Case Study: Grab achieves centimeter-accurate navigation and faster ETAs with Swift Navigation’s Skylark

Grab improves driver navigation accuracy 10x with Swift Navigation

Grab, a leading superapp in Southeast Asia, faced significant challenges with standard GPS accuracy in dense urban environments like Singapore. Signal degradation in high-rise districts and GPS-constrained areas like carparks led to unreliable ETAs and difficult navigation for drivers. To address this, Grab partnered with vendor Swift Navigation to improve its navigation experience using the Skylark Precise Positioning Service.

Swift Navigation's solution involved a complete technology stack that delivered a tenfold improvement in positioning accuracy. The results from a pilot program with nearly 250 drivers showed noticeably sharper and more stable location data, leading to faster navigation and a better driver experience. Swift Navigation's corrections service provided the foundational layer for this successful implementation.
