What is Chainlane?

Chainlane is a next-generation RFID and IoT inventory management platform designed to give businesses live visibility of every asset, item, or product — from supplier to shelf, from showroom, warehouse, to customer.
It transforms traditional stock control into a real-time, data-driven ecosystem that eliminates blind spots, theft, and manual errors.

Chainlane is not just inventory software — it’s an AI-powered supply chain visibility platform that integrates seamlessly with Avigilon Alta, HALO sensors, and Skynet’s IoT infrastructure.

How It Works

  • Each item, box, vehicle, or asset is tagged with a unique RFID or BLE tag.
  • Chainlane readers and antennas track these items as they move through gates, shelves, rooms, or buildings.
  • Data is instantly sent to a cloud dashboard, showing live movement, location, and history.
  • When combined with Avigilon cameras, you can see the exact video feed of where and when an item moved.

Key Features & Capabilities

  • Real-Time RFID Tracking – Item-level visibility across stores, warehouses, and transit.
  • Loss Prevention Alerts – Instantly detect and alert when items leave controlled areas.
  • Integrated Video Verification – Link RFID events with Avigilon video footage for proof and investigation.
  • Smart Shelving & Replenishment – Automate any stock counts with replenishment triggers.
  • Omni-Channel Visibility – Manage in-store, online, showroom floor and warehouse inventory in one view.
  • Access Control Integration – Correlate staff movements with item activity for accountability.
  • Predictive Analytics – Identify theft patterns, demand trends, and stock anomalies.
  • Compliance & Audit Trails – Full movement history for audits, insurance, and reporting.
  • Seamless API Integration – Works with existing ERP, POS, and WMS systems.

Why Chainlane + Skynet?

Because it’s not just about security — it’s about intelligence.
Skynet’s partnership with Chainlane means every product, person, and process is visible, measurable, and accountable under one unified ecosystem.

The result: Zero blind spots. Zero theft. Maximum efficiency.
The future of asset tracking is Chainlane.
