In their own words
Crowd Connected
Crowd Connected provides indoor and outdoor positioning, blue dot navigation, footfall analytics, and tracking for assets and wearables. For event attendee tracking, battery-powered Bluetooth beacons detect wearable tags and record attendance, arrival time, dwell time, and movement without badge scanning. Its analytics include near-real-time heatmaps, map regions, and device-count and dwell-time charts. Indoor positioning combines Bluetooth beacons with machine learning to self-calibrate, without manual calibration or fingerprinting. A single location SDK supports indoor and outdoor positioning in mobile apps. MapsPeople and Mazemap are integrated, and the platform can import IMDF maps from Mappedin, Point Maps, and Visioglobe; PNG and JPEG uploads are also supported. Apps can restrict background data collection to selected places and times. The service is offered on Android, iOS, web, and API. Crowd Connected Ltd, founded in 2013, is headquartered in Guildford, Surrey, UK. Its permanent indoor positioning plans list different area capacities and support levels, from limited email support to managed service.
