Development of a Scalable GIS-Powered Logistics Platform with Custom Mapping and Routing Capabilities

The client faces the need for a stable, cost-effective, and high-performance logistics platform that integrates precise geospatial data and mapping solutions within their existing web infrastructure. They require real-time location-based services, route optimization, geofencing, and telematics integration to support their large user base across multiple countries, while avoiding excessive costs from third-party geospatial data sources.

A large-scale freight and transportation company operating across multiple countries in Europe and Asia, requiring an integrated platform to manage offers, orders, locations, and geospatial data.

• Create a robust, scalable mapping solution powered by open-source geospatial data, integrated seamlessly into the web platform.
• Support over 100,000 concurrent users and process up to 6 million map-related API requests daily.
• Implement custom data layers for industry-specific geospatial analysis, route planning, and visualization.
• Develop interactive maps with features such as drag-and-drop route creation, markers, and tooltips.
• Enable geolocation, geofencing, and route optimization to improve operational efficiency.
• Reduce dependence on costly third-party geospatial data by developing custom tools and integrations.
• Ensure system stability, high performance, and maintainability to support continuous growth across multiple regions.

• Custom geospatial data layer support with multi-source integration and styling.
• Generation and visualization of vector and raster map tiles.
• Map generation based on postcode ranges such as countries, regions, streets.
• Interactive maps with drag-and-drop route creation, markers, and tooltips.
• Advanced route management with multi-destination routing and road limitations.
• Geocoding services supporting multiple languages, including automatic address and coordinate lookup.
• Geofencing with automatic generation and real-time monitoring of operational zones.
• Integration with GPS providers and telematics systems for in-depth location data collection.
• Tools for enhancing open-source mapping data with custom functionalities and updates.

• Third-party geocoding API providers for address and coordinate lookup
• GPS and telematics data sources for location tracking
• Mapping and routing services for route optimization
• Paid and open-source geospatial data sources for customizable data layers

• Scalable architecture to support over 100,000 concurrent users
• Processing capacity for at least 6 million API requests daily
• High reliability and system uptime
• Cost-efficient integration of geospatial data sources to minimize operational expenses
• Real-time data update mechanisms to ensure map accuracy
• Strong security measures to protect location and user data

The new platform aims to enhance operational efficiency through optimized route planning, geofencing, and location management, resulting in increased user capacity and reduced data costs. It is projected to support tens of thousands of concurrent users, process millions of map requests daily, and improve logistics operations across multiple regions, thereby setting a new standard of digital infrastructure within the supply chain and transportation industry.
