Intugine helps the states to track Covid-19 quarantine zones

With the growing number of cases on Covid-19, virus in the country, reached above 5000 mark in India, the bengaluru based startup helps government officials to monitor a large number of home quarantined individuals and ensure that they follow social distancing, as per the company’s official release.

The company claims that the solution can work without installing any application, which makes it easy to implement. It uses an SMS-based user consent to initiate the tracking. The core team behind Intugine’s success are includes Harshit Shrivastava, Ayush Agrawal, and Mrinal Rai, who come from IIT Kharagpur and SRCC. They raised an undisclosed amount from IPV and some angel investors in 2019. The solution is already live in five states, where the State governments are using it to track the quarantined people in specific regions.

The real-time dashboard will be used by the officials and coronavirus control room for better monitoring of home quarantined cases. The location data is stored in a secure cloud, ensuring complete privacy of the individuals. The tracking automatically stops after the quarantine period ends.

Once the lockdown ends, it’s going to be very crucial to identify coronavirus hotspots based on population movement and density, and to do effective contact tracing to avoid another wave of infection.

With our location intelligence algorithms and data mining technologies, we are building tools to do such analysis and tracing at scale,” says Mrinal Rai, Co-founder, Intugine Technologies.

The company is in talks with many government officials across the country to implement it in other states as well. They further said, with our location intelligence platform, we are enabling authorities to monitor thousands of quarantined people at once, in an effective, least intrusive and scalable manner,” says Harshit Shrivastava, Co-founder, Intugine Technologies.

Intugine’s end-to-end platform includes route planning and vehicle allocation, digital indenting, in-warehouse tracking, in-transit tracking, digital invoicing and data-driven planning. Intugine'’s Location Intelligence Platform already tracks movement of lakhs of trucks every month and is repurposed to track the home quarantined cases in the light of coronavirus crisis. “Our logistics platform fits seamlessly in providing a solution to the coronavirus monitoring. Upon understanding it better, we quickly tweaked our platform by conducting a pilot in a handful of districts to check the feasibility. As we got positive feedback in detecting the breaches of home quarantined cases, we started reaching out to multiple state governments for a large-scale implementation,” says Ayush Agrawal, Cofounder, Intugine Technologies.
