    This app could come in handy for thieves to real time track a delivery van full of goods worth thousands of euros and intercept it.

    Assuming that said thieves have placed an order and have a tracking number to track the van in real time in order to intercept it. Either that or they’ll have to have prior knowledge to someone placing an order and have access to that persons email to get the package tracking number. That would, of course, need us to assume that they are using the services of a hacker!

    Now presumably, if there’s a hacker on board, they might go after slightly bigger fish than aunt Mary’ new hoover!

    Stop begrudging and just appreciate the fantastic start-up. Stop automatically looking at the negatives and what ‘could’ happen. They’ve obviously been looked into. Well done to all involved in Xpreso

    The Irish are a nation of begrudgers. They hate to read about a success story. Moan, moan, moan.

    In fairness this isn’t that big, have been to various interviews where MDs or senior management want to develop a auditing,tracking applications/tool. It’s not completely a new idea
