Common use cases for using Amazon Location Service
Amazon Location Service lets you build a range of applications, from asset tracking to location-based marketing. The following are common use cases:
- User engagement and geomarketing
-
Use location data to build solutions that improve user engagement with marketing to target customers. For example, Amazon Location can trigger an event that prompts a notification when a customer who ordered a coffee on their mobile app is nearby. Additionally, you can build geotargeting features so that retailers can send discount codes or digital flyers to customers who are near target stores.
- Asset tracking
-
Build asset tracking features to help businesses understand the current and historical locations of their products, personnel, and infrastructure. With asset tracking features, you can build a number of solutions that optimize remote staffing, secure shipment en-route, and maximize dispatch efficacy.
- Delivery
-
Integrate location features into delivery applications to store, track, and coordinate the departure location, delivery vehicles, and their destination. For example, a food delivery application with Amazon Location features built-in has location tracking and geofencing capabilities that can automatically notify a restaurant when a delivery driver is nearby. This reduces the wait time and helps maintain the quality of the food delivered.
