whether it turns into software that holds up in day-to-day operation is decided afterwards – in architecture, security, testing and maintenance over the years. That is exactly where prompting and real expertise part ways.
That is why we built our own operating system: wunderOS runs our company from sales to development. At its heart is the wunderFactory, where our AI agents, the wunderBots, build to the architecture rules, standards and tests from 20 years of software development – led by experienced software architects.
The result is software built noticeably faster and more affordably – in the quality you hire us for. We are AI experts and use that to get the best out of your project.
More software for the same budget
The wunderBots handle the routine work. You pay for architecture, decisions and results – not for legwork.
Live in weeks, not months
From the workshop to the first usable version, with changes after that in days. You see early on what works.
Quality is built in, not bolted on
Tests, reviews and security checks run automatically in the wunderFactory with every change – not just when there is time.
Architects, not prompters
The AI executes, we decide: data model, interfaces, operations. That way your software stays maintainable and extensible five years from now.
Bottom line: Bespoke software on terms that make sense for SMEs too – built with AI, with software architects accountable for it.
Thank you very much!
I will get back to you as soon as possible!

Location data that stays in-house
A tracking solution from wunderwerk can run entirely on your own infrastructure: no forced cloud, no third-party APIs, no data leaving your hands. That matters because location data shows where people and assets are.
For us as a team from Austria, that is the norm: EU & GDPR first.
- On-premise or private cloud
Servers, database and your own LoRaWAN network run under your control. No external cloud provider is needed.
- LDAP and Active Directory
Sign-in with existing accounts, roles and groups from your directory. When staff change, permissions update automatically, and accounts are not maintained twice.
- Access control and audit logging
Location requests only for a legitimate reason, every access is logged in full, and transmission is encrypted.
- Offline-capable and easy to integrate
The system keeps working locally when the internet goes down and synchronises afterwards. Integrations with ERP, control rooms, emergency software and intranet.
LoRaWAN, GPS or Bluetooth: which fits?
The right technology depends on where tracking takes place, how often a device transmits and how long the battery has to last. We select trackers, gateways and sensors for your use case and combine them where needed.
| Technology | Best for | Infrastructure |
|---|---|---|
| LoRaWAN | Factory sites and construction sites; devices that transmit rarely and run long on one battery | Your own gateways, no SIM per device |
| GPS & cellular | Vehicles and devices that travel far beyond your site | No radio network of your own, one SIM per device |
| Bluetooth, UWB | Indoor positioning in halls, clinics and care homes, where GPS barely works | Beacons or receivers in the building |
Personal trackers
Compact devices with an emergency button and GPS and LoRaWAN support, e.g. Abeeway Micro Tracker, Oyster3 GPS or Quectel LC79D.
Asset trackers
Long-life trackers for tools, machines or containers, e.g. Dragino LGT-92, Digital Matter Yabby Edge or RAK7200, via GPS, LoRaWAN, cellular or BLE.
Beacons & sensors
Beacons for indoor positioning, plus temperature, motion and door/window sensors for smart building and industrial applications.
Not just clients. Partners.
We focus on long-term partnerships. You stay flexible thanks to open standards and clear documentation.

Why us?
What else is on your mind?
Many projects touch more than one topic. Here are the other areas in which we support businesses.
Ready for a tracking solution on your own servers?
Whether it’s a first idea or a concrete use case: in a 30-minute initial consultation we clarify which radio technology fits, what a pilot looks like and how your data stays in-house.
Frequently asked questions about tracking solutions
Your question isn’t here? We’ll answer it directly with the Managing Director in a free initial consultation.
What is a self-hosted or on-premise tracking solution?
A self-hosted tracking solution runs entirely on your own infrastructure instead of in a tracker vendor’s cloud. Servers, database and analytics sit in your data centre or private cloud, and the location data never leaves your organisation. wunderwerk develops such solutions with their own interface, roles and audit logging, tailored to your processes.
How much does a bespoke tracking solution cost?
The cost of a bespoke tracking solution from wunderwerk depends mainly on four things: the number and type of trackers, radio technology and coverage (such as your own LoRaWAN gateways), the scope of the software, and integrations with your systems. The initial consultation is free; after that, wunderwerk gives you a transparent cost framework before every step, and you start with a pilot rather than a large-scale project. With your own LoRaWAN network there are no ongoing SIM costs. You can get a first estimate via the cost calculator.
LoRaWAN or GPS with cellular: which is better?
Neither is better across the board: LoRaWAN suits devices on your own site, GPS with cellular suits devices that travel far. LoRaWAN is an energy-efficient, long-range radio network, ideal for devices that send data rarely and should run for a long time on one battery; with your own gateways you operate your own network. GPS with cellular needs no radio network of your own, but one SIM per device. Inside buildings, Bluetooth beacons or UWB are added. wunderwerk chooses the technology according to site, building, transmission frequency and battery life, and combines them where needed.
Which GPS and LoRaWAN trackers can be used?
Depending on the use case, wunderwerk uses personal trackers with an emergency button, asset trackers for tools, machines and containers, vehicle trackers, and gateways and sensors for temperature, motion or opening. Examples include Abeeway Micro Tracker, Oyster3 GPS, Dragino LGT-92, Digital Matter Yabby Edge and RAK7200, with Kerlink Wirnet iStation, Milesight UG65 or Dragino DLOS8 as gateways. wunderwerk integrates the devices into your own network without passing data to third parties.
Does tracking also work inside buildings?
Yes, tracking works inside buildings with the right radio technology. GPS barely works indoors, so for indoor positioning wunderwerk uses Bluetooth Low Energy beacons, UWB (ultra-wideband), RFID or Wi-Fi RTT, depending on the accuracy required, for example in hospitals, care homes or production halls. LoRaWAN is well suited to transmitting data out of complex building structures.
Can people tracking be GDPR-compliant?
Yes, people tracking can be GDPR-compliant if purpose, legal basis and access are properly defined, and the technology helps with that. wunderwerk builds tracking solutions so that all data stays on your servers, location requests are only made for a legitimate reason, every access is logged in full and roles are controlled via LDAP or Active Directory. You clarify the legal assessment of your use case, for instance when tracking employees, with your data protection officer; we provide the technical measures.
How do LDAP integration and offline operation work?
The wunderwerk tracking platform uses your existing user directory (LDAP or Microsoft Active Directory): employees sign in with their usual account, roles and groups determine who may see which locations, and when staff change, permissions update automatically. If required, the system keeps working locally without an internet connection and synchronises the cached data automatically afterwards; mobile tracking apps also buffer positions when the signal is weak.
Who runs and maintains the tracking solution?
The tracking solution runs on your servers or in your private cloud, and wunderwerk takes care of maintenance, updates and further development on request, such as new devices or features. We train your team in use and administration. Innsbrucker Soziale Dienste GmbH shows that this holds up over years: a client for over seven years, with version 2 in progress.
Why not just use Traccar, ThingsBoard or a tracker subscription?
In many cases an off-the-shelf platform such as Traccar or ThingsBoard is enough, and wunderwerk will tell you so in the initial consultation. A bespoke solution from wunderwerk pays off when tracking is part of a process: when roles, audit logging and reason checks are mandatory, when data needs to flow into ERP, control room or emergency software, when several radio technologies come together, or when the interface has to fit your team and not the other way round.
How quickly can a tracking project start?
At wunderwerk, first working prototypes or pilot installations are usually possible within 4 to 6 weeks. We start with an initial consultation and workshop, define goals and use case, and then implement the pilot with real devices, step by step and transparently.
Is there funding for tracking and IoT projects?
Yes, digitalisation projects in Austria, Germany and Switzerland are funded through various programmes, depending on country, region, company size and project. wunderwerk carries out an initial funding check with you and shows which options are available for your project. The easiest way is in a free initial consultation.
Why wunderwerk for tracking solutions?
wunderwerk builds tracking software that has been running in day-to-day use for years: the GPS tracking system for Innsbrucker Soziale Dienste is in use at several facilities, and we have been working together for over seven years. We are also currently developing a GPS tracking app for hard enduro races. wunderwerk is a small, well-coordinated team in Tyrol, Salzburg, Vienna and Berlin with over 20 years of project experience and more than 80 custom software projects. You speak directly with the Managing Director and get concept, software, integration and operation from a single source.
