| Label | What it does | How it updates |
|---|---|---|
| Shipping label | Identifies a parcel for the carrier. | Carrier shipment events, such as processing and delivery scans. |
| QR asset label | Connects a physical item to a record. | Someone scans the code and records or retrieves information. |
| Bluetooth tracking label | Broadcasts a signal that compatible receivers can detect. | Network detections when a receiver is in range and scanning. |
Shipzik adds a view of the item.
Shipzik uses a QR code when you add a label to your account. After activation, its Bluetooth signal supports network detections without someone scanning that QR code at each stop.
It does not replace postage or your carrier’s shipping label. You can use both on the same shipment. Compare carrier tracking and item detections.
The software matters too.
A location is more useful when the right people can see it. Shipzik includes maps and history, email alerts, and a shareable tracking link.
For a stockroom where people already scan every item, a QR inventory workflow may be enough. For occasional visibility into a shipment or equipment case away from your team, a Bluetooth label may add useful detections. Check coverage and accuracy expectations before choosing.
