Frequently Asked Questions
What stage are you at?
We're pre-launch and working with pilot partners to refine the product. If you're a venue operator or investor interested in indoor navigation, let's talk.
How long does setup take?
Initial venue mapping and beacon installation takes 2-4 weeks depending on venue size. Once deployed, infrastructure works for every future event.
Does it really work without WiFi?
Yes. Maps download with tickets. Positioning uses Bluetooth beacons and local sensors—no internet required once the initial download completes.
What about battery drain?
AR activates only when the phone is raised. We're optimizing for minimal battery impact during typical event durations.
Can it integrate with existing systems?
Yes. We're building integrations with major ticketing platforms, venue management systems and POS terminals. Custom integrations available for early partners.
What happens during emergencies?
Operators can push emergency routes and notifications instantly through the dashboard. Guide guests to exits or safe zones in real time.
Why haven't other companies solved this?
Most indoor navigation solutions rely on WiFi (which fails under load) or require expensive infrastructure. We've built a system that works entirely offline using affordable Bluetooth beacons and smartphone sensors.
What does a pilot partnership look like?
We work closely with each venue to understand their specific needs and challenges. Terms are flexible and designed to make it easy for you to try NAVIO risk-free. Let's talk about what works for you.
