<\/a><\/a>\nCargo theft costs U.S. businesses roughly $35 billion annually \u2014 up 60% year over year<\/a> \u2014 and the problem is compounded by a fundamental lack of visibility. Current solutions, such as RFID and cellular connectivity, struggle with cost and coverage problems that Bluetooth and the Samsara Network solve.<\/p> \n\"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,\u201d said David Gal, VP of Connected Equipment at Samsara. \u201cUnlike 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.\"<\/p> \nThe low-cost connectivity powering the Tracking Label<\/b><\/p> \nThe 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. The Bluetooth label is interoperable with the Samsara Network, which leverages millions of Samsara-connected devices, including trucks, trailers, buses, construction equipment, warehouse scanners, and phones across 99% of major U.S. roads and tens of thousands of worksites. The network continuously 'listens' for Tracking Labels, enabling a single label to be detected in near real time, without requiring carrier involvement.<\/p> \n\u201cOur data shows that organizations rely heavily on GPS and cellular technologies\u2014adopted by over half the market\u2014to track non-powered assets, often absorbing higher hardware costs to guarantee visibility,\u201d said Zoe Roth, Senior Research Analyst, 451 Research from S&P Global. \u201cMeanwhile, lower-cost alternatives like RFID and BLE currently sit at around 39% adoption, historically constrained by fragmented infrastructure, according to our 451 Research Supply Chain Digital Transformation Survey 2026. Providing a persistent, wide-area network for Bluetooth assets could dramatically shift this landscape, enabling scale where infrastructure has previously been the bottleneck.\u201d<\/p> \nReal-time supply chain visibility through the Samsara Shipment Center<\/b><\/p> \nLeveraging the new Shipment Center, supply chain teams can view mission-critical and high-value goods \u2014 from a single box to a shipment of pallets to a reel of copper wire \u2014 that have a Tracking Label on the dashboard and click into any shipment for deeper insight. Through the Shipment Center, operations teams can:<\/p> \n3PL provider DCL Logistics, one of Tracking Label\u2019s early adopters, is now managing the fulfillment and carrier handoff of high-value cargo for some of the world\u2019s leading brands across consumer electronics, CPG, enterprise hardware, and GPUs.<\/p> \n\u201cIn LTL and truckload shipping, you typically only hear about your shipment twice \u2014 when it\u2019s picked up and when it\u2019s delivered,\" said Dave Tu, President, DCL Logistics. \u201cSamsara\u2019s Tracking Label changes that. It gives us a level of visibility that just didn\u2019t exist before, and when you\u2019re moving high-value cargo, that\u2019s a big deal. It\u2019s like watching your Uber driver on the way to pick you up \u2014 you can see every move, every turn, right up until it pulls up to the door.\u201d<\/p> \nPlug into any existing workflow with the new Samsara Shipment App<\/b><\/p> \nThe new Samsara Shipment App<\/a> allows teams to activate the Tracking Label with a single tap, no hardware or manual entry required. Scan any barcode \u2014 a Bill of Lading, carrier tracking number, or warehouse license plate number \u2014 and the app automatically links it to the existing shipment ID.<\/p> \nThrough the App, high-volume operations can print and pre-populate labels in bulk. Teams can also connect directly to an existing TMS or ERP to write shipment data at print time. No rip-and-replace of existing systems required.<\/p> \nAll of these capabilities combined enable operations teams to keep jobs running on schedule, recover lost shipments in near real-time, and deliver a better overall customer experience.<\/p> \nLearn more about Samsara\u2019s latest innovations in physical operations, including:<\/p> \nFollow Beyond 2026 news and developments on Samsara's LinkedIn<\/a> and X<\/a> pages, or by using the #SamsaraBeyond hashtag.<\/p> \nAbout Samsara<\/b><\/p> \nSamsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations\u00ae Platform, which is an open platform that connects the people, devices, and systems of some of the world\u2019s most complex operations, allowing them to develop actionable insights and improve their operations.
