What is it ?

Pulsetracker is a real-time location tracking platform built for developers who need high-frequency, flexible location updates without the constraints of traditional SDKs or backend dependencies. It allows developers to build their own custom client SDKs using UDP or WebSockets, empowering them to stream live location data from Pulsetracker to their backends effortlessly.

The platform handles heavy location traffic, processing updates from thousands of devices per second, so developers don’t have to worry about infrastructure scaling. Pulsetracker also provides a simple interface for users who prefer to store or visualize location data directly on the platform's dashboard, making it versatile for a wide range of use cases.

How It Works

Pulsetracker requires explicit user consent to start tracking, respecting user privacy and ensuring data is only used for approved purposes. After user consent, Pulsetracker works by acting as a middleware server that receives, processes, and distributes real-time location data from client applications to developer backends. Here’s how it operates step-by-step:

1. Client SDK Integration: Developers integrate Pulsetracker by implementing a custom client-side SDK. This SDK can use either UDP or WebSocket protocols, which are lightweight and efficient for real-time tracking.

2. Location Data Transmission: The client SDK sends location updates directly to the Pulsetracker server. Data is transmitted every few seconds, allowing for continuous, real-time tracking.

3. Backend Delivery: Pulsetracker forwards location data in real-time to the developer’s backend or stores it on the Pulsetracker dashboard. This option allows for flexible access: developers can retrieve data from Pulsetracker’s servers or have it directly streamed to their own backend infrastructure.

4. Data Management and Display: Through the Pulsetracker dashboard, developers can visualize and manage location data, view movement patterns, or monitor device updates.

Use cases

  1. Developers can integrate Pulsetracker into apps to provide location-based services, adding value for users seeking device tracking.
  2. Everyday Users can use it to track their personal devices or family members safely.
  3. Businesses can monitor assets, logistics, or employee locations in real-time, helping with efficient operations and quick response.

Why Use Pulsetracker

Here’s why developers and companies should consider using Pulsetracker:

1. Control Over Tracking Data: Pulsetracker allows developers to create custom SDKs for client-side tracking, offering flexibility in how they collect and manage location data without being restricted to a specific backend.

2. Real-Time Location Updates: With Pulsetracker, location updates are streamed in real time, providing immediate access to data for services that depend on up-to-the-minute accuracy.

3. Scalable Infrastructure: Pulsetracker manages high traffic and complex data handling, so developers don’t need to build or scale backend systems to process location updates.

4. Efficient Protocols: Pulsetracker uses UDP or WebSocket protocols for fast, efficient communication that minimizes battery and data usage on client devices.

5. Privacy and Security: Pulsetracker ensures data is securely transmitted and offers developers control over data storage, aligning with privacy requirements.
