Our Company

What we do

m-spatial is a leading local search company – proven by track record and driven by a vision of enabling consumers to search for and share local information, not just on mobile, satnav, or web as isolated experiences – but via all three channels seamlessly combined.

m-spatial’s local search and share solutions drive new revenues for its partners from local search across these channels by delighting consumers and advertisers with uniquely accurate, rich and shareable results drawn from leading commercial content providers and user generated sources.

m-spatial’s partners include directory service providers, personal navigation providers, mobile operators and web-site owners.

How we do it

m-spatial’s products utilise unique leading edge technology to deliver a user experience for searching for and sharing rich and dynamic local information that is second to none.

This user experience encompasses:

  • An innovative ‘search’ capability that is underpinned by an unrivalled breadth and depth of local content dynamically aggregated from m-spatial’s growing network of content partners and user generated content
  • A unique ‘share’ capability that allows users to ‘spacemark’ places in the same way as web pages can be ‘bookmarked’ which in turn allows users to share places either between one or more of their own devices or with friends and colleagues
  • A unique advertising inventory available to advertisers which ensures the consumer only experiences highly relevant and non-intrusive advertising

In addition to offering uniquely innovative technology solutions, m-spatial also possesses unrivalled knowledge of consumer needs and behaviour in searching for and sharing local information across multiple channels – critical to the successful rollout and promotion of new services.

Who we are

m-spatial was founded in June 2001 and has built a market leading position through its ground breaking work in the UK, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands with blue chip partners such as Orange, Vodafone, O2 and Seat Pagine Gialle, the leading Italian directory provider.

We employ a highly skilled team of experts focused on the complex technical and commercial problems associated with delivering a simple and intuitive user experience for consumers accessing large quantities of rich and dynamic local content – to the benefit of consumers, advertisers and m-spatial’s partners alike.

m-spatial is owned by its employees and long term committed investors including Esprit Capital Partners, Alta Berkeley and Delta Partners.
