"Yandex Kazakhstan" has presented geotechnologies for business

Yandex Kazakhstan has launched a line of mapping, geolocation, and navigation products for businesses under the "Yandex Maps API" brand. These solutions are relevant for online stores, retail chains, courier services, logistics companies, banks, manufacturing enterprises, and anyone who uses maps, plans routes, and organizes cargo transportation.

The Yandex Maps API line includes three main categories of solutions that form the basis of the user services "Yandex Maps" and "Yandex Navigator": APIs for integrating maps into websites and applications, APIs for geocoding and place search, and APIs for route calculation and navigation.

The first category of "Yandex Maps API" solutions includes software libraries for placing interactive maps on websites — JS API 3.0 — and in applications — MapKit SDK. Companies use them to display the locations of their stores and pickup points, mark service areas, and as a base for building courier routes.

The second category of products includes "Geocoder," "GeoSuggest," and "Organization Search." The "Geocoder" converts coordinates to addresses and vice versa. It is used by logistics specialists, for example, to calculate delivery costs to different areas or to show the customer their location and the delivery address on the map. "Organization Search" helps find the required object by name, address, and other parameters, while "GeoSuggest" allows entering addresses quickly and without errors using suggestions.

The third category consists of products related to navigation and routing. "Distance Matrix" calculates the length and duration of routes between different combinations of origin and destination points. "Route Details" builds routes between points for cars, public transport, and pedestrians. Both products take into account traffic jams, weather forecasts for the specified time, transfers, stairs, and other details. "Locator," on the other hand, determines the location of devices without GPS — via Wi-Fi, IP, and cellular towers, allowing them not to be lost even in tunnels or parking lots. In turn, NaviKit SDK is a set of tools for developing your own navigator on iOS or Android. With NaviKit SDK, you can adapt standard driver scenarios to business needs. For example, taking into account the dimensions and tonnage of vehicles, setting rules for safe cargo transportation, limiting employee speed, and setting specific routes.

Tariffs for "Yandex Maps API" are presented in tenge and are formed based on the number of requests per day. Licenses can be paid monthly or in advance for a year at a more favorable price. And under certain conditions, the API can be used for free.
