Smart Wayfinding

Turn-by-turn navigation with dynamic route adjustments and accessibility options

How It Works

Picture this: A visitor arrives at a sprawling mall, unsure where to find their favorite store. Instead of wandering aimlessly, they open their phone and get step-by-step guidance that adapts in real-time—rerouting around a crowded food court or suggesting elevator access for wheelchair users. Our Smart Wayfinding uses advanced AI to analyze venue layouts, user capabilities, and live conditions to deliver the perfect route every time.

In airports, passengers with visual impairments receive audio-guided navigation that announces turns and obstacles. In hospitals, doctors navigate efficiently between departments, with routes that avoid restricted areas and account for their walking speed. This isn't just navigation—it's intelligent assistance that makes complex spaces feel intuitive.

Key Features

  • Personalized Guidance: Routes tailored to individual needs, from walking speed to mobility aids, ensuring comfort and efficiency.
  • Multi-stop Navigation: Optimize journeys with multiple stops, like "Store A → Food Court → Exit," with time-saving shortcuts.
  • Arrival Time Calculation: Precise ETAs that update in real-time, helping users plan their time effectively.
  • Accessibility Options: WCAG-compliant routes for users with disabilities, including audio cues, braille support, and ADA-compliant paths.
  • Dynamic Adjustments: AI-driven rerouting around temporary obstacles, crowds, or construction, minimizing delays.

Value Proposition

Smart Wayfinding transforms frustrating experiences into delightful ones, boosting customer satisfaction and loyalty. For businesses, it means reduced support calls, higher foot traffic conversion, and compliance with accessibility laws. In revenue terms, improved navigation can increase in-venue spending by 20-30% as customers explore more confidently.
