Custom Wayfinding Kiosk Solutions We Build

We develop custom wayfinding software for places where visitors need a simple way to understand their surroundings and reach their destination. Our experts build the experience around your space and how people move through it.

Interactive Wayfinding Kiosks

Help visitors explore a location through an interactive touchscreen map. They can search for a destination, view nearby places, and follow directions without relying on staff for basic navigation.

Digital Wayfinding Kiosks

Turn a physical location directory into an easy to use digital experience. A digital wayfinding solution can display buildings, departments, stores, facilities, and other locations while making information easier to find and update.

Indoor Wayfinding Kiosks

Create navigation experiences for complex indoor environments such as hospitals, malls, airports, universities, hotels, and office buildings. Visitors can search for specific rooms or facilities and receive directions based on the layout of the building.

Outdoor Wayfinding Kiosks

Help people navigate large outdoor spaces with ease. Outdoor wayfinding software can display maps, destinations, walking routes, landmarks, and location information in one place.

Directory & Location Finder Kiosks

Make it easier for visitors to find businesses or facilities within a property. Searchable directories can organize locations by name, category, floor, or other information that makes sense for your visitors.

Multilingual Wayfinding Kiosks

Make navigation accessible to visitors who speak different languages. The kiosk interface, location information, directions, and other content can be localized into multiple languages based on your audience's needs.

Who We Build Wayfinding Solutions For

We develop wayfinding software for organizations that manage large, busy, or unfamiliar spaces where visitors may need help finding their destination.

Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities

Help patients and visitors navigate departments, clinics, rooms, reception areas, pharmacies, and other parts of a healthcare facility. The kiosk can provide searchable locations and directions while reducing routine wayfinding questions for staff.

Shopping Malls & Retail Centers

Give shoppers an easier way to find stores, restaurants, restrooms, entrances, parking areas, and other facilities. The system can also provide business information and location details alongside the map.

Schools & Universities

Help students, parents, staff, and visitors find classrooms, offices, libraries, laboratories, halls, and other campus facilities. A wayfinding kiosk can cover individual buildings or connect multiple areas across a larger campus.

Airports & Transportation Hubs

Make it easier for passengers to find gates, terminals, baggage areas, ticket counters, lounges, restrooms, and other important locations. An interactive wayfinding kiosk can bring navigation, directories, and important location information together in one accessible interface. 

Hotels & Resorts

Help guests find rooms, restaurants, conference spaces, pools, recreational areas, reception, and other facilities across the property. The experience can also include hotel information and nearby points of interest.

Corporate Buildings & Large Offices

Give employees and visitors a simple way to locate departments, meeting rooms, offices, reception areas, and other spaces with a custom office wayfinding solution. The system can connect with building directories and other workplace systems where required.

How Much Does Custom Wayfinding Software Development Cost?

Custom wayfinding software projects may start around $10,000 for a relatively basic solution and can exceed $100,000 for larger or more complex platforms. Final cost depends on factors such as the number of locations, map complexity, navigation features, kiosk hardware, languages, integrations, content management requirements, and whether the system needs to support multiple kiosks or properties.

Features & Integrations We Can Build

A useful wayfinding system needs to do more than display a map. We build features that help visitors find information quickly while giving your team practical tools to manage the system.

How a Connected Wayfinding Kiosk System Works

A wayfinding kiosk usually operates as part of a larger software ecosystem rather than as a standalone touchscreen. Multiple components work together to keep maps, locations, directions, and kiosk content accurate and up to date. 

Kiosk Layer

The software running on the physical kiosk and handling touchscreen interactions, maps, searches, directions, media, and other visitor facing functions.

Map & Navigation Engine

The system responsible for storing location data, understanding routes, and generating directions based on your building, campus, property, or outdoor environment.

Cloud Backend

Central services that manage application logic, location data, users, content, kiosk communication, and connections with other systems.

Management Dashboard

A centralized interface for managing locations, maps, directories, content, languages, kiosk settings, and other operational information.

Visitor Interface

The touchscreen experience visitors use to search for destinations, browse locations, view maps, select routes, and access other information.

Integration Layer

APIs and services that connect the wayfinding platform with existing directories, databases, building systems, scheduling tools, CMS platforms, and other third-party services.

Why Choose Custom Wayfinding Kiosk Software?

Off-the-shelf wayfinding platforms may provide basic maps and directories, but they may not fit the layout, navigation requirements, branding, workflows, or information structure of every location. A hospital may need department- and patient-focused navigation, while a shopping mall may prioritize store directories, amenities, and promotional content. A one-size-fits-all platform may struggle to accommodate these differences.

Wayfinding Kiosk Software Development Process

Our team follows a structured process to build wayfinding software around your location, kiosk hardware, navigation requirements, and visitor experience.

Discovery & Requirements

We begin by understanding your location, visitors, kiosk hardware, maps, existing systems, and project goals. We look at how people currently navigate the space and identify the information and routes the kiosk needs to support.

Map & Software Architecture

We define how the maps, location data, navigation engine, kiosk application, backend, management dashboard, and integrations will work together. For larger properties, we also consider multiple floors, buildings, entrances, and other navigation points.

UX & Interface Design

Our designers create a clear touchscreen experience that helps visitors find what they need without unnecessary steps. We consider screen size, map interaction, search, language selection, accessibility, branding, and the different types of visitors using the kiosk.

Development & Integration

Our team develops the kiosk application, navigation functionality, backend services, management dashboard, APIs, and integrations included in the project scope. The software is built around the available kiosk hardware and the requirements of your location.

Testing & Deployment

We test the complete experience across searches, routes, maps, touchscreen interactions, languages, accessibility features, integrations, and different navigation scenarios. The software is then prepared for deployment on the required kiosk hardware and environment.

Maintenance & Support

After launch, we can continue supporting the system, updating functionality, improving the visitor experience, and helping your team manage changes as locations, directories, maps, and operational requirements evolve.

Awards & Recognition

We thrive on accelerating the path to disruption and implementing agile methodologies to design, build, deliver, and scale digital solutions. Our future-proof, growth-centric tech has earned us notable awards and recognition across industries and regions.

Why Companies Choose LinkitSoft for Wayfinding Software Development

Building a wayfinding and kiosk system involves more than creating an attractive map. The software needs to make sense of your physical space while giving visitors a simple way to find where they need to go.

Experience With Connected Kiosk Systems

We develop kiosk solutions that bring together touchscreen applications, backend platforms, APIs, hardware, and third party systems. This allows us to approach wayfinding as a complete software ecosystem rather than just a digital map.

Software Built Around Your Location

Every building and property has its own layout, terminology, destinations, and visitor flow. We build the software around your maps, locations, navigation requirements, branding, and operational needs instead of forcing your environment into a fixed structure.

Hardware-Aware Development

The software needs to work properly with the physical device. We consider the operating system, touchscreen, connectivity, display, peripherals, and other available hardware when developing the solution.

New Kiosks or Existing Systems

Starting from scratch? We can build the wayfinding system from the ground up. Already have kiosks or a digital directory in place? We can work with your existing setup and focus on upgrading the parts that need improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you build an interactive wayfinding kiosk for a multi-floor building?

We can develop interactive wayfinding for buildings with multiple floors, departments, rooms, entrances, and connected areas. The navigation experience can account for available routes, elevators, stairs, escalators, and other relevant paths.

The kiosk interface and location information can be developed to support multiple languages. Visitors can select their preferred language and navigate the system using localized menus, maps, directions, and other content.

We can develop software for outdoor environments such as campuses, parks, resorts, large properties, transportation areas, and public spaces. The functionality can include maps, searchable destinations, walking routes, landmarks, and location information.

We can develop custom wayfinding software for kiosks around supported Chinese and third party kiosk hardware. The exact approach depends on the kiosk’s operating system, hardware components, available interfaces, SDKs, APIs, and other technical specifications.

We can connect the kiosk to supported directories, databases, APIs, CMS platforms, and other systems so that location information can be shared across them rather than maintained separately.

Accessibility can be considered during the interface and software development process. Depending on your requirements, the kiosk can support features such as larger text, clear navigation, audio guidance, and accessible interface elements.

A custom management dashboard can allow authorized staff to update locations, directories, content, maps, languages, and other information remotely, depending on how the system is designed.

A typical custom wayfinding software project may take approximately 2 to 6 months, depending on the number of kiosks, map complexity, navigation requirements, hardware, integrations, languages, and overall scope. We define a more precise timeline after reviewing your location, technical environment, and project requirements.
