Worked with the team. The battery efficiency of SDK - which was super critical to us - was great. Good luck guys. Excited to see what companies build with HyperTrack

Thanks for everything, @nikhilvij03. Wouldn't have been able to get a key customer live without your support.

@nikhilvij03 Thanks Nikhil! What else would you like to see in the platform?

How many times in a day do you ask someone - 'Where are you?'. With HyperTrack you won't have to do that any more! HyperTrack is lowering the barriers for the industry to create new location based services by solving a trifecta of problems: 1. Making it easier for developers to build via its plug-n-play sdk & awesome onboarding 2. Making it convenient for field users to use its technology via minimal battery usage and background sync 3. Making it super fun for business owners to consume location data through beautiful visualizations... Super excited to think of the possibilities with this!

@ram_kakkad if you were to build a live location-based app, what would it be?
Ram Kakkad
@righthalf Some kind of a task aggregator for families could be useful. So if I needed to visit a store or do some work somewhere - and someone from my family was in the area - they could get a ping saying 'A family task is available in the area'.

At Coachella this year, my house all set their location sharing permissions using iOS's feature. I got nervous bc I worried I would forget to turn it off so I set it to 8 hours only. Then, a couple hours later I turned it off to minimize battery drain bc I've always heard location sharing drains your battery. And I just checked the Find Friends app and I see some of those folks never turned it off. Ha! Could I use hypertracks API to build a simpler, more precise version of location sharing for ad hoc groups that would minimize battery drain? Never mind that idea, I just looked through your docs and I want to make city wide scavenger hunts with custom actions for discovering the locations hinted at by clues. Each group of friends can define up to 10 teams that app start at the same time. Haha this type of trivial game would be taxing to the point of not fun to build from scratch, but your API could make it a fun hackathon project. Perhaps replace the http://jaredmorgenstern.com/quotes project! Good stuff, team. That degree of freedom, to unlock a cool social game, while it sounds trivial,- begs the question what other things will now come into the world. What have you guys come up with as a team hypertrack? What are your dream integrations?

@jjflex Battery usage for location tracking has turned a corner recently, with overlaying activity data with location data. Check out this post we wrote: https://blog.hypertrack.com/2017... Now don't get me started on whacky use cases. An escort service in SE Asia became a paying customer in our self-serve. It was the app that the workers use. I was a bit creeped out at first but then saw that it was not for customers tracking the visit. It was for internal use. I hope it's for monitoring the safety of the workers, perhaps an SOS button in the app? Back to gaming, if you think about it, Pokemon Go was built by the Keyhole/Google Maps guy for a reason. Tracking activity and location needs to work well for the game to work. I've seen a bunch of social and messaging apps build live location sharing between users with HyperTrack. Am waiting for that social gaming use case in the big bad world that is built on our platform. A health insurance company just started using us to reward customers with cashbacks for a certain number of active fitness days and sessions.

I can imagine many use cases for this technology. Great work!

@nickhung Thanks Nick. We have seen a few use cases till date ( order tracking, workforce monitoring, mileage tracking, location-based assignments, live location sharing, and profiling users & places). Are there other use cases that you see? Would love to get your thoughts!
Nicolas Nguyen
@abhishekpoddar I think you have a pretty good list.
Rishi Kulkarni
Love it. Apps like Swiggy have made it a habit to track the delivery. Hope to see more consumer/delivery apps support location tracking. Good luck team.

@rishikulkarni Don't you think Swiggy's tracking experience needs an upgrade though?
@righthalf As I am regular user of Swiggy almost every day (Order food for team) I must say they need to upgrade

I have been interacting with the team for the past 2-3 months and the product is amazing. It's a given to use them for real-time tracking. Well done!

Thanks for the kind words @mrjain_. Want to understand how you came to that conclusion. Did you consider building in-house?
Manish R. Jain
@arjunattam As with any engineering team, resources were limited so building it in-house was an option for about 5 seconds and then decided to get started with HyperTrack.

@abhishekpoddar-- love the UI-- going to be a customer soon!

@ashish_aggarwal Glad you liked the UI. Credit goes to @vibhasjain. Looking forward to see you go live.

@findabhilash Would love to get your feedback once you give it a try. Also - wondering what kind of possibilities are you imagining?

It must be useful tool for small business
Kashyap Deorah
Maker
@kostyarypta yes small businesses are cost conscious and tracking saves money. tech platforms for small businesses integrate with HyperTrack usually, and SMBs are end users. what use case did you have in mind?
HyperTrack is cool product!! My tech team integrated API to track sales team location. Keep it guys 👍

@jasveer10 Thanks, how is it working out for you?
@righthalf simply fantastic! Need some improvements that's all my team has already send feedback!
