BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pointr, a leading provider of indoor location technology, has partnered with workplace intelligence platform Comfy to integrate its location services into Comfy’s mobile app, further supporting the safe return of employees to the workplace.
Pointr’s Deep Location platform uses machine learning technology to power highly accurate indoor positioning. When integrated into Comfy’s mobile app, it will allow employees to safely move around offices with easily navigable maps, orient themselves and quickly access health and safety amenities such as temperature stations, hand sanitizer or PPE equipment. Safe wayfinding can also be configured to enable one-way routing or to avoid unsafe zones, through a single customized mobile experience.
“Together with Comfy, we’re leading the way to safely bring back employees to workplaces, while supporting our long-term vision to make buildings smarter. We are excited to bring the power of location to workplaces globally so as to enable great employee experiences and safer buildings”, says Ege Akpinar, CEO at Pointr.
Employees can also use Comfy’s mobile platform to view and reserve available desks and conference rooms, give feedback on the workspace environment, submit work requests and access updates and information on building policies and health and safety guidelines.
“This partnership further empowers Comfy to create healthy and safe workplaces for employees and optimized, flexible spaces for businesses,” said Erica Eaton, Interim CEO and COO, Comfy. “The addition of Pointr’s location services to Comfy’s mobile platform strengthens our ability to support businesses with their safe return to offices, and to build intelligent workplaces for future working models.”
