Business challenge
- Vessel tracking for boats across the Maldives, offered as an operator service.
- Geofences required by the Ministry of Fisheries so fishing vessels stay out of prohibited areas.
- Portable trackers rented by resorts to snorkellers, with coast-guard alerting if a swimmer drifts into deep water.
- Dual-mode GSM plus satellite trackers for air taxis flying between hundreds of islands.
- No existing product in the market met the combined requirement.
What we delivered
- One platform carrying thousands of assets of different classes — vessels, portable personal trackers and aircraft.
- Highly configurable geofence and alert rules per asset class and per subscriber.
- Self-hosted deployment on Ooredoo's own infrastructure.
- Android and iOS applications for subscribers.
Architecture
- Mixed-asset data model: marine, personal and aviation assets share ingestion, geofencing and reporting without separate systems.
- Dual-mode device support so satellite-backed units continue reporting outside GSM coverage.
- Account hierarchy so resorts and end subscribers see only their own assets under the operator tenant.
Implementation
- Find'n'Secure demonstration won the Ooredoo contract against competing products.
- Deployed onto Ooredoo-managed servers with configuration to their specific service definitions.
- Requirements implemented iteratively in close work with the Ooredoo team.
Results
- A single operator-grade platform behind several distinct commercial tracking services.
- Regulatory geofencing for fisheries delivered as configuration, not custom software.
- Safety alerting extended to people, not only vehicles.
