Collect geolocation of laptop through GLPI, Fusion or OCS Inventory

Dear members,

Greetings from Brazil! 

I need collect location of 300 laptops that we have in our company, that work remotely by default.

We have employers working remotely in Brazil and 5 more countries.

If possible collect city, state and country, its can help us a lot.

If possible collect latitude and longitude, its so better!

Into GLPI, i found that localization static resource:

I have 3 questions:

1) Could be possible collect location through Fusion or OCS ?
2) Could be possible collect location dynamically, i.e., when remote employer move to other city/country, inventario collect a new location?
3) The better tool for collect would be GLPI, Fusion or OCS inventory?

Re: Collect geolocation of laptop through GLPI, Fusion or OCS Inventory

None of those solutions collects/tracks/stores realtime geolocation data from devices. No plugin does either except technically the Jamf plugin which pulls that data from a Jamf management server if the device is in lost mode (not relevant here).
