🗺️Wayfinding

Overview

Wayfinding is an innovative system that enables the configuration of multi-floor routes in complex buildings. It was developed to help both customers and employees find the fastest way to their destination without getting lost or needing an escort. Wayfinding ensures that people can move through a building safely and efficiently by providing visual and interactive clues that simplify navigation.

Building users benefit from Wayfinding by easily reaching their destination without getting lost or needing additional support.

With Wayfinding, you can:

  • Create and configure buildings and floors: Add buildings and the corresponding floors and customize them by adding important points such as start/destination locations, paths, elevators, and stairs. -> Configure a Wayfinding floor

  • Connect floors with each other: Link floors through stairs and elevators that can be grouped together to enable multi-floor routes. -> Edit an existing building

  • Generate QR codes for navigation: Create QR codes for start points that users can scan to go directly to the Wayfinding view and start their route to the destination. -> Generate QR code

  • Individual route planning and navigation: Users can enter their destination via a search bar and are then guided step by step to the destination, where they can choose between different route options (e.g., stairs or elevator). -> Using Wayfinding

How we implement Wayfinding:

We have developed a solution where you can easily upload an image, such as a floor plan. You can then draw paths, stairs, and destinations on this image. The system automatically calculates the fastest route for the user, who then only has to select their desired route with a simple click. This significantly simplifies the creation and use of Wayfinding and ensures that users reach their destination quickly and effortlessly.

Use cases:

  • Hospitals: Patients and visitors can easily find their way to their next appointment.

  • Office buildings: New employees and guests quickly find their way to meeting rooms or departments.

  • Shopping centers: Customers are effectively guided to the desired stores or services.


Wayfinding offers an intuitive, user-friendly solution to facilitate navigation in complex buildings and save time. Thanks to our user-friendly implementation, you can set up the system effortlessly and it offers users optimal guidance in any environment.
