Applications
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 Tours
Create new audio tours, or adapt an existing audio tour. Situate works offline so there are no problems streaming content.
Walking Trails
Great for walking tours. Create trail maps, and trigger content when users come within a specified radius of a GPS hot spot.
Events
Help visitors orientate around an unfamiliar location and provide timetables and details. Send notifications to users at the event.
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 devices.
Trigger Content
Content is triggered when a user comes within range of a location trigger – iBeacons or GPS coordinates.
Visitor Flow Data
The location triggers capture data that gives a rich picture of how visitors are using your venue.
Versions
Create versions of your app for different audiences: languages, visitors with accessibility needs, different themes.

Send announcements to users who have installed your app – even targeting visitors currently in your venue.

Download the Situate App
The Situate app is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. It is free to download. Any app that you create using the Situate Admin Tool will automatically appear in the Situate App. Optionally, you can publish your app as a standalone app under its own name in the app stores.
iBeacon Technology
You do not need iBeacons in order to offer Situate to your visitors. Without iBeacons visitors can manually navigate through your content. However, iBeacons add that element of ‘magic’. Visitors are automatically shown relevant content as they move around your physical space.
The iBeacon hardware is very simple to install. There is no requirement for any wiring, external power or network/wi-fi connection. Simply stick them to the wall or ceiling – and just twist to remove.
