End user and enterprise uses
End user
The end user software, known as manager, works to connect people in three ways. Either people-to-people, people-to-places, or people-to-services.
Enterprise
The ZMS standard may be implemented outside of the smartphone-based manager. Organizations may stay aware of a device's location, and dispatch the closest device to a given address.
The enterprise software differs from the end user software in that location can be constantly updated to the ZOS servers, and can be shared the client organization. This allows for efficient allocation of resources, whether the solution is focusing on taxis, EMS, Sales and Service organizations, advertising, or other uses.
