digitreck : a Serverless Location Platform

Create Location-based Applications Rapidly Using Ready-to-use Location Platform

Nowadays applications have become highly complex ecosystems whose management requires efficient information processing. Among different kinds of information, Geospatial information has systematically impacted our applications by improving basic record keeping and data management as well as automating a wide variety of location-related workflows. Today more and more applications are introducing location services in order to visualise, question, analyse and interpret data to understand operational patterns and trends in real-time. But, developing a location management platform often requires an infrastructure setup as well as specialisation in maintaining the platform. This is where we come into the picture where we solve the above problem through our smart location management platform — digitreck.

digitreck is a smart location management platform created to provide an easy, portable and convenient way to introduce location services in any application. digitreck comes with real-time dashboard, a mobile sdk and a collection of REST APIs to the developers which helps to connect to the platform’s servers. Thereby creating an ecosystem where an application can interact with digitreck servers as well as communicate with other devices using the same application for storing and sharing location information.

digitreck’s ready-to-use platform provides 3 basic features:

Location Repository

Using digitreck sdk, mobile devices can upload their current whereabouts to digitreck server repositories from where that information will be available on-demand to further consumption and computation via REST APIs. This feature helps organisations to use digitreck servers as an extension to their own server infrastructure, which acts as location repository for the respective applications. This saves a lot of infrastructure cost for setting up own servers to handle a huge location upload traffic, and provides a pay-as-you-go subscription for digitreck server.

Realtime Location

One of the biggest challenges in implementation of location platform is dissemination of location information amongst mobile devices operational in real world. digitreck sdk provides api to allow device-to-device communication for realtime location sharing without putting any strain on your servers. Since, more and more apps are moving towards managing their assests in realtime, digitreck helps in keeping the server costs to minimum.

Geofences

digitreck provides a very efficient way to make your application geo-smart by generating location-based interrupts based on which application can take appropriate decision. Application need not to check for any desired place/spot on every location change, instead the application will be notified when the device reaches any desired location.
