About

SpotSense was a location intelligence product built to solve a simple problem: most “location-based” experiences break down the moment you walk indoors. The platform provided accurate indoor positioning and presence detection so businesses and app teams could power experiences like indoor navigation, context-aware notifications, asset/people wayfinding, and analytics about how spaces were actually used. The product combined an indoor-location SDK with a web-based management layer, giving teams a practical way to deploy location capabilities without stitching together fragile beacon logic or relying on GPS. It was designed to be more dependable than basic geofencing and more useful than raw beacon signal data, with a focus on turning indoor movement into something apps and operators could act on.
