Pointr has firmly established itself as the workplace technology solution partner of choice for indoor location and mapping, with a list of customers that includes many Fortune 100 companies.
We are a preferred partner for Microsoft, CBRE Host, Siemens Enlighted, and Honeywell.
In this article we’ll look at what qualifies Pointr to successfully form such partnerships and what we offer that differentiates us from our competitors in the space.
We’ll explore the Pointr difference, including:
Let’s start by looking at how Pointr delivers on a selection of the prerequisites for a technology partner that has the capacity to add real value to your business.
Experience and knowledge - Pointr has a global presence in more than 20 countries, in over 5,000 venues, and we power 250 million data points.
Commitment - we’re agile and constantly investing in R&D to future proof our indoor location and mapping solutions for the long run. We respond quickly to unforeseen challenges, delivering appropriate solutions without fuss.
Speed to market - Pointr has the fastest solution available anywhere in the marketplace - up to 100,000 times faster than competitive solutions.
Flexibility - our software solutions are completely hardware agnostic, meaning that we don’t tie you to any supplier or biased hardware recommendations.
Efficiency - no need to re-calibrate because we don't use fingerprinting. This means we deliver consistent accuracy, that doesn’t deteriorate from day one.
Cost effectiveness - our SDK-based solution easily integrates with your application stack protecting your current investment. Our solutions require no on site maintenance, a substantial cost benefit. We deliver a patented “no upkeep” solution.
Certifications - Pointr’s information security is ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 certified and approved by Cisco, Microsoft, Siemens, Extreme Networks, CBRE, ISS, DHS, and many others.
At Pointr, we’re 100% laser focused on (and specialized in) indoor mapping and location technology.
Some vendors specialize in either mapping or indoor location. We believe both solutions are integral to user experience, which is why we have built and natively integrated our market-leading indoor location technology on top of our best-of-breed mapping solution.
We’re passionate about providing the best performing, scalable indoor mapping and location solutions and invest 100% of our time and energy in the pursuit of this. We’re not interested in extending our offerings to solutions that would compete with our workplace experience partners.
There are many features that combine to make up the Pointr indoor mapping and location technology solution - features that clearly differentiate us as the preferred workplace technology solution partner.
MapScale™ - our revolutionary, fully automated, AI-powered map digitization solution that creates maps at huge scale in minutes - not weeks or months. Map digitization is critical to room/desk bookings and campus navigation, and is often a time-consuming bottleneck for workplace experience partners.
Pointr Cloud - our cloud-based content management system that allows users to manage, configure, and maintain Pointr’s maps, location data, and location services in a single, unified platform.
Deep Location® - Pointr's indoor positioning system technology doesn’t rely on using a phone's compass, which in many indoor environments doesn’t deliver useful orientation. It also doesn’t rely on fingerprinting or geomagnetic techniques, which are less accurate and cumbersome to install and maintain. Instead, Pointr’s Deep Location® technology utilizes sensor fusion techniques and machine-learning algorithms to provide incredible accuracy both for blue dot location and orientation.
The following table highlights the difference between Pointr maps and typical competitive solutions.
