Samsara Inc. introduced the Samsara Tracking Label, a smart, single-use Bluetooth label that delivers near-real-time shipment visibility, powered by the Samsara Network.
The Tracking Label can be managed within Samsara’s new Shipment Center and Shipment App, which seamlessly plugs into an organization's existing infrastructure, regardless of shipping carrier.
"Our customers have been using asset tags to track critical shipments, and that works, but it's not purpose-built for cargo. What they've been asking for is a label they can slap on a box and walk away. That's exactly what the Tracking Label is,” says David Gal, VP of connected equipment at Samsara. “Unlike traditional barcode scanning that simply says 'departed facility,' the Samsara Network tells you exactly where that shipment is, hundreds of miles down the road. With AI-powered exceptions in the Shipment Center, a shipping manager can instantly see which shipments need attention, get ahead of delays, weather events, and proactively resolve issues before they reach the customer."
Key takeaways:
· The Tracking Label is an adhesive-backed, flexible, paper-thin label with a 45-day battery life after activation that contains no lithium or hazardous materials, making it cleared for air, ground, and rail shipments and suitable for disposal without special handling.
· Leveraging the new Shipment Center, supply chain teams can view mission-critical and high-value goods — from a single box to a shipment of pallets to a reel of copper wire — that have a Tracking Label on the dashboard and click into any shipment for deeper insight.
· Through the Shipment Center, operations teams can deter cargo theft and speed up resolution; get ahead of shipping delays and exceptions; extend coverage to cross-border shipments; improve customer experiences with quicker dispute resolution; and make better supply chain decisions with AI.
· The new Samsara Shipment App allows teams to activate the Tracking Label with a single tap, no hardware or manual entry required. Scan any barcode — a Bill of Lading, carrier tracking number, or warehouse license plate number — and the app automatically links it to the existing shipment ID.
