Accruent and MapsPeople Partner to Get People to Their Meetings, Classes and Events Faster

Accruent has announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with MapsPeople, creator of an indoor navigation platform based on Google Maps.  The alliance will allow corporations, universities and other organizations to reduce the complexity of locating meetings and people within large facilities, increasing employee productivity and decreasing visitor frustration by delivering internal maps in connection with employee and meeting information.

To help companies, organizations and schools to reduce time spent searching for meeting rooms, people and workspaces, Accruent and MapsPeople have agreed to provide mutual support of client solutions including Accruent’s EMS resource and room scheduling application and MapsPeople’s MapsIndoors navigation application.

Using the combination of EMS and MapsIndoors, users can:

• Schedule meetings and workspaces from their device or scheduling kiosks and get immediate access to indoor navigation information
• Get a real-time overview of an entire office space or campus with the tap of a finger
• Integrate MapsIndoors and EMS with a variety of sensors to monitor whether booked meeting spaces are occupied or left unused, improving space usage analysis
