Real Time Location System (RTLS) is a technological solution to locate/track assets and people in real-time. RTLS consists of Tags, Locations Sensors, Location Engine, Middle ware and Applications. The implementation and maintenance of such systems requires significant up front work, on going testing and user interaction. Our Agile RTLS Suite application solves several of the pain points with implementation and maintenance by bringing specifically designed tools into Tagging and Battery Management. This allows for a drastic increase in efficiency for a single user. Gone are the days of multiple devices, spreadsheets and people attempting to keep track of tagged items and which devices need batteries changed. Our app takes care of the tracking, reporting and syncing to allow the user to focus on getting work done.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Cool Guard at every 2 weeks against A's every 3 months. A's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 26.2). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
