Never worry again about losing your phone, keys, or briefcase— with Proximo.
Proximo Bluetooth® Tracker is App-Enabled and combines hardware and software. It works by setting up a wireless connection between your smartphone or tablet with the Proximo Key Fob or Proximo Tag using Bluetooth® Smart Technology. Proximo’s App dashboard is “always on” and can track up to five items concurrently. Proximo will alert you the moment you leave your smartphone or Key Fob behind, while the App will help you find your Key Fob or Tag at press of a button. Additionally, Proximo’s App running in your iPhone or Galaxy keeps you from forgetting your Key Fob or Tag, and if you do it will help you find them easily.
