Our Story

22+ Years of Mapping expertise and growing with our clients.

Informap was established in the UAE in 2002 by acquiring Spatial Data Integrators (SDI) company from MAPS geosystems, Sharjah.

Realizing the importance of detailed building level maps for accurate door delivery and emergency response, the founders realized the need for establishing a Virtual Addressing System for the UAE. Thus in 2005, Informap released a 6-digit based UAE Locator Addressing System called Geo-Reference Locator (GRL). Today, it has been upgraded to a 7-digit system called Geo-Reference Code (GRC) to locate every single building in the UAE.

FAQ’s

Q1. What is a GPS tracking solution?

A GPS tracking solution uses the Global Positioning System to determine the real-time location of a person, vehicle, or asset. It allows you to monitor movement, generate reports, improve security, reduce operational costs, ensure vehicle safety, enhance driver performance, and increase overall efficiency.

Our solution is suitable for:

  • Fleet and logistics companies
  • Delivery services
  • Schools and school buses
  • Construction and equipment tracking
  • Service and utility vehicles
  • Cold chain transport
  • Public transportation

The system includes a GPS tracking device installed in the vehicle or asset, which sends real-time location data to our secure cloud platform. You can access this data through a web portal or a mobile app.

Our solution includes:
• Real-time location tracking
• Route history and trip playback
• Geo-fencing alerts
• Speed monitoring
• Idle time tracking
• Driver behaviour monitoring (harsh braking, acceleration, speeding)
• Fuel usage and mileage reports
• Maintenance reminders
• Fleet performance analytics
