MappedIn is an innovative company based in Waterloo, Ontario, with a mission to make the indoors discoverable – whether a mall, hospital, retail store, campus, warehouse, or airport.

It developed an indoor geographical information system (GIS) to allow property owners and managers to maintain accurate maps of indoor spaces by delivering a dataset of what’s indoors, providing a better digital experiences for their visitors. MappedIn’s main customers are major real estate investment trusts from around the globe, but the platform can be used for other spaces as well, such as commercial office space at healthcare locations.

However, there was inconsistency between mapping tools and digital maps offered by service providers and property owner maps. This lack of consistency and interoperability was creating inefficiencies across the industry. SCC provided the company with the support it needed to lead an international industry consortium of major mall facility owners and digital device providers that developed an international standard for the indoor mapping industry to address this issue.
