Turn your content into a living map with the Pointsearch™ API
Our patented technology combines geolocation with gesture, letting users simply point their mobile phone at a location—or even someone else’s device—to return instant information or enable rich interactions and transactions.
Say goodbye to typing in clunky search bars and hello to a more natural, intuitive user experience. Our gesture-based interface allows your users to interact with the app effortlessly, using simple gestures to explore their surroundings, refine searches, and navigate results with ease.
Our advanced geolocation algorithms ensure users find exactly what they’re looking for, right when they need it. Whether they’re searching for the closest café, a boutique shop, or the best-rated tourist spot, our technology delivers pinpoint results in real-time. Additionally, you can tailor the information return with a better understanding of intent and immediacy of a user who is searching for things nearby.
Our API also supports creating and searching for dynamic POIs which enables our interface to be used for POIs that may change locations such as a food truck, an event or even another user’s phone. This unique capability could provide your users to connect to each other without needing to share phone numbers or other personal information or could provide a simple interface for transactions.
Whether you’re targeting iOS, Android, or mobile web users, our solutions are fully optimized to provide a consistent, high-performance experience across all platforms. No matter where your users are or what device they’re using, they’ll have access to powerful, hyper-local search capabilities at their fingertips.
