What is De.? ​

De. (Dedot) is a comprehensive supply chain coordination platform that connects all the moving pieces of delivery—logistics companies, commerce platforms, IoT devices, and end users—through one unified system.

The Vision ​

Think of De. as the operating system for logistics - similar to how:

  • Stripe revolutionized payments by providing infrastructure that any application can use
  • Twilio made telecommunications accessible through simple APIs
  • Electrical wiring connects all appliances in a house seamlessly

De. provides the invisible backbone that makes delivery and logistics work seamlessly, regardless of which carriers, e-commerce platforms, or IoT systems you use.

The Problem ​

Modern logistics is fragmented:

  • Carriers build their own tracking systems from scratch
  • E-commerce platforms integrate with carriers one-by-one
  • Developers rebuild the same logistics features repeatedly
  • Customers experience inconsistent delivery experiences
  • IoT devices lack standardized integration protocols

This fragmentation leads to:

  • Duplicated engineering effort
  • Inconsistent user experiences
  • Poor visibility across the supply chain
  • Limited scalability
  • High integration costs

The Solution ​

De. provides:

  • Unified APIs - One integration for all logistics operations
  • Real-time Tracking - Live updates across all services
  • IoT Integration - Standardized device connectivity
  • Multi-tenant Architecture - Serve multiple businesses from one platform
  • Developer SDKs - Web and mobile tools for rapid development
  • Embeddable UI - Drop-in map and tracking components

Embeddable mapping with comprehensive logistics features:

typescript
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'
})
