Our Products

Product Overview

m-spatial’s products are focused on enabling consumers to gain quick and simple access to rich and dynamic local information via the most appropriate combination of access channels for their situation – be this mobile, satnav or web.

This simple statement underpins the two key elements of functionality that are delivered by m-spatial’s products:

Search

Our products enable consumers to search for local businesses to meet their needs via mobile, satnav or web. Our definition of search goes far beyond simple delivery of flat business listings information – our unique content aggregation architecture ensures that every search is satisfied by both a broad and deep set of results, whether the user is at home with their PC, or out and about with a mobile phone or satnav device.

Share

Local search is unique in that it connects the virtual world of the internet with the real world of bricks and mortar businesses. Our products enable consumers to take the critical information they need with them – not via scribbles on a piece of paper or a printed map, but via the two portable devices they carry already: their mobile phone and/or their personal navigation system. This information can also be quickly and easily shared with friends and colleagues.

Meeting the Needs of our Customers and Partners

m-spatial recognises that every brand with a need to deliver local information to their customers is at a different stage in their development – and has different requirements for what they need to complete their product offerings.

m-spatial’s products allow us to satisfy the needs of brands across the spectrum:

  • Local Search & Share™ – offers a customised turn-key web/mobile local search and share service for branding by m-spatial’s customers and partners and simple integration with their existing consumer touchpoints. It also includes a full package of advice and support on successfully launching and promoting such services
  • Local Search and Discovery Engine (LSDE)™ – offers m-spatial’s underlying best-of-breed local search/content aggregation capability for use by third parties wishing to incorporate this into their own applications on web, mobile or satnav
  • Spacemark – Spacemark® encapsulates all of the capabilities of Local Search & Share in a branded consumer facing service www.spacemark.com. This is primarily used to enable partners to participate in m-spatial’s ‘Spacemark inside’ co-branding initiative which links third party web-sites and 118/411 voice directory assistance services with mobile and personal navigation services. However, m-spatial also uses the end-to-end Spacemark service to refine new features and promotional mechanisms based on direct user feedback.
