Mapsted’s indoor positioning system fully supports accessibility routing. Because our technology doesn’t rely on the use of beacons, Wi-Fi, or additional external hardware, it dependably works anywhere, without interruption. This gives property managers the ability to:

Meet the navigation needs of all of their visitors or tenants
Provide inclusive, barrier-free access to their facilities
Improve safety and security, especially in emergency situations
Enhance customer experience, increasing client satisfaction and retention

Accessibility Features

Our flexible platform also allows users to customize their routes based on their individual accessibility needs.

When enabled, the provided routes avoid stairs, steps, and escalators, and use ramps or elevators to help the user navigate to their destination instead.
