determining, by a processor, a collection location for collecting an item;
identifying, by the processor, a physical beacon associated with the collection location;
based on a geofence of the collection location being crossed by a device of an agent, detecting, by the physical beacon, an interaction with the device of the agent, the interaction occurring based on the physical beacon and the device of the agent being in physical proximity to each other; and
upon the detecting the interaction when the geofence is crossed, facilitating, by the physical beacon, transmission of a sensory signal,
wherein the sensory signal is specific to the device of the agent, and
wherein the physical beacon is included in a plurality of physical beacons that generate a plurality of sensory signals along a predetermined path toward the collection location of the item and provide direction information toward the collection location of the item.
