What is De.?
De. (Dedot) is a platform that connects logistics providers, commerce platforms, mobility services, IoT devices, and end users through one unified system.
The Vision
Think of De. as infrastructure for delivery & transportation - similar to how:
Stripe for Payments
Revolutionized payments by providing infrastructure that any application can use
Twilio for Telecom
Made telecommunications accessible through simple APIs
AWS for Computing
Made computing resources available on-demand without managing servers
Building logistics applications should be as straightforward as integrating Stripe for payments or Twilio for communications. De. is infrastructure — not another logistics app.
Instead of spending months rebuilding tracking systems, dispatch logic, and fleet management, you integrate De.'s APIs and focus on what makes your business unique. The same way developers don't build payment processors anymore, they shouldn't rebuild logistics infrastructure either.
De. provides the invisible backbone that makes delivery, logistics, and mobility work seamlessly — whether you're shipping freight, dispatching ride-hailing drivers, or tracking last-mile deliveries — regardless of which carriers, platforms, or IoT systems you use.
The Problem
Modern logistics and mobility are fragmented
Stakeholders building in silos:
- Carriers & Fleet Operators build their own tracking systems from scratch
- Ride-hailing & Delivery Platforms rebuild driver dispatch and routing for each service
- E-commerce platforms integrate with carriers one-by-one
- Developers repeatedly build the same logistics and mobility features
- Customers experience inconsistent delivery and transportation experiences
- IoT devices lack standardized integration protocols
This fragmentation leads to:
Duplicated Effort
Engineering teams rebuild the same features across freight, delivery, and mobility platforms
Inconsistent Experiences
Users face different interfaces and workflows between services
Poor Visibility
Lack of real-time visibility across operations and transportation modes
High Costs
Expensive integrations and ongoing maintenance for custom solutions
The Solution
De. provides unified infrastructure for delivery & mobility
One platform that connects everything together.
Unified APIs
One integration for all supply chain and mobility operations
Real-time Tracking
Live updates across all services and transportation modes
IoT Integration
Standardized device connectivity for sensors and trackers
Multi-tenant Architecture
Serve multiple businesses from one scalable platform
Developer SDKs
Web and mobile tools for rapid application development
Embeddable UI
Drop-in map and tracking components ready to use

Embeddable mapping with comprehensive logistics features
Create interactive maps with routing, navigation, and real-time tracking:
const msi = new De.MSI({ element: 'map', accessToken: token })
const { controls, handles } = await msi.load()
// Set route with real-time traffic
await controls.setRoute({
origin: warehouseLocation,
destination: customerLocation,
options: { profile: 'driving-traffic' }
})
// Track delivery vehicle
const vehicleStream = handles.peerLocation(driverLocation, {
label: 'Your Driver',
sublabel: 'ETA: 5 minutes'
