Systems and methods for detecting when related applications are running on nodes that that located near one another. An example method may comprise: analyzing beacon data to determine a physical location of a first node and a physical location of a second node; determining an application of the first node and an application of the second node are related applications; detecting the physical location of the first node and the physical location of the second node are within a proximity threshold; and generating, by a processing device, a notification indicating the related applications of the first node and the second node are within the proximity threshold.
