Indoor Positioning And Navigation Systems
An indoor navigation system combines several technologies within one complex system. Our engineers provide all required integrations, calculate the best route, and give precise instructions.
Alert IBeacon
Apps
An alert app simplifies two-way communication. Ensure that employees can immediately activate emergency alerts. Send notifications to responsible persons. Guide users to a safe route. IT Craft builds a system for prompt response.
Custom IBeacon Apps For Asset Tracking
iBeacons can be mounted on moving objects to better track processes in a facility. Sensors are used to monitor the location of valuable assets and their conditions. We use cutting-edge technologies to maximize the business value of tracking software.
Proximity-Beacons
Marketing Solutions
iBeacons trigger personalized messages based on user proximity to the store. This can be unique offers, deals, notifications on upcoming events, and more. IT Craft iBeacon app developers build software for superior customer experience.
Interactive
Tours
Provide the lowest-possible entry barriers to museums, exhibitions, and tourist attractions. Make descriptions and instructions available in visitors’ local languages. Provide extra in-app content. We integrate it all in your app.
IBeacons Apps For Mpayments
Be considerate of your customers. Add an alternative contactless payment method. Tie a beacon-carrying item to a specific device or account from which users want to make a purchase. Our team ensures seamless integrations of all modules.
Proximity-Based Social Networking
Add an extra option to your proximity app. iBeacons can help friends find each other in a crowded or an unfamiliar location by sharing precise positions. IT Craft has experience in delivering this type of functionality.
Product Identification Software
When attached to items, iBeacons can detect user interactions with products. They activate information when an event is triggered. We help you build and set up an identification system and then keep it up and running.

Questions from our clients
iBeacon is a special protocol designed by Apple Inc. It is used on small transmitting devices called BLE beacons.
iBeacon helps with the following:
- Indoor positioning and step-by-step navigation
- Tracking solutions
- Promoting products and services
- Improving in-store experience
- Automation solutions
Yes and no.
Yes, an iBeacon is just a small device that periodically transmits signals into an environment.
No, such signal transmission makes little sense. A smartphone can neither recognize nor use it. End users need to install and launch a native app. Plus, to start action after receiving a signal, they must have Bluetooth turned on.
Both Android and iOS support iBeacon detection.
If you are concerned that users might ignore your app, try iOS 14 App Clips to demonstrate the core functionality of your app at a glance.
Beacons are small, inexpensive, low-powered devices equipped with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
Beacons broadcast signals. Beacon signals contain unique ID numbers which a smartphone app can recognize and use for navigation. Smartphones with relevant apps and Bluetooth are turned on to pick up these signals when they are near.
Beacons can also trigger events and send proximity-based notifications with relevant content to user devices. For instance, when people pass by a restaurant, they receive a notification about daily specials.
iBeacons are relatively cheap devices.
Kontakt Anchor Beacons 2 cost $117 for the pack of three.
Estimote sells its Proximity Beacon at €140 ($150) for four units in a kit.
Beaconic offers 4 iBeacons Retail Kit for €89 ($95).
Heavy-duty beacons or beacons with various sensors onboard cost more.
Three is the minimum number of a pack due to the triangulation effect. All manufacturers offer large-order discounts.
The biggest challenge of iBeacon app development is making measuring as precise as possible.
iBeacon signals might:
- Have issues with Wi-Fi interference because both use the same frequencies.
- Incorrectly display when beacons toggle.
- Lose contact with the user's smartphone due to unexpected, moving obstacles.
- Lack of precision in open spaces and large places without walls (e.g., parking garage).
The following actions help increase signal precision:
- Switch to a channel with different frequencies.
- Ensure optimal hanging height and density of iBeacons.
- Tune signal strength and range.
- Develop a hybrid positioning system that uses geofencing and iBeacons.
