In a world where GPS and real-time location sharing have become second nature, it’s easy to forget how controversial location technology once was — and still can be, when handled carelessly.
Stories like Google’s $391.5M settlement with U.S. states over misleading location tracking practices, or Facebook sunsetting its Nearby Friends and location-based features, have made businesses more cautious than ever. And rightly so.
At Glympse, we believe location sharing should be intentional, temporary, and always transparent — not Years of Building Trusted Location Technology
We pioneered temporary location sharing back in 2008 with the Glympse Consumer App — designed to help friends and family share live ETA and location for a short window of time. No constant tracking. No check-ins. Just clarity when it matters most.
That same ethos powers our enterprise-grade solutions today — including:
-
Glympse En Route – a configurable platform used globally by major brands to manage proactive, real-time communication during deliveries, service calls, and curbside pickups.
-
Glympse PRO – a mobile app purpose-built for SMBs with field staff, enabling real-time visibility and communication without complex tech or extra hardware.
Real ROI, Proven Outcomes
Whether you’re in telecom, logistics, retail, or home services, Glympse drives measurable improvements across operational efficiency, customer experience, and cost savings.
Here’s what our partners have seen:
-
A U.S.-based furniture company reduced customer not-at-homes by 10% with a single SMS including a live tracking link and ETA countdown.
-
A UK telecom brand saw a 14-point NPS boost in just eight weeks using live location updates and automated status notifications.
