No More Getting Lost Indoors: Mapxus’ Tech Is the Future of Wayfinding

Mapxus has revolutionized indoor mapping by prioritizing accessibility and efficiency through its cutting-edge platform. At the heart of this innovation is an app-free experience delivered via Mapxus Anywhere, a web-based solution that allows users to navigate indoor spaces without downloading an app. This approach ensures universal compatibility and accessibility across devices, aligning with consumer preferences for mobile-optimized websites. Users can access real-time navigation, point-of-interest (POI) search, and barrier-free routing directly through any browser, enhancing their overall experience.

AI-powered Wi-Fi fingerprinting technology

The platform’s hardware-free indoor positioning leverages existing Wi-Fi infrastructure through advanced AI-powered fingerprinting technology. By analyzing Wi-Fi signal patterns, Mapxus achieves precise indoor positioning without the need for beacons or BLE hardware. This method significantly reduces deployment costs by utilizing existing infrastructure, making it more sustainable and cost-effective for venues. The technology also supports automatic floor detection and a "calibrate-as-you-go" approach, ensuring minimal impact from environmental changes such as store layout updates.

Omnichannel accessibility

Mapxus ensures omnichannel accessibility through seamless cross-platform integration, allowing users to access indoor navigation from multiple entry points and transition smoothly between devices without interruption. Whether starting on a mobile browser, switching to a tablet, or interacting with a kiosk, the platform maintains a consistent and intuitive user experience. It increases convenience and reduces friction, ensuring that users receive accurate and updated guidance regardless of their platform or device. This capability supports a wide range of use cases, from retail and hospitality to healthcare and emergency response, where quick and reliable navigation across multiple touch points is critical. By providing a unified experience across all channels, Mapxus empowers venue owners to create a connected environment that increases customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

Simple integration

Mapxus offers developers a comprehensive suite of integration tools, including SDKs for major platforms such as iOS and Android. Developers can also manually integrate the SDK by adding frameworks. Additionally, Mapxus provides a lightweight UX solution that is not SDK based and can be embedded in an iframe, allowing for simple integration into websites without requiring extensive development skills. This solution enables venues to easily embed indoor maps into their websites, improving user experience and accessibility. The iframe embed code can be customized to fit different website layouts, similar to other mapping services, making it adaptable for various web platforms.
