Plano-based Geoforce—a global leader in rugged and intrinsically safe asset intelligence solutions for industries operating in the world’s most demanding environments—has acquired AssetLink Global, an industry leader in remote monitoring systems and next-generation IoT services for military & defense, along with monitoring systems for rail, cold chain, tank level, and maritime vessels.

The acquisition grows Geoforce’s technical capabilities and industry coverage—particularly in secure satellite communications, intelligent sensor integrations, and defense-grade deployments—while strengthening the company’s mission to provide “reliable, real-time asset intelligence in the most hazardous and remote operating environments,” the company said.

“AssetLink Global is an exceptional strategic fit for Geoforce,” James MacLean III, CEO of Geoforce, said in a statement. “They bring world-class expertise in satellites, sensors, and industry depth that meaningfully expands our capabilities and reach.”

“Just as important,” he added, “we share a common mindset—curious, collaborative, and deeply committed to helping customers operate more efficiently in the field. Together, we’re better positioned than ever to serve the world’s most demanding industries.”

AssetLink Global was an early pioneer in the secure and affordable use of global satellite networks for asset visibility, offering such advanced sensor integration capabilities as door open/close, pressure, temperature, load, fluid level, and other condition-based sensors. Combining those features with advanced edge intelligence amplifies Geoforce’s modern, asset platform, the company said.

Combining sensors and software

AssetLink Global adds depth and expertise in a vast number of military & defense use cases as well as rail, maritime, oil & gas, and transportation, Geoforce said. Its solutions support logistics tracking, military logistics, unattended sensor monitoring, offshore vessel supply operations, and tank-level and other condition-based monitoring situations.

Geoforce’s “indestructible” tracking devices and modern, intuitive, and robust SaaS fleet management platform support construction, equipment rental, mining, oil & gas, and rail operations by enabling efficient asset location and retrieval, rental invoice auditing, service delivery verification, inspection compliance, and equipment maintenance alerts. Geoforce said that the combined company will continue to innovate in support of the most demanding operations in the harshest environments.

“Geoforce and AssetLink Global have worked together for years, and this combination is a natural fit,” said David Goldstein, CEO of AssetLink Global. “We share a common vision for connecting assets, improving operational efficiency, and delivering reliable asset knowledge in complex, real-world environments. Joining forces allows us to deliver greater customer value by combining AssetLink’s renowned hardware and sensor capabilities with Geoforce’s best-in-class asset-centric software platform.”

AssetLink Global will continue to be led by Goldstein and will operate within the Geoforce family so that customers benefit from expanded technical resources, improved capabilities, and an overall commitment to service and reliability, the company said.
