The problem addressed

What this base solves

Delivery tracking almost always fails at the same point: in the field, when the courier loses the network. The information is then reconstructed from memory at the end of the day, and disputes become impossible to settle.

Maturity

Built and deployed — The maturity label says where the platform actually stands. We do not present a base still in design as an installed product.
