Product 101: Digital Directory

Mappedin's Digital Directory is a branded and optimized digital signage solution that allows visitors to navigate with up-to-date digital maps.

Our Digital Directory is the product that started it all. Created to showcase a digital indoor map; our directory provides an overview of a venue, indoor navigation and wayfinding, and the ability to explore and see amenities across an entire property. Visitors can then select a location and have the most efficient route mapped out for them. 

What does the Digital Directory do? 

The Digital Directory solution caters to multiple types of visitors. With a user-friendly interface, visitors can easily discover what’s available within a venue and navigate through best-in-class wayfinding and search.

Customer and user benefits 

Effective in multiple spaces, Directories have proven particularly successful in retail and mixed-use industries. 

Based on a recent study to discover if the implementation of digital directories leads to increased sales, it was found that digital directories were positively linked to overall retail profitability. 

The data gathered goes one step further for proving ROI. For users that come into a mall (specifically a destination mall), they are able to discover what is available, and being able to capitalize on driving their decisions is incredibly valuable. 

From these interactions, brands can gain valuable insights on what visitors are looking for and selecting in different locations. All of these interactions are logged in the analytics dashboard.
