Pointr And Comfy Partner For Safer, Smarter Workplaces With Location Services
Partnership combines location-based services and a workplace intelligence platform for enhanced employee experience and a safe return to the workplace
Pointr, a leading provider of indoor location technology, has partnered with workplace intelligence platform Comfy to integrate its location services into Comfy’s mobile app, further supporting the safe return of employees to the workplace.
Pointr’s Deep Location platform uses machine learning technology to power highly accurate indoor positioning. When integrated into Comfy’s mobile app, it will allow employees to safely move around offices with easily navigable maps, orient themselves and quickly access health and safety amenities such as temperature stations, hand sanitizer or PPE equipment. Safe wayfinding can also be configured to enable one-way routing or to avoid unsafe zones, through a single customized mobile experience.

Employees can also use Comfy’s mobile platform to view and reserve available desks and conference rooms, give feedback on the workspace environment, submit work requests and access updates and information on building policies and health and safety guidelines.
