Solution Offering

We deliver bespoke, tailored solutions for your business — with an agile approach that allows us to develop and deploy custom features on demand.

BLE - Indoor RTLS


Sample UI Interface

How it works

Small BLE tags are attached to assets. Each tag broadcasts a unique identifier at regular intervals using ultra-low power radio signals. Strategically placed BLE gateways — installed at doorways, ceilings, or key zones — continuously scan for these broadcasts, capture signal strength (RSSI) data, and forward location events to our middleware platform over Wi-Fi. We aggregate this data to determine asset location, movement history, and status in near real-time.

BLE - Outdoor GPS


Sample UI Interface

How it works

BLE tags on assets broadcast a unique identifier continuously. When any participating device — a delivery driver's phone, a visitor's tablet, or a nearby smart device — passes within range, its background app silently detects the tag's signal, timestamps it, and securely reports the sighting (with its own GPS coordinates) to our middleware platform. The tag's location is then inferred from the positions of the detecting devices. No building wiring, no gateway hardware, no per-site installation.

Our Hybrid PinPlot Solution (HPS)

Our hybrid platform seamlessly integrates BLE, GPS, LoRaWAN, and QR code tracking technologies into a single, unified solution. By combining the unique strengths of each technology, we are able to design and deliver a truly custom tracking solution for any use case — ensuring our clients always have access to the most capable and versatile technology stack available.
