One-time secure link
Every assignment mints a random token, stored only as a hash. The link identifies the driver and the consignment, expires with the journey, and can be revoked from the dashboard.
Technology
No app to install. A secure link is the whole driver experience.
Our drivers are independent contractors engaged per consignment. Asking them to install and maintain a fleet app does not work. Instead, each assignment produces a one-time secure link that turns any mobile browser into a tracking device for the duration of that journey.
Browser geolocation
The driver grants location permission once. The page watches position while it is open, filters noisy fixes, and stores a point roughly every minute of movement.
30-minute checkpoints
The backend promotes a location to a journey checkpoint about every 30 minutes, producing a clean, readable journey history rather than thousands of raw points.
Silence detection
When a consignment stops reporting, the platform raises an alert for the control desk instead of quietly showing an old position as if it were current.
Backend-owned logic
Session validation, checkpoint spacing, and location naming all live in the database. The client only reports coordinates.
Native-ready by design
A future native driver app can call exactly the same session and location routines. Replacing the driver interface would not require redesigning the backend.
What browser tracking can and cannot do
We are deliberate about this because overselling it damages trust. A mobile browser cannot guarantee continuous GPS tracking after the browser is closed, backgrounded for a long period, or suspended by the phone's power management. iOS and Android both throttle or stop background location for web pages.
- Reliable: continuous updates while the tracking page is open and the screen is on, plus updates when the driver returns to the page.
- Partial: short periods with the screen locked. Some devices keep reporting briefly, then stop.
- Not possible: tracking after the browser is fully closed or the tab is discarded.
We design around this rather than pretending otherwise: drivers are asked to keep the tab open, the platform queues points captured offline, gaps are labelled honestly in the dashboard, and prolonged silence raises an alert so the desk can call the driver. Customers with a continuous-tracking mandate are moved to a native driver app or a hardware GPS device on the vehicle.
