  • Publication number: 20180341912
    Abstract: Technology is disclosed for enabling an efficient logistics network based on mobile device location data. The technology does not necessarily need the street house numbers as delivery or pickup addresses, which are not available in some areas of the world. The location data (e.g., GPS coordinates) of the customers' mobile devices are used to suggest the logistics delivery and pickup locations. Drivers of the logistics network are equipped with logistics driver devices connected to a logistics data server for retrieving the location data. Guided by the location data, the drivers reach the target locations for the delivery or pickup tasks.

  • Publication number: 20170178057
    Abstract: Technology is disclosed for logistics navigation of products without a physical address. The geographic location of a customer can be determined by a mobile device used to request delivery of the product. The mobile device can use its own location determination capabilities to provide the geographic location to a logistics server. The logistics server can then provide that geographic location to a device of a logistics driver such that the product can be delivered without a physical address such as a street address.
