Vehicle and asset tracking

People, vehicles and devices. Know the position of your assets in real time.

The development of vehicle and asset tracking systems is a very complex niche market in general. It requires the design of highly transactional server components and databases that can handle geospatial data types (coordinates, polygons, routes) and queries. Another challenge is developing the client components responsible for tracking, whether they're native apps installed on COTS devices or standalone hardware components. In fact, the tracking devices must be reliable, energy-efficient and as open as possible to collect and send additional data relating to the vehicle.

Over the years, we've developed complex tracking platforms able to respond to the most diverse needs, integrated with Google Maps and HERE Maps APIs. In Australia and the USA, we've worked on two rideshare projects (Lyft/Uber clones) aimed at a niche market; in South Africa, we provide an enterprise platform to a courier that uses over 2000 heavy vehicles every day.

In most cases, we also integrated a classic CRM for vehicles and drivers into the tracking system, with document expiry checks and flows for onboarding and the management of repairs and maintenance.

Not just tracking; automation based on geospatial data

Linking the position of a vehicle to alert or automation systems is a frequent requirement. For example, a control centre can be alerted if a truck with a dangerous load drives through an urban area, passengers can be warned of the imminent arrival of their car, or a recipient can be notified of any changes to the delivery date of their package. Furthermore, we can evaluate global fleet parameters and send alternative routes and destinations to vehicles to homogenise their position on the territory.
