The 32-Second Advantage: truemetrics vs. Google Maps

A surfer duct-tapes a phone to his board… and ends up saving enterprise couriers 32 seconds per stop. The last meter of delivery — not the last mile — is where the money is.
In this Lobster Talks episode, Ingo Boegemann, co-founder/CEO of truemetrics, breaks down how sensor fusion + mission intelligence turn messy building entrances, courtyards, and wrong pins into precise, repeatable delivery actions. We go deep on Europe vs. US GTM, GDPR constraints (and why the US may unlock even more value), landing whales like GLS, and the unscalable POC that unlocked scale.
You’ll learn
- Why “a generic geocode is just the starting point” — and how to map entrances that actually work
- The POC → pilot → rollout playbook (and why Truemetrics charges for POCs)
- How to integrate via SDK without slowing ops — and show value before engineering lifts a finger
- Europe vs. US: privacy ceilings, data linking, and why boots-on-the-ground still wins enterprise sales
- The real driver bottleneck: pressure, compliance, and turning best drivers’ tacit knowledge into software
- The long game: building a data moat for autonomous last-meter delivery
