Developing a Custom and Dynamic GPS Tracking Dashboard Application for HalfShell Services

The objective of HalfShell Services was to build an application for real-time resource tracking that delivered precise location-based information while optimizing operational efficiency. The platform also needed to feature a robust and user-friendly interface for both admins and managers so that they could monitor resources effectively. The main challenge was in developing custom functionalities, such as integrating APIs without any backend access and customizing Mapbox to include features like custom markers and summary boxes.

Our team of expert developers at APPWRK resolved these challenges with utmost perfection and care to deliver a custom solution tailored to the specific requirements of HalfShell Services.

Challenges

1. Scalability Concerns

HalfShell Services required its dashboard to scale effectively with the rising number of users, locations, and data entry points when the company expanded operations. The combination of growing data volumes and insufficient API design resulted in deteriorating system performance.

2. Real-Time Data Accuracy

The company needed accurate real-time data for GPS tracking because its functional nature depended on it. The delivery of delayed or inconsistent service information and location tracking hindered operational effectiveness along with important choices.

3. Lack of Backend Access

During the development of the HalfShell Services dashboard application the primary challenge came from lacking backend access. This lack of access prevented the development team from both developing and testing new features on the database platform.

4. Dependency on Client-Side API

The frontend development team lost independence because they needed to depend completely on the client-side API for their data retrieval and management operations. API data-sharing methods limited development capabilities because better customization features were needed to surpass established API parameters.

5. Custom Functionality in Mapbox

Mapbox was a core component of the application as it was responsible for providing real-time location tracking and interactive mapping capabilities. However, implementing advanced customizations in Mapbox proved to be a technically demanding task.
