RedBeam is a cloud-based tracking platform for physical items. It is sold as three products: Asset Tracking for fixed assets, Inventory Tracking for stock movement, and RedBeam RFID, an RFID enablement platform. The company describes its mission as translating physical inventory tracking into digital data that helps customers speed up operational processes, and it markets the brand as Tracking Made Easy.
The company says it has helped organizations track physical items since 2004. Location is described as only the start, since the platform also records an item's value, status and usage. The homepage cites a high rating on Capterra and lists customers in education, oil and energy, and accounting, along with a quoted reference from Vanderbilt University.
Teams label assets and inventory items, then scan them with Android or iOS devices to update location, status and ownership. RedBeam says it supports smartphones, tablets and enterprise-grade mobile devices, so organizations can use hardware they already own. Label printing and encoding is built into the platform for both barcode-style tracking and RFID tags.
For automation, RedBeam RFID uses fixed and mobile readers, with Zebra RFID infrastructure included in its plans. Event-based workflows trigger alerts and update locations without manual entry. REST APIs can sync item details with ERP, ITAM and WMS systems, which the company says helps reduce discrepancies and keeps status updates centralized.
Asset Tracking centers on check in and check out, audit compliance reporting and label printing. Paid plans include unlimited assets and locations, and the audit process produces detailed reports. The company says audits are up to 70% faster, and its enterprise page claims audit-ready reports can be generated with no manual reporting.
Inventory Tracking lets teams receive and distribute stock, run cycle counts and use streamlined replenishment and reporting, with unlimited inventory items. RedBeam RFID adds shipment verification, fixed reader management, mobile device tracking and unlimited user workflows. The company also claims RFID tracking can reduce labor hours fivefold in enterprise operations.
