Living Map's core product is its Live Positioning platform, a software solution that provides accurate indoor positioning where GPS is unavailable and without requiring expensive hardware. The platform has been deployed by Singapore Airlines to guide passengers through Heathrow and is set to be rolled out at other airports via a partnership with Star Alliance. Living Map has also produced systems for venues including Canary Wharf, New York’s MET Museum and the RUH Bath Hospital to help new staff navigate. The company plans to make the technology easily integrable across multiple sites, mobile devices and third-party applications so developers can add indoor wayfinding or asset-tracking features. Mercia has backed Living Map since 2018, investing from its EIS funds. The business recently secured a government loan to fast-track development and open up global opportunities. Living Map provides a software platform that lets organizations locate and track assets or people in real time across both outdoor and indoor spaces. Its technology can be integrated with sensors or other monitoring systems to track high-value medical equipment in hospitals, monitor components in large manufacturing plants, or map air quality across a city. The company has produced digital mapping systems for venues such as Canary Wharf, Heathrow Airport and the MET Museum in New York, and recently built systems to help key workers navigate Bath and RUH Bath Hospital. Founded in 2010 by urban design consultant Tim Fendley and led by CEO Dominic Hazlehurst, Living Map employs over 25 staff. The company recently closed an £850k funding round to further enhance its technology and support the roll-out of a new airport passenger transfer guidance service. Living Map, founded in 2010 and based in Bath, UK, provides “location of things” software that enables customers to produce customised maps for both outdoor and indoor spaces. Its platform can be linked to sensors to locate and track people or assets in real time, with example use cases including monitoring high-value products on production lines and mapping air quality across a city. The company was founded by urban design consultant Tim Fendley and is also led by Adam Coxen. Living Map raised a further £2.6m in funding, bringing total funding to £3.8m to date. Backers included Committed Capital, Mercia and other existing shareholders. The company intends to use the funds to launch a new software package to broaden adoption among large indoor venues such as airports, retail sites, hospitals, and for smart city deployments.
