Bluetooth Smart Labels
Low-power BLE smart labels in a disposable form factor — infrastructure-light shipment visibility that fits into existing logistics ecosystems.
What it is
A disposable label powered by BLE.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a power-efficient wireless protocol widely supported across mobile devices, gateways, and logistics infrastructure. Our Bluetooth smart labels apply that protocol in a single-use, peel-and-stick format — purpose-built for shipments rather than long-life hardware estates.
Many buyers arrive looking for a disposable GPS tracker or a GPS tracker for packages. In practice, most modern disposable shipment tracking devices use BLE rather than cellular GPS — delivering the same operational outcome (location, dwell, exceptions) in a thinner, lower-cost, single-use form factor.
The result: a thin, disposable label that delivers location, dwell, and exception data into GoAndTrack, without standing up dedicated tracking infrastructure on every site.
BLE protocol
Industry-standard, low-power, widely supported across logistics ecosystems.
Light infrastructure footprint
Works with mobile, gateway, and partner-network detection points.
Multi-leg compatibility
Designed to provide useful data across handovers and modal changes.
Disposable form factor
Engineered for one shipment journey — no recharging, pairing, or recovery required.
Why BLE for disposable
A protocol that suits the form factor.
- Low energy budget extends label life across the shipment journey.
- Mature, well-supported protocol used widely in logistics infrastructure.
- Integrates cleanly into existing gateway, mobile, and partner detection setups.
- Sized appropriately for cartons, parcels, and pallets without bulky enclosures.

Responsible disposal
BLE smart labels contain electronic components and a non-replaceable battery. End-of-life treatment depends on product construction, battery chemistry, and local e-waste / battery-waste requirements. Follow the device-specific disposal route rather than placing used labels in general waste.
