Concepts for identifying an asset sort location

A computer-implemented method for associating a sorted asset with a sort

• location, wherein the method comprises:
• receiving, via a user device, asset identifier data from an asset indicia, wherein the asset indicia is associated with an asset;
• storing, via the user device, the asset identifier data corresponding to the asset;
• receiving, via the user device, a data signal via a location device of a plurality of location devices, wherein each location device is associated with a corresponding sort location and wherein the data signal indicates a corresponding sort location, the corresponding sort location being a common carrier location where assets are organized for arrival at respective destinations for the assets, or other common carrier locations, as part of one or more shipping operations;
• determining, via the user device, a signal strength for each location device of the plurality of location devices associated with a first sort location;
• comparing, via the user device, the signal strength of each location device of the plurality of location devices against a configurable threshold signal strength;
• and
• based on determining that the signal strength of at least one of the plurality of location devices satisfies the configurable threshold signal strength:
• identifying the user device to be at the first sort location;
• and
• associating the first sort location with the asset identifier data.

A computer program product operable on a user device, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:

• an executable portion configured to receive asset identifier data from an asset indicia, wherein the asset indicia is associated with an asset;
• an executable portion configured to store the asset identifier data corresponding to the asset;
• an executable portion configured to receive a data signal via a location device of a plurality of location devices, wherein each location device is associated with a corresponding sort location, and wherein each data signal indicates a corresponding sort location;
• an executable portion configured to determine a signal strength for each location device of the plurality of location devices associated with a first sort location;
• an executable portion configured to compare the signal strength of each location device of the plurality of location devices against a configurable threshold signal strength;
• and
• an executable portion configured to, based on determining that the signal strength of at least one of the plurality of location devices satisfies the configurable threshold signal strength:
• identify the user device to be at the first sort location;
• and
• associate the first sort location with the asset identifier data.
