Logistics-Tracking GPS Apps

This App Converts Smartphones Into Real-Time GPS Devices

— October 29, 2021 — Tech
3Dtracking, a California-based company that specializes in the provision of real-time monitoring and reporting capabilities to logistics operations, has launched a high-tech GPS app that can essentially transform any smartphone into a GPS tracking device.

Once installed on an iOS or Android device, this GPS app conveys the device's location to the company's platform so that it can be displayed on a tracking page. The app even transmits information about the direction that the device is moving in as well as its speed, so that distances and times of trips can be deduced. Smartphone information is integrated with users' accounts on the core 3Dtracking platform, making it possible for logistics managers to easily track all of their operations.

In addition to boosting convenience, this GPS app also allows logistics operators to save money and transfer those savings to their own clients, creating a win-win situation for all parties.
