HERE Tracking

Real-time IoT tracking for international logistics

HERE Tracking

The requirement was to build a massively scalable IoT platform to ingest real-time location and sensor data to act as a foundation for international delivery services and asset management logistics.

The project encompassed backend and frontend development as well as low-level IoT device firmware.

Real-time IoT Tracking

Project Requirements

  • Real time location tracking
  • Historical analytics to improve processes
  • Integrate with existing logistics tools
  • Available for low-cost, low-connectivity tracking devices
  • Consumer-level UX/UI, Enterprise-level security

Solution

I created the initial versions of each system, application and interface to ensure the concept worked end-to-end. Over the course of 3 years, I moved to leading architecture for the group to ensure the technical roadmap aligned with the market needs.

The project was API-first to ensure compatibility across internal applications (VueJS web application, iOS app) as well as seamless integration with existing logistics system. The system worked alongside the proprietary HERE positioning service.
