At this year’s EurOmnis developer conference, Logical Developments presented a highly attended and well-received session on implementing continuous GPS tracking in mobile applications. Developers from around the world gathered to explore how real-time location data can improve safety, reduce operational risk, and empower businesses to be more responsive to their customers.

Continuous GPS tracking has become essential for organisations whose staff or assets are constantly on the move. More than simply displaying a location marker, live GPS updates provide critical visibility that helps protect field workers and enables quick decision-making. In transport, service, and field-based industries, knowing a driver’s or technician’s precise location can dramatically improve response times during breakdowns, delays, or emergency situations. This safety and duty-of-care perspective is a major reason businesses are now prioritising continuous tracking technology.

During the session, Logical Developments demonstrated how these capabilities have been integrated into the ConNote Mobile app, widely used in the transport and logistics sector. Background GPS tracking runs on both iOS and Android devices, sending updates to the ConNote backend every few minutes—even when the phone is locked or the app is not in the foreground. This reliable flow of data does far more than power maps. It enables dispatchers and operations teams to respond to their own customers with confidence. Being able to instantly see where every driver is allows companies to assign the nearest vehicle to new pickup jobs, avoid delays, improve ETA accuracy, and proactively manage customer expectations.

A key focus of the EurOmnis presentation was showing other developers how to apply the same techniques within their own Omnis-based systems. Using native location services, the Omnis App Framework, and RESTful APIs, Logical Developments has built a flexible and repeatable pattern for continuous tracking. Whether a system requires asset monitoring, field service coordination, safety oversight, or rapid-response dispatching, the underlying approach can be adapted to any mobile-enabled solution the company delivers.

The strong interest at EurOmnis illustrates a clear trend: continuous GPS tracking is now a foundational capability, not a luxury. Logical Developments remains committed to helping organisations operate more safely, work more efficiently, and deliver exceptional service through intelligent use of mobile technology.
