Consulting on indoor location technologies

Grizzly Analytics was the first mobile industry analysis firm to focus on indoor location technologies. We first reported on them in May 2011 and released our first dedicated report on the area in December 2011. Our latest revised report covers R&D by over 20 major mobile companies and over 30 start-ups.

The reason that we were first in the area is that we focus on R&D in progress at major technology vendors and start-up companies, rather than focusing on technology already in the market.  Our Chief Analyst is a Computer Science PhD, not an MBA.  Our reports review over a hundred patent filings and dozens of research reports and presentations.  We've spoken directly to dozens of start-up companies in the area, and seen a lot of their technology with our own eyes (such as here and here). We've been quoted in numerous articles on the subject of indoor location, such as here and here.

Besides selling reports to technology vendors and other major companies world-wide, we're offering consulting services to an increasing number of companies who need to understand this new area. Which technology fits your specific needs? Which company would be best for you to partner with? Which system should you deploy at your site? Which technology can best integrate with yours? We've answered these and other questions for many of our consulting customers.

Find out more about the consulting we can offer you by e-mailing us at info@grizzlyanalytics.com or calling us at +1-908-827-1580.

Indoor Location, GeoFencing and Retail (Updated w/ video)

We've written a lot about indoor location technology , which is bringing location services indoors where GPS doesn't work. And we've written more recently about GeoFencing , a new location technology that enables smartphones to display content or take other actions when entering a specified area. And a few weeks ago we wrote about a company that was bringing the two together . Now Aisle411 has entered the ring, adding GeoFencing to their indoor solution . And they're bringing GeoFencing to life in the retail store industry . Aisle411's solution lets you navigate your way around a store to find specific products on the shelves. You can even enter your whole shopping list, or the items you need for a recipe, and the app will guide you around the store to buy everything you need quickly.   And here's where the GeoFencing comes in:  As you near certain products, you'll get offers for related products on your smartphone screen. They might be as s...

Finding indoor location tech, and fans, at MWC 2017

Over 100,000 people are now planning to attend the 2017 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, in February. Many will flock to the newest devices, many to the keynote speeches from market leaders, and many to the latest tech from a huge variety of exhibitors. But how does anyone find all the tech they want to see? Anyone who has been to MWC in the past will tell you that there is no way to be sure you're seeing all that you want to see. Anyone interested in indoor location technology now has a solution.

(Obviously we may miss one, but since we've reported on indoor location tech from over 200 companies , we expect to be fairly comprehensive.) The guide will be organized by technology type and also by MWC hall number, so you can plan your time accordingly. If you are exhibiting i...
