Locator Apps
Help Customers Find Businesses
Finding store locations can present various challenges for customers, often entailing a blend of technological, logistical, and informational hurdles. In today’s digital age, the dependence on online platforms for locating stores has grown significantly, but it hasn’t entirely eradicated the obstacles customers face.
One of the primary challenges lies in the accuracy and accessibility of information. While online maps and store locators are convenient tools, discrepancies between the provided information and the actual location can lead to frustration and wasted time for customers. Outdated data or incorrect addresses can misdirect patrons, leaving them wandering aimlessly or struggling to locate the desired store.
Woolpert provides an online store locator solution, designed to revolutionize the way customers connect with brands. Seamlessly integrating with websites or apps, our innovative platform offers users a user-friendly interface to effortlessly locate stores, enhancing the shopping experience.
With our solution, customers can quickly search for nearby stores based on their location, preferred products, or specific services offered. We leverage advanced Google mapping technology to help ensure accurate and up-to-date information, minimizing the chances of frustration or confusion for users.
Google Maps for Guests
Customer resort/establishment mapping, mostly focused on digitizing indoor spaces, faces tougher hurdles compared to most outdoor or public spaces. Unlike readily available street layouts, creating accurate indoor maps requires detailed floor plans, which can be complex and time-consuming to obtain. The bigger challenge is keeping them up-to-date. Frequent renovations, store changes, and temporary constructions can quickly render maps obsolete, frustrating users and hindering navigation.
Then there is the problem of accurately determining a user’s location/position indoors. GPS signals often suffer weakening in enclosed establishments, so it becomes imperative to leverage other tools and methods that can address indoor user positioning/geolocating needs (blue dot on the map).
