What Lamplight Logistics does

Lamplight Logistics is a privately held, Austin-based IoT software company founded in 2022 that builds Spotlight™, a hardware-agnostic real-time location system (RTLS) for tracking physical assets across supply chains and manufacturing facilities. The platform ingests data from Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Ultra-Wideband (UWB), and GPS/Cellular hardware—selecting the radio technology to fit each use case—and exposes a cloud-based dashboard with a 'God View' facility visualization, KPI dashboards, and zone-based automation triggers. It is API-first, integrating with enterprise ERP and WMS systems through webhooks and connectors, and is sold primarily as an annual subscription bundled with hardware (tags and gateways).

The company targets mid-market and enterprise manufacturing and logistics operators across three primary use cases: returnable transport packaging (RTP) tracking to eliminate pallet and container loss; work-in-progress (WIP) tracking through factory stations to surface bottlenecks; and automated zone-based inventory counts to replace manual cycle counting. The go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales with a 'Book a Demo' funnel that qualifies prospects by facility size (Small to Enterprise) and tracking requirement before producing a custom ROI analysis. A leading automotive manufacturer is the marquee reference account, reporting 0% asset loss and sub-12-month ROI on a returnable container deployment.

Lamplight's broader ecosystem includes technology partnerships with Silicon Labs, Cassia Networks, KONTAKT.IO, neqto, and JIG-SAW for hardware and connectivity. The company is led by CEO and co-founder Kurt Nehrenz, has approximately 5 employees, has not publicly disclosed funding, and tracks 500K+ assets and 1B+ movements across its platform.

Core offering

Lamplight Logistics sells the Spotlight™ enterprise IoT/RTLS platform, a cloud-based asset intelligence system that delivers real-time tracking and visibility across warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and outdoor logistics operations. The offering pairs a software subscription (Spotlight™ platform with dashboards, KPI analytics, smart automation, and ERP/WMS integrations) with hardware components including BLE tags, UWB tags, and gateways. It is sold primarily to manufacturing and logistics enterprises to address returnable transport packaging loss, work-in-progress bottlenecks, and manual inventory audits.

Product overview

Lamplight Logistics offers a unified IoT asset tracking platform called Spotlight™. The core platform provides indoor/outdoor tracking capabilities across three technology layers: BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) for indoor use with 5+ year battery life, UWB (Ultra-Wideband) for centimeter-level precision in manufacturing environments, and GPS/Cellular for global outdoor logistics. The platform's "God View" feature visualizes facility layouts and asset movements in real-time, while built-in KPI dashboards provide status distribution, location breakdowns, and exportable reports. Smart automation and alerts enable zone-based triggers with webhook/API integrations. The system tracks returnable transport packaging, work-in-progress (WIP) on factory floors, and automated inventory management, targeting automotive manufacturing and logistics industries.
