Smart offices with Steerpath

Steerpath solutions include interactive 3D campus maps, indoor positioning, employee mobile apps, and IoT analytics – all integrated into one easy-to-deploy enterprise platform.

With Steerpath, facility CAD drawings are easily converted into colorful online maps. Steerpath acts as a real-time data platform that provides visibility and map-centric tools for enterprise management, employees, and visitors. Google-style maps, with indoor positioning, enable turn-by-turn wayfinding, global to local zooming, and search and find capabilities. IoT devices, such as Haltian occupancy sensors, can be integrated into the Steerpath platform, to support visualizing real-time data on floor plan maps. On top of its mapping platform, the Steerpath platform includes mobile booking tools for office desks and rooms, colleague finding, employee feedback, and workspace analytics for office occupancy and utilization.

Haltian and Steerpath’s collaboration started when Steerpath was seeking a new occupancy sensor solution that was the easiest and quickest to install with mesh connectivity in corporate offices.

Where to find an easy-to-use wireless IoT device?

Office occupancy and utilization analytics have emerged as one of the critical applications for corporate management. It requires the deployment of occupancy sensors in rooms and desks, and connectivity to cloud analytics, dashboards, and mapping. When Steerpath started searching for a partner that provided occupancy sensors, the primary criteria was to select a reliable and accurate device that was easy to deploy with no onsite configuration needed. Also, mesh connectivity was considered important so that the number of gateways on the installation sites could be minimized. The devices were also required to be wireless and have years of battery life for the lowest possible maintenance needs.
