Situm is able to send all the geolocations computed to the Situm cloud and stores them in a geolocations database. This allows to provide:
- Real-time monitoring of the geolocation of every user.
- Geospatial analytics: trajectories, heatmaps, etc.
Geolocations are usually sent in real-time, or buffered and sent in a delayed fashion in case of limited network connectivity. It is also possible to configure the geolocation upload periodicity in order to save battery.
Real time geolocation monitoring
When a geolocation is computed, Situm is able to send it to the Situm cloud. This allows not only to store it, but also to consume it in real time to build a myriad of tracking use cases. For instance, as shown in the following figure, the Situm Dashboard shows the users' geolocations on top of the building floorplan, updating them in real time. This information can also be retrieved via API in order to build your own visualizations and use cases.
Geospatial analytics
As mentioned, geolocations are stored in Situm cloud. This allows to build an infinite number of geospatial reports, such as heatmaps, trajectories, etc. The following figure shows a heatmap report, which represents the density of geolocations computed for a particular user.
You may also build your own reports and visualizations by consuming the raw geospatial data from our API.
