Mappedin delivers best-in-class wayfinding and spatial data management across intu shopping destinations

WATERLOO, Ontario, June 11, 2019 — (PRNewswire) —

WATERLOO, Ontario, June 11, 2019 /CNW/ - Mappedin, the leading indoor mapping SaaS platform, today announced it has teamed up with shopping centre owner, manager and developer intu, to deliver a 'one map, everywhere' solution for its 14 flagship retail and leisure destinations across the UK.  

intu's partnership with Mappedin will deliver an implemented wayfinding platform that provides real-time updates to the maps on each centre's website and in-centre kiosks, mitigating the need to update each channel separately.

"For businesses like intu, the concept of "one map, everywhere" brings speed and efficiency to their organization and mitigates the manual process of updating each property map every time a tenant changes or a pop-up shop shows up for a week. The ability to easily reflect these changes, in real-time across digital touchpoints ensures that shoppers are always given the most accurate version of a property map. In today's digital age, accuracy is expected, and intu now has the ability to make these changes collaboratively across their portfolio," said Hongwei Liu, Founder and CEO, Mappedin.

"intu is a well-known owner of flagship destinations across the UK and Spain, with a focus on compelling experiences.  Along with enabling engaging digital wayfinding for shoppers, we know spatial data management and ongoing map maintenance is critical. Enabling intu with our map management platform will bring efficiency and accuracy to their shopper facing tools."

"It's important we deliver the best possible experience for intu's customers. That's why we're investing in a robust map management and wayfinding platform that will also lay the foundation for longer term digital enablement," said Roger Binks, Customer Experience Director at intu.
