Geospatial & real-time systems
Location and telemetry data that arrives fast enough to act on
Fleet, logistics, mobility and field operations generate location data continuously, and most of its value decays within seconds. We build systems that ingest high-frequency telemetry, keep it accurate under load, and surface it fast enough for someone to act on — rather than producing a report about what already happened.
You may recognise
- Fleet or asset tracking that lags behind reality
- Map views that stall once volume grows
- Telemetry storage costs rising faster than the fleet
- Operations decisions made on yesterday’s data
How the work runs
- 01
Handle the ingest volume honestly
Thousands of devices reporting position every few seconds is a different engineering problem from a nightly batch. We design the pipeline for sustained write load and for the gaps that mobile networks guarantee.
- 02
Keep queries fast as history grows
Spatial queries degrade badly with volume unless indexing and retention are designed deliberately. We set that up so performance holds as the dataset accumulates rather than after it becomes a problem.
- 03
Process at the edge where latency matters
When a decision has to happen in under a second, the round trip to a central region is often the whole budget. We push the relevant processing closer to where the data originates.
- 04
Make the visualisation usable at scale
Rendering a hundred thousand moving points in a browser needs clustering, tiling and level-of-detail work. Done properly it stays responsive on the devices your operations team actually uses.
- 05
Control what it costs to run
High-frequency telemetry is expensive to store and move. Retention tiering and aggregation strategy are designed in from the start, because retrofitting them means discarding data you wish you had kept.
What you get
Common questions
What kinds of business need this?
Logistics and freight, ride-hailing and mobility, delivery networks, field service, agriculture, utilities and any operation where knowing where assets are right now changes what someone does next.
Can you work with our existing tracking hardware?
Generally yes. Most GPS and IoT devices emit standard formats, and where they do not we build the ingest adapter. The hardware is rarely the constraint — the pipeline behind it usually is.
How real-time is real-time?
That is a commercial question before a technical one. Sub-second costs materially more than five seconds, and for many operations five seconds is indistinguishable in practice. We help you pick the target that is worth paying for.
Do you build the maps too?
Yes — the visualisation layer is usually where the value becomes visible to the business, so we treat it as part of the system rather than something bolted on afterwards.
