This Press Release Announces That SPREO Named as Cool Vendor by Gartner, in Gartner’s September 2018 Cool Vendor Report for Wayfinding

SPREO, a leading provider of location and wayfinding solution, is pleased to announce that it has been included in the list of “Cool Vendors” in the September 2018 “Cool Vendors in Location Services for Wayfinding”. According to the report, “Getting lost indoors is a waste of time and resources. Many hospitals, malls, airports or any enterprise campus can be large, complex and difficult to
navigate. I&O leaders must use the innovative technologies and applications from wayfinding vendors to lead end users to their destination.”

SPERO uses a combination of location intelligence with natural language processing and artificial intelligence, making it possible to build an indoor location application that includes a chat bot. Using voice or text input, users can ask for directions, search for a point of interest, or even say something more specific such as:

• “I need a conference room in the sales department that fits 7 for tomorrow at 2 p.m.“
• “I would like to find all infusion pumps on the second floor.”
• “Take me to room 314.”

“We feel that being a part of Gartner’s Cool Vendors is an honor for SPREO. With the inclusion of our chatbot, we have essentially made the wayfinding experience laborless for our users. SPREO’s chatbot encompasses multiple system actions, which means that our users don’t necessarily have to learn the ins and outs of our platform, and so confusion is minimized and functionality is optimized with our chatbot.”
