Bluetooth tracker for job site tools
A Bluetooth tracker fixed to your tool lets Allokit gateways detect it automatically. In your vehicles, on your job sites or at the warehouse, these readers report the detections so you can find where and when the tool was last picked up.
Detected by the gateway nearby
From the tool to your inventory, without a scan
Bluetooth tracking rests on two devices: a tracker on the tool and a gateway nearby. Together, they keep detections up to date in Allokit without anyone on your crew lifting a finger.
The Bluetooth tracker broadcasts a signal
Fixed to the tool and tied to its Allokit record, the tracker broadcasts its identifier over Bluetooth.
A gateway detects the tool
When the tracker is in range, the gateway recognizes its identifier and reports the detection to Allokit.
You find the last detection
Allokit attaches that information to the tool's record. You can see when the detection happened and which vehicle or place the gateway picked it up from.
A gateway is a connected Bluetooth reader
The gateway receives the signals from the trackers nearby and reports the detections to Allokit over a network connection. One gateway can detect several tools within its coverage area.
In a vehicle
The gateway travels with you. It detects the tools nearby and reports the detections along with its GPS position.
On a job site
Installed on site, the gateway detects the tools within its coverage area and records their presence on the site.
At the warehouse
The gateway detects the tools in range. Your crew can see which ones were picked up there, and when.
Where was this tool last detected?
Every detection is attached to the tool's record. That gives you a concrete place to start looking.
- The tool itself, through the Bluetooth tracker tied to its record.
- The date and time, of its last detection.
- The gateway that detected it, in a vehicle, on a job site or at the warehouse.
- Where it was detected, based on the gateway's location.

Detection depends on the gateways nearby
A Bluetooth tracker doesn't report its position to Allokit on its own. A new detection is recorded when a gateway picks it up and passes the information along.
If the tool leaves the coverage area
The last detection stays your last reference point. It doesn't confirm the tool is still there.
If the tool is near a vehicle
The detection says it's nearby. It could be in the vehicle or right beside it.
Depending on the environment
Obstacles, metal job boxes and where the devices sit can all cut the range. Where you place gateways has to account for where your tools actually travel.

AK Tag
A Bluetooth tracker fixed to the tool and tied to its Allokit record. It broadcasts its identifier so the gateways in range can recognize it.

- Mounting
- Screws or industrial adhesive

Allokit gateways
Readers installed in vehicles, on job sites or at the warehouse to detect Bluetooth trackers and pass the information to Allokit.
Which gateways you need, and how many, depends on the areas to cover, the environment and how your tools move around.
Combine Bluetooth with QR or GPS
The same piece of equipment can keep its QR label to open its record and carry a Bluetooth tracker to be detected automatically. For equipment that has to report its own position, a GPS tracker rounds out the tracking.
QR codes
Identification and record access by scan.
GPS for equipment
Reports the equipment's position.
GPS for vehicles
Vehicle position and the data available.
