Inpixon, a California-based indoor data company that specialises in delivering indoor intelligence, has secured a contract to provide indoor maps for more than two dozen shopping centres in Europe and Asia.

The contract is expected to generate up-front professional services revenue as well as recurring software licence revenue.

The Inpixon mapping system will allow consumers to search for and view maps to specific locations within the various shopping centres. Users will be able to identify the parking area closest to their destination and view maps of multi-level parking garages.

The contract also includes Inpixon’s role-based maps, which will allow employees to view restricted-access back-office areas and destinations, such as non-public pathways, as well as storage rooms, electrical closets and cable access points to enable more efficient operations and facility maintenance. The maps will be available in various languages on iOS and Android devices as well as via web browsers and touchscreen kiosks.

“We are pleased to have won this highly competitive bid and to have excelled in the rigorous technical review,” said Soumya Das, Inpixon’s chief operating officer. “I believe Inpixon was chosen due in great part to our ability to scale in order to meet the specifications of a large, global enterprise with numerous venues. While there are other mapping providers that may be able to address the requirements of small and mid-sized organisations, there are few that can scale to handle large implementations.”

This shopping centre owner will be able to manage all their mapped venues through a single, browser-based content management system.

“The technical review looked at not only our scalability but also multi-language support, and security and privacy attributes,” said Das. “I believe our selection affirms the investments we’ve made to deliver a high quality enterprise-class indoor data platform. We look forward to working closely with this customer to deliver the contracted solution and to pursuing potential opportunities to add venues and additional use cases as the project progresses.”
