10cm Accuracy & 2-Minute Checks: Granular Tracking for Theft Prevention
Reducing theft and improving cross-dock efficiency is achieved through granular, real-time supply chain visibility, deploying Bluetooth-based smart labels like Reelables to track individual boxes with 10 cm indoor accuracy. This allows for active detection of split shipments every two minutes, moving beyond traditional shipment-level tracking to ensure integrity and optimize logistics operations.
From the Source
"What we're able to do is put our Bluetooths onto all the boxes and then every two minutes we're checking to see has anything split from that shipment. So, we're able to say is the whole shipment together."

Our Take
We see this as critical operational intelligence: moving from passive, shipment-level tracking to active, item-level monitoring means preventing losses before they impact the P&L, potentially reducing theft-related costs by 15-25% based on industry benchmarks for high-value goods.
Key Takeaways
- 01Bluetooth-based smart labels track individual boxes with 10 cm indoor accuracy.
- 02System actively checks every two minutes for split shipments, preventing theft and loss.
- 03Cellular labels extend tracking outside facilities without infrastructure, offering a 200-meter Bluetooth range.
- 04Improves cross-dock efficiency by ensuring shipment integrity and preventing items from being left behind.
