Use Cases
Situate can be used to create many different types of app. The most common are shown below.
Visitor Guides
Incorporate video, audio, images, floor plans and maps into a digital visitor guide app. Keep it up to date using the online CMS.
Audio Guides
Create new audio guides, or adapt an existing audio tour. Situate apps work offline so there are no problems streaming content.
Walking Trails
Situate is great for walking tours. Create route maps and trigger content when users come within a specified radius of a GPS hot spot.
Features
Works Offline
Content is downloaded to the user’s device and thereafter doesn’t require an internet connection to work.
Indefinite App Lifetime
You keep the content up to date and we make sure the technology stays compatible with new operating system versions and devices.
Trigger Content
Content is triggered by location triggers - which can be GPS, Bluetooth Beacons or NFC.
Visitor Flow Data
The app captures location data that provides a rich picture of how visitors are using the venue.
Versions
Create versions of your app for different audiences: languages, visitors with accessibility needs, different themes.
Broadcast Messages
Send announcements to users who have installed your app – even targeting visitors currently in your venue.
