Oriient IndoorGPS

“The Oriient solution for Smart Flow Analytics is based on the use of IndoorGPS, a proprietary indoor positioning system that can determine location data within specific spaces. The solution is provided as an SDK that can be integrated with an app and deployed via smartphones. Once the system is in place, it can provide significant benefits to both facility operators and visitors. From a facility operator standpoint, the system is extremely easy to deploy and highly scalable.

Since Oriient’s IndoorGPS uses magnetic mapping rather than GPS, it needs absolutely no additional hardware. The data that is generated can be used to provide full visibility into the customer journey through the premises, providing valuable information about flow patterns and dwell times that supplies insights to both facility operators and tenants. Since these insights are tied to the app on the visitor’s smartphone, it can also provide information on buying patterns and return visits. Oriient’s solution is anonymous and therefore fully compliant with all data privacy regulations including GDPR.”
