Bring the blue dot indoors

ArcGIS IPS is an indoor positioning system that allows you to locate yourself and others inside a building in real time. Similar to GPS, it puts a blue dot on indoor maps and uses location services to help you navigate to any point of interest or destination. Real-time indoor navigation, location sharing, and location tracking empower customers, visitors, and contractors. Indoor location data collection and analytics can help your organisation increase efficiency and improve customer service.

What indoor positioning can do for you

Boost indoor location awareness

Organisations can use ArcGIS IPS to allow employees and visitors to better orient themselves inside their facilities and navigate to people, assets, and places in real time. The blue dot transitions seamlessly on the map as the user enters or exits the building or switches between floor levels.

Streamline indoor operations

Indoor operations such as maintenance work require excellent coordination and workforce management. Enable indoor tracking and location sharing for your employees and workers to facilitate collaboration and monitor operations with complete transparency and visibility. Effectively coordinate and dispatch the right resources to do the right job at the right place inside the building.

ArcGIS IPS in the Esri environment

You can unlock ArcGIS IPS in ArcGIS Indoors, an indoor mapping system for smart building management, or access it via ArcGIS Runtime SDKs to power your cutting-edge, custom-built indoor positioning app.
ArcGIS IPS comes with ArcGIS Setup, a mobile app that allows you to collect radio signals from Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Beacons inside your buildings to enable the indoor positioning system. It can make use of an existing or new Beacon infrastructure and is vendor agnostic. ArcGIS IPS geoprocessing tools are also included to set up and author your indoor positioning environment in ArcGIS Pro.
