Common Use Cases

deCarta's Hosted Web Services customers location-enable a variety of services across many industries.

Enterprise

Fleet & Asset Tracking
Track the location of a vehicle, mobile user or mobile asset using a GPS device or equivalent and provide optimized driving directions and/or a map displaying a route. Gain visibility and control of assets by allowing users to view data on a map, e.g., view a map of all trouble tickets.

Field Service & Mobile Resource Management (MRM)

• Track and dispatch large fleets with minimal call center resources
• Optimize dispatch according to drive time
• Optimal scheduling and routing in real time
• Drive time based routing (vs. as-a-crow-flies routing)
• Maps, directions and real-time navigation on mobile devices

Mobile

Real-Time Navigation
Mobile users, with a GPS-enabled mobile device, can enable real-time, turn-by-turn navigation with compact text descriptions, arrows and maps.

Route Planning
Send route planning instructions to phones that are not able to locate a position using GPS or network-assisted GPS technology.

Social Networking
Users can share their location with friends, visualize them on a map and receive notifications when their friends are nearby.

Local Search
Mobile users can perform local searches based on their location. Mobio's cheapest gas finder is a great example of HWS providing application flexibility.

Consumer Internet

Hosted Web Services is ideal for local search portals that require extreme flexibility. Maps.com and Local.com use HWS to customize their mapping applications to their own unique look and feel, building and enhancing their brand and identity for their consumer facing websites.
