Receiving an award with its “Mobile Application with Indoor Navigation” project which aims to create a productive fair experience for its exhibitors and visitors in terms of timing and performance in complex and large exhibition halls, Hannover Fairs Turkey’s application had risen up to 3rd place amongst the most downloaded business applications on Apple Store.
With 600 beacons installed on the roofs of the exhibition venue, Bluetooth signals from customer’s cell phones are captured and their locations are determined even when they are in an indoor area, which is the most impressive feature of the project. The application allows visitors and exhibitors to map out a route to whichever stand, conference hall or common area they wish to visit and find these points with ease. In addition to this, the application creates a unique and location-based advertisement platform for companies that have a stand at the fair, to make advertisement with a direct target market focus, which proves to be user-friendly and distinct feature of the application.
