Smart Office Maps & Wayfinding

Modern offices and corporate campuses are getting bigger and more complex every year. This means that for staff and visitors alike, seemingly simple tasks like finding their way to a particular location or arranging a meeting can become time-consuming. Recent surveys report that 70% of workers on corporate campuses waste up to 15 minutes looking for a space to meet.

Without question, one of the critical pieces of infrastructure for a modern smart workplace is office maps. Maps are the foundation upon which all additional indoor location functionality - including positioning, navigation and geofencing - is based, and can also be relied upon as a standalone feature of any workplace app. 

Office maps can help new starters and guests navigate large offices, help colleagues find one another quickly, and can help manage a facility's energy use and occupancy levels.

Pointr's state-of-the-art indoor mapping system can create beautiful, intuitive, interactive maps that fit seamlessly into your workplace app via our SDK. Our AI-enhanced MapScale® technology is capable of creating and updating hundreds of maps in minutes, making us an ideal workplace partner for those looking to digitize hundreds or thousands of venues regularly.

The growing ubiquity of map apps in everyday life has conditioned users to expect more from maps than a simple visual. One of the most common expectations for modern mapping systems - whether indoor or outdoor - is that the map will be wayfinding-enabled.

Even the best designed and easily comprehensible map can be challenging to use at times, particularly when the map depicts a complex indoor environment such as an office. Asymmetrical layouts, vast amounts of detail, campuses that span both indoor and outdoors, and multiple floors all combine to make picking the most efficient route from one point to the next a challenge for users.

With smart and dynamic indoor navigation overlaid, however, the map becomes an invaluable piece of time-saving and collaboration-encouraging technology. Colleagues can share their location with each other and find the quickest route to meet, while guests and employees can be routed to the nearest available desk or meeting room. 

Pointr's smart in-office wayfinding technology, twinned with our outstanding mapping abilities, make us the top choice for Fortune 100 companies.
