#BuiltWithHERE series explores real-world location-based solutions developers are building with the HERE platform. Each post highlights developer solutions and apps that are timely, innovative, and transformative.

In this blog post, we will showcase the work of Woosmap. Woosmap is a geolocation platform helping businesses to enhance user experiences through advanced location technology. The company is centered on three core pillars: providing accurate location data, ensuring no personal data collection, and delivering value for money through their products and support. 

As a leading provider of location APIs, SDKs and widgets serving businesses and their customer's needs, Woosmap caters to a diverse range of industries including retail, last-mile delivery, travel and hospitality, automotive, finance and insurance, and public services. Some of their valued customers include Sephora, Lacoste, Yves Rocher, Belron, Accor Hotels, Allianz, TotalEnergies, Jaguar, LandRover, Kia, Kawasaki, plus many more.

Within their platform, Woosmap identified an opportunity, specifically for real-time information and data that could empower their customers to solve complex challenges and enhance consumer experiences by providing timely and accurate information.

Services by Woosmap

Woosmap offers a range of products that address a variety of business needs, whether it's customizable and responsive indoor and outdoor maps, improving checkout experiences, or delivering timely location-based notifications. Their existing services are enriched with real-time data, such as HERE Transit API and Time Aware Routing capabilities of the HERE Routing API, bringing substantial value to their customers. Woosmap already supported various travel modes – including driving, cycling and walking – which have now been enhanced with features like distance calculation considering traffic conditions and public transportation capabilities.

When ordering food from a mobile app, users want to collect their food without waiting for it, and expect food to still be hot. Woosmap combines HERE services with its own to help ensure users can pick up their orders without the wait. Using distance with traffic calculations, the system updates travel times for users heading to the restaurant, whether by car or on foot. When a user is near the restaurant, Woosmap's Geofencing triggers the order to the kitchen, so the food is ready and hot upon arrival, avoiding any queues.

Distance with traffic or public transit calculations sort job listings according to user profiles, making it easier to find accessible job opportunities.

Woosmap frequently assists their customers with their geolocation needs with maps, locators for stores, products and services, or any use case involving location services. Their platform enhances the user experience by incorporating location-context, and enabling simple and seamless digital to physical journeys.
