- Deploy with minimal setup, leveraging existing infrastructure with no extra hardware needed.
Situm IPS is used across airports, hospitals, shopping malls, corporate buildings, and industrial facilities, ensuring reliable and scalable indoor positioning for any environment.
We work on what you already have…
The core technology behind Situm IPS (Indoor Positioning System) Platform and its indoor navigation and wayfinding solutions is an algorithm that merges preexisting information in the environment (magnetic fields, Bluetooth, WiFi) with data from inertial sensors inside smartphones (compass, gyroscope and accelerometer) to provide real time indoor location with an accuracy of less than 5 meters without the need of additional hardware.

Indoor & Outdoor Positioning for Android & iOS
Situm’s positioning technology ensures accurate real-time location tracking indoors and outdoors.
- Our system provides smooth transitions between indoor & outdoor environments, delivering a continuous and seamless user experience.
- Works on all mobile platforms: Android, iOS, Flutter, React Native, Cordova, Capacitor…
High Accuracy with Minimal Infrastructure
Achieve an accuracy of 1-5 meters with minimal infrastructure:
- Beacon-free positioning for tracking apps (WiFi required).
- Beacon-based and Beacon-free options available for wayfinding apps (BLE beacons, WiFi, or infrastructure-free outdoor GPS).
- Smart fusion of all the sensors available (BLE, WiFi; GPS) of the environment with the movement of the user and the topology of the environment.
Automatic Building & Floor Detection
- Our technology automatically detects which building and floor the user is on by relying on the WiFi / BLE / GPS signals detected.
- This allows for accurate navigation in multi-story buildings like hospitals, shopping malls, and offices.
Works Offline – Battle-Tested for Workforce Tracking
All positioning calculations are done on-device, ensuring smooth operation even without an internet connection—a crucial feature for areas with limited connectivity.
Situm IPS is optimized for continuous tracking, even when the smartphone is in a pocket or bag. It:
- Generates a location update every second, ensuring precise movement tracking.
- Stores data locally when offline and syncs when the internet is available.
- Provides geoanalytics such as heatmaps, trajectories or time spent per area.
Easy Deployment
With Situm Mapping Tool, setting up a venue is fast and straightforward:
- Deploy an accurate indoor positioning system in hours, not weeks.
- Just walk around the venue to capture positioning signals… DONE!
- Define zones, floors, and paths effortlessly.

Situm Indoor Positioning System FAQ
Situm provides a high-accuracy positioning system that works seamlessly indoors and outdoors using WiFi, BLE beacons, GPS, and smartphone sensors. It enables real-time location tracking, wayfinding, and workforce monitoring in venues like airports, hospitals, and corporate buildings.
No, Situm can work without additional hardware by leveraging existing WiFi signals and smartphone sensors. Situm also supports BLE beacons to refine positioning, but can work completely beacon free if needed.
Situm delivers an accuracy of 1-5 meters depending on the infrastructure used. It provides smooth indoor-outdoor transitions and automatic floor detection, ensuring precise navigation across multi-level buildings.
Yes! Situm is widely used for workforce monitoring in facility management, security, and logistics. The system provides real-time tracking, route optimization, and geofencing alerts, helping organizations increase efficiency and ensure compliance.
Yes, Situm computes positioning directly on the smartphone, meaning it works even without an internet connection. Stored location data can be synced later when the device reconnects.
Deployment is very simple. First, upload your venue floorplans to Situm Dashboard. Then, with Situm Mapping Tool, walk through the venue to capture signals (WiFi, BLE, etc.). Indoor positioning can be deployed in a matter of hours in most venues, without extensive setup.
Situm provides SDKs for Android, iOS, Flutter, React Native, and Cordova, along with REST & Web APIs to integrate positioning, wayfinding, and analytics into your mobile apps, websites, or enterprise systems.
