For years, supply chain and logistics operators have accepted a persistent "black hole": the moment assets leave the warehouse, visibility vanishes. Traditional tracking often requires expensive, fixed infrastructure that simply can't follow a package every step of the way.

In the video below, we demonstrate how Blecon augments the human workforce. By turning Zebra handhelds and everyday devices your team already carries into secure gateways, we turn your workers into a global data network. As they move, they provide digital visibility to the physical environment, giving every worker a digital "partner" that captures the data that matters.

Two ways to close the logistics visibility gap

Supply chain requirements vary. Whether you need ultra-low-cost tracking for thousands of items or a guaranteed audit trail for sensitive cargo, Blecon provides a purpose-built solution.

1. Cloud-Connected Bluetooth labels: Real-time asset tracking

Our BLE Smart Labels are designed to move with your goods. These ultra-thin, disposable stickers bring wireless intelligence to your entire inventory. Whether it's a small sensitive package or a bulk pallet, the label moves with the asset until it reaches its destination.

• The power of the frontline agent: Any Zebra mobile computer, worker’s phone, driver’s tablet or warehouse laptop acts as a Blecon Hotspot. 
  
• Infrastructure-free: Labels "check in" as they move through the supply chain, creating a stream of real-time location and sensor data without a single fixed gateway.

2. Smart Beacons: Cold chain monitoring & data assurance

For high-value or regulated goods, such as cold chain pharmaceuticals, our Smart Beacons provide a deeper layer of monitoring.

Offline logging: Beacons continuously log location and environmental data (temperature/humidity)when out of range of the Network, even when deep inside a shipping container.

Secure synchronisation: The moment a Beacon comes within range of a Blecon-enabled Hotspot, it automatically synchronises its entire history to the cloud. You get the full story of the journey, with no gaps.

Why Frontline Agents is the future of supply chain management

• Workforce as a force multiplier: In an industry facing persistent labor shortages and seasonal peaks, you cannot afford to add manual tasks to your team’s workflow. Blecon allows your existing devices and mobile hardware to capture data in the background. This removes the burden of manual scanning and data entry, allowing your team to stay focused on their physical tasks while the network generates intelligence automatically.
• Visibility at every level: Whether you are tracking a single high-value package or a full pallet of goods, Blecon provides intelligence where it was previously missing. The low cost and disposable nature of Bluetooth tracking labels means you can gain visibility into the "last mile" of your shipments, ensuring that even one-time deliveries are no longer a data blind spot.
• Automated regulatory & insurance compliance: In food and pharma, "I don't know" is no longer an acceptable answer. Our Beacons provide the automated, auditable and timestamped records required to satisfy the strictest regulators.
• Infrastructure-free operations: Instead of capital-intensive fixed gateways, you leverage the hardware your team already owns. By turning existing Zebra devices and other mobile devices into a roaming Beacon Network, you transform your workforce into a live data hub.
  
• From reactive to proactive intervention: Real-time intelligence allows you to identify a temperature excursion or a lost package during the journey. This shift allows you to save the shipment, and the customer relationship, before the damage is done.

Scaling visibility through your frontline

The future of logistics belongs to those who can capture data from every single asset, anywhere in the world. As global supply chains become more sophisticated granular intelligence is no longer optional, it is a requirement for staying competitive.

Blecon empowers supply chain leaders to meet this demand by turning their existing frontline teams into a live data network. By removing the friction of manual setup and the cost of dedicated infrastructure, we enable you to capture high-fidelity data across the entire journey.

It’s about taking the proven value of asset tracking and scaling it further, faster and more efficiently by leveraging the people and professional tools you already have on the ground.
