Summary

Over the past 18 months, demand for global and last mile logistics, food delivery applications, and urban mobility services has increased significantly. Real-time location data is crucial for these services, enabling delightful user experiences and optimizing operations. However, implementing real-time asset tracking can be complex and resource-intensive. To address this issue, Ably has partnered with Mapbox to launch Ably Asset Tracking, a serverless service designed specifically for asset tracking in last mile logistics, food delivery applications, and urban mobility services. This solution simplifies cloud architecture, allowing Dev & Ops teams to focus on core product engineering. It also provides high position accuracy, low latency, and seamless end-user experiences.
