Allokit brings QR codes, Bluetooth trackers and GPS trackers together in one platform to track your tools, your high-value equipment and your vehicles. Information is updated by your crews or reported automatically, depending on the technology.
Tracking can start with a scan by your crew, a Bluetooth detection near a gateway, or a position reported by GPS. You can combine these technologies based on the equipment you track and the information you need.
Scan to identify
A QR label links each tool to its Allokit record. Your crew scans it to look up its information and update its location, its condition or who's responsible for it.
In practice
Identify a tool and open its record on the spot.
Automatic detection nearby
A Bluetooth tracker fixed to the tool is detected automatically when it passes near an Allokit gateway — in a vehicle, on a job site or at the warehouse.
In practice
See where a tool was detected, without scanning it.
Position reporting
A GPS tracker reports the equipment's position to Allokit. You can locate your high-value equipment without waiting for a scan or for it to pass a Bluetooth gateway.
In practice
Locate a trailer, a generator or a piece of equipment left on a job site.
Position and vehicle data
A GPS tracking unit reports the vehicle's position to Allokit. Depending on the unit and the vehicle's compatibility, it also gives you usage data and some engine information.
In practice
Locate your service trucks and review their usage data.
Gateways are the link between your Bluetooth trackers and Allokit. Installed in your vehicles or at a fixed location, they detect the tools in range and report those detections to the platform.

Detections reported automatically to Allokit
The gateway detects tools fitted with a Bluetooth tracker near the vehicle and reports those detections along with its GPS position.
A gateway installed on site detects Bluetooth tools within its coverage area. You can see when each was last present on the site.
The gateway detects Bluetooth tools in range. Your crew can check which tools were detected there, and when.
Bluetooth tracking depends on a gateway being in range. In Allokit, you get the place and time of the last recorded detection.
Compare what goes on the equipment, how the information gets updated, and what each kind of tracking needs to work.
| Technology | On the equipment | How it updates | What tracking needs | Typical uses |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QR code | QR label | By your crew, after a scan | Someone scans the label and updates the record | Hand tools, ladders, job boxes |
| Bluetooth | Bluetooth tracker | Detection reported automatically | The tool is within range of a gateway | Mobile tools, tool boxes, compressors |
| GPS for equipment | GPS tracker | Position reported automatically | The tracker has power and the coverage it needs | Trailers, generators, high-value equipment |
| GPS for vehicles | GPS tracking unit | Position and available data reported automatically | The unit has power and the coverage it needs | Vehicles, trucks and machinery with a compatible connection |
You can combine several technologies on the same piece of equipment. Its QR label, its Bluetooth tracker and its GPS tracker all stay attached to the same Allokit record.
