Effective wayfinding is imperative in the modern business landscape to ensure smooth navigation and accessibility within extensive facilities. However, businesses often face significant challenges in managing and implementing wayfinding systems. To explore these challenges and how Wayfindit addresses them, we spoke with Lauren Kelly, Founder of Wayfindit.
The Complexity of Wayfinding
One of the primary challenges businesses encounter with wayfinding is managing large ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and architectural programs. Lauren explains, “When you have a lot of tactile signs, dozens or hundreds of signs, it’s hard to keep track of where they go, what they say, and who’s approved them.” This complexity can lead to inefficiencies and errors, ultimately impacting the user experience and regulatory compliance.
Streamlining Sign Management
Wayfindit offers a solution to these challenges by simplifying the management of tactile signs. The platform allows businesses to plot where all their signs go, see what they say, and provide a user-friendly interface for clients to review and comment on them. “Wayfindit helps with being able to plot where all of those signs go easily, see what they say, and then give a straightforward interface for the clients to review and comment on it,” says Lauren. This streamlined process ensures that all stakeholders are on the same page, reducing the risk of errors and improving overall efficiency.
Enhancing ADA Compliance
ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) is a critical aspect of wayfinding, and Wayfindit is designed to help businesses meet these standards. The platform allows for detailed sign location plans and schedules, ensuring all signs are placed correctly and meet ADA requirements.
