CAPABILITIES

What the Positioning API delivers

Hybrid positioning — GPS + Wi-Fi + cellular + sensors

Combines multiple positioning technologies in a single API call — GPS, Wi-Fi access points, cellular towers, Bluetooth beacons, and device sensors. Returns the most accurate available position regardless of environment or signal conditions.

Indoor & outdoor seamless tracking

Maintains continuous location tracking as assets move between indoor and outdoor environments. Automatically switches between positioning methods — no manual configuration or mode switching required in your application.

Accurate in GPS-challenged environments

Delivers reliable positioning in urban canyons, underground facilities, warehouses, airports, and multi-story buildings where GPS signals are weak or absent. Critical for logistics operations in dense urban environments or indoor facilities.

Low energy and hybrid modes

Multiple positioning modes balance accuracy against battery and data consumption. Low-energy mode for continuous background tracking, high-accuracy mode for precise real-time positioning — configurable per use case.

Real-time tracking and alerting

Monitor asset locations in real time with configurable update intervals. Set geofence boundaries and receive alerts when assets enter or exit defined zones — useful for compliance monitoring, asset recovery, and operational alerts.

Secure, compliant, enterprise SLA

Enterprise-grade security with data handling compliance. SLA-backed uptime, detailed documentation, and direct Placematic engineering support for integration and ongoing operations.
