Our Indoor Location & Navigation Services and Capabilities

Our engineers can help you take your indoor processes to the next level by delivering and customizing an indoor location solution that enhances your processes:

Fully Featured Indoor Navigation Solutions

Real-time navigation apps help manage busy venues, guiding users to a selected destination point. Our programmers integrate indoor location technologies of several types, ensuring accurate positioning inside different venue types.

Geofencing and Location-Based Systems

Geofencing helps determine user proximity and trigger an event based on that. It can increase safety, support context-based promotional campaigns, or improve navigation. We can build geofences, set up triggers, and detect user activities.

Employee Location Tracking Apps

Enhance access to restricted areas and improve rescuing procedures in an emergency with an indoor location system. Our engineers will build the required functionality to help you advance your safety and security procedures.

Forklift Location Management

An indoor forklift tracking solution could let you monitor forklift movements in real time, detect and eliminate inefficiencies in warehouse layout, and improve order execution. We can help with customized implementation.

Equipment Tracking
Systems

Custom solutions create the most value; they are the best fit when you need technical excellence. Our team provides necessary improvements by integrating technologies for precise “GPS location tracking” or introducing custom algorithms. 

eKanban
Apps

Manage your spaces and processes efficiently with a real-time web system. Our development team can build an eKanban board or customize an existing solution, integrating indoor location tracking into it.

Make-to-Order Production Management

A custom system containing tracking functionality can help streamline the production of multiple small orders by assessing their up-to-date statuses. Our dedicated development team can deliver necessary features.

Digital Twin
Solutions

A digital twin solution can help you operate at peak efficiency by determining and monitoring optimal timings. Our developers can recreate your spaces, help you set up indoor location technologies, and ensure seamless data processing.

FAQ

What are indoor location services?

Indoor location services focus on building a software system that provides digital representations of indoor spaces. The precise digital map of a floor that indoor location services operate on enables businesses to locate users and objects, create routes, and navigate visitors through buildings.

What is the purpose of indoor location services?

Here are the key purposes of providing indoor location services:

  • provide turn-by-turn indoor navigation
  • plan accessible routes for people with special needs
  • track valuable assets and equipment to eliminate idle time
  • monitor and optimize item movement inside large warehouses
  • locate people for security and safety reasons
  • create and execute promotional campaigns
  • activate guided information when approaching an object
  • collect analytics on visitor behavior, mapping busiest areas
What is the best indoor location technology?

There is no universal technology working for all space types and use cases.

You need to select a technology or a combination depending on your needs:

  • BLE beacons for spaces with walls and notifications
  • plan accessible routes for people with special needs
  • geofencing for open spaces
  • beacon tags and gateways for item tracking
  • Wi-Fi as an alternative to beacons in busy places
  • integrating data from smartphone hardware to increase calculation precision
How much does an indoor navigation system cost?

The costs of building an indoor navigation system vary depending on the required feature list. Basic functionality can cost between $30,000 and $350,000. The estimate varies based on location and hourly rate of chosen software development provider.

How do you build an indoor navigation system?

Indoor navigation systems are complex solutions that require the integration of several technologies and fine-tuning to different user devices.

Indoor navigation development includes several steps:

  • analyze facility and choose a technological stack for indoor location tracking (beacons, geofencing)
  • purchase beacons and subscriptions for navigation engines
  • build iOS/Android indoor location tracking apps
  • develop a location-tracking app for wearables
  • create a web admin panel
  • map venue(s)
  • install beacons
  • tune and adjust
  • beta-test
  • launch for a wide audience
