LocatorX, an IoT-driven AI-ready data provider delivering cryptographically verifiable chain of custody for defense, aerospace, and highly regulated supply chains, today announced it has been named “Asset Tracking Solution Provider of the Year” in the 5th annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program. The program is conducted by SupplyTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that evaluates and recognizes standout technology companies, products, and services in the supply chain technology and logistics industry around the globe.
Most tracking systems answer a single question: where is the asset? That narrow framing leaves organizations without the custody record and audit trail that regulated supply chains actually require. The LocatorX platform addresses this gap architecturally. By consolidating data from GPS, BLE, NFC, and LoRaWAN sensors into a single unified operational view, the platform maintains a continuous, coherent record of asset status and custody state regardless of environment. Whether an asset is moving through a dense warehouse, transiting international freight corridors, or residing in a yard or port, the LocatorX platform is collecting the trusted data.
LocatorX produces lifecycle-contextualized records structured for AI and human consumption from the point of capture, eliminating the data engineering step that raw telemetry typically requires before analysis is possible. AI models trained on clean, accurate, structured data distinguish genuine anomalies from normal variation with measurably greater reliability. Agentic AI-enabled workflows can then act on those signals at machine speed, automatically rerouting shipments, adjusting inventory levels, or escalating decisions that require human judgment, operating continuously with minimal oversight. A robust API ensures data can be surfaced in existing applications without integration complexity.
Every interaction with the platform is written to an immutable ledger that cannot be altered after the fact. Compliance is not a reporting layer applied after the fact; it is built into the record-keeping structure from the start.
“From dense warehouse to final delivery, every sensor event is captured, structured, and recorded in an immutable ledger, producing an unbroken chain of custody that satisfies audit requirements without manual intervention,” Chester Kennedy, CEO of LocatorX, commented, “For defense and aerospace operators, the data we provide ensures audit-ready records that survive organizational handoffs, satisfies compliance requirements without manual reconstruction, and provides the data foundation that AI-driven decision systems actually require. The SupplyTech Breakthrough recognition reflects the architecture we have built, and the operational outcomes our customers depend on.”
The mission of the annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program is to recognize the innovators transforming the global supply chain landscape through technology. The program conducts a comprehensive analysis of companies, technologies, and solutions redefining how supply chain businesses operate, engage partners, and drive growth. From procurement and omni-channel logistics to AI-driven analytics, automation, and last-mile innovation, these solutions enable supply chain organizations to adapt faster, operate smarter, and deliver consistent customer outcomes.
“Conventional tracking solutions focus primarily on asset location. Supply chain managers require a more complete record that documents custody transfer and the full chain of events across the entire journey, necessitating a unified view of both active and passive sensor data,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards. “The LocatorX platform does not require organizations to choose between active and passive tracking modalities or to manage those data streams separately. Combined with immutable record-keeping and AI-ready data output, the platform delivers continuous, verifiable asset visibility across the entire operational journey.”
