Deployment, privacy, devices, and pilots—quick answers below.
1. What hardware does Forager require?
Forager Mobile runs on standard Android devices with Wi-Fi/BLE radios. Optional “Lighthouse” ESP32 sensors provide zone presence at choke-points—no proprietary tags required.
2. How does privacy work?
We support hashing/rotation for MAC addresses and never collect cellular identifiers. Explainable scoring and export options enable audits without exposing raw personal data.
3. Can operators work offline?
Yes. The mobile app queues captures and updates locally with reliable retries. Operators can complete tasks even with spotty connectivity.
4. How fast is a typical update?
Most asset location updates are completed in ≤ 2 taps from the Forage screen—often under five seconds—thanks to passive RF pre-matching and one-tap confirm.
5. What does a pilot look like?
A 90-day pilot across 3–5 zones. We baseline your current MTTL and adherence, implement just-in-time nudges, and measure locate-in-two-minutes. Results drive a scale plan.
6. How do we export data?
Exports are available in JSON and HTML for audits and BI integrations. Row-Level Security keeps multi-tenant data isolated by company.
