A progressive web application (PWA) platform from Netstar, a subsidiary of Altron, offers an easier, more efficient way for customers to track vehicles.
The MyNetstar PWA is said to be quicker to install, more environment friendly to run and uses less phone memory than traditional applications (apps). It can be installed and accessed directly from a Web browser and updates automatically, saving time and data.
PWAs use less energy and have a smaller environmental impact than native webpages.
“Since PWAs can cache and interact with the device locally, they are much more efficient than a native webpage, which is routed through a server,” says Netstar chief technology officer Clifford de Wit. “This cuts network load and ultimately reduces the carbon footprint of the app. The development resources to get a PWA off the ground are considerably less than a native app, which also reduces the carbon footprint.”
MyNetstar allows for 24/7 vehicle tracking, while reducing the risk of false alarms. The tool can be used to access fitment and unit-health test certificates, set up safety zones and driving-behaviour alerts, and allows quick access for customers to manage or upgrade accounts. The new PWA can also monitor a car’s movement using map-based tracking on any smart device.
“Protecting and connecting our customers is our brand promise,” says De Wit. “The MyNetstar PWA allows us to keep families safe using connected technology – protecting them from crime and helping to avoid unfortunate misunderstandings.”
The MyNetstar PWA can be accessed directly on the company’s website.
