Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can WiseNav be set up?
We’re proud to say that our Mobile Wayfinding solution typically goes live in just a matter of weeks, not months. Plus, we thoroughly test tens of thousands of routes, thanks to our smart algorithms, which only take 4 to 8 man-hours to complete.
How does WiseNav handle updates and changes in campus layouts?
WiseNav excels in agility. With swift updates to wayfinding data, our platform enables education facilities to quickly adjust routes for construction works, layout changes, or any other modifications, ensuring accurate navigation at all times.
In response to unforeseen circumstances such as pandemics, our platform is equipped to swiftly adapt facility layouts, including the generation of one-way routes and other safety measures. Quickly adjusting universities and colleges maintain a safe environment for students, staff, and visitors. With our proactive approach to updating wayfinding data, facilities can effectively implement and communicate necessary changes, ensuring seamless navigation amidst changing conditions.
We have our own app, and IT systems. Can WiseNav integrate with these?
Absolutely!
Integrating WiseNav into your existing system is a breeze and typically requires just a couple of minutes of work on your end. You won’t have to deal with the headache of integrating complex native app SDKs or managing their versions.
Plus, since no infrastructure is needed within the building, there’s no additional setup, configuration, or maintenance hassle
How do we know if our current wayfinding needs improving?
Signs of ineffective wayfinding can manifest in various ways. One clear indicator is when Real Estate Management and Facility Management teams find themselves dealing with the aftermath of poor wayfinding design. Maintenance of the system becomes burdensome and unsustainable.
Another telltale sign is the presence of random pieces of paper used for directions, suggesting a lack of confidence in the existing wayfinding system.
Our solution addresses these issues by providing a comprehensive wayfinding system designed for easy maintenance. Through the WiseNav Maintenance Framework, updates can be efficiently implemented, ensuring that the wayfinding system remains current and functional.
