Service Overview
Mappedin’s indoor mapping solution leverages the latest AI technology to quickly and easily convert floor plans of various facilities into digital map data that can be easily integrated into facility management systems and services for facility users. The generated indoor digital maps can be utilized via the cloud and can be used on a variety of media and devices, including websites and digital displays. In addition to keeping tenant information and other information up-to-date by linking with the facility’s database, the service also provides the ability to collect and analyze user behavior data, which is valuable to facility managers.
