1. Technology overview

Pointr is an indoor mapping, positioning and wayfinding company with its head office in London, United Kingdom, and offices in Boston, Dubai, Istanbul and Ankara. It has mapped about 7 billion square feet across 5,000 venues in more than 35 countries, serving workplaces, events, healthcare, retail, aviation and hospitality.

Its MapScale engine uses AI to turn floor plans into accurate digital maps at portfolio scale, as with 2,300 Home Depot stores. On top of the maps, the platform provides indoor positioning, turn-by-turn navigation, geofencing and space analytics, delivered through Pointr Cloud, a MapWidget that embeds in 2 to 3 lines of code, and SDKs for iOS, Android and Web. For workplaces it integrates with IWMS tools and partners with VergeSense to combine mapping with occupancy-based planning; Siemens uses it with Building X.

2. Highlighted features & specifications

  • MapScale AI mapping: Generates digital indoor maps from floor plans at portfolio scale.
  • Indoor positioning: Blue-dot location for users inside buildings.
  • Indoor navigation: Turn-by-turn wayfinding to rooms, desks and amenities.

  • Developer tools: MapWidget, Pointr Cloud, open APIs and SDKs for iOS, Android and Web.

3. Potential application

A corporate campus in Ho Chi Minh City can add blue-dot wayfinding to its desk booking app. A large hospital in Hanoi can guide patients to departments through its patient app. A convention centre can offer indoor navigation for trade fairs.

4. Benefits
