Is it possible to use this for a business to put on their employee phones? Before anyone pounces on me (I actually have strong opinions about privacy)... I have a client that has 300 employees that are enforcement officers in the field on company issued phones during their shifts. (think tow truck drivers or parking enforcement officers) and they'd like to be able to quickly dispatch the "nearest" officer to the scene. Is this something we could use to get real-time locations of these officers?
I was asked for advice on coming up with a solution and I had a tough time finding a good solution that is API-first, battery optimized, and has solid Android support, and a privacy-friendly DNA. We just need the real-time location tracking piece so we can use the information for dispatching them.
- apayan 6y agoHi atonse. Believe it or not, this was a use case that I was considering when developing the service. Speaking with folks at various conferences I've been at, there seem to be more than a few industries where it's necessary to quickly identify the physically closest employee that can be dispatched to resolve an issue. If you'd like to chat about it some more, send me an email [arash at zood dot xyz]. I think a private instance of the service might even be the most useful solution for you.
