Come prepared

What to have ready — and what we'll ask you.

You don't need any of this to start a conversation. But having it makes the first call twice as useful, and gets you to a real number faster. The full checklist lives in the implementation guide.

Worth gathering beforehand

Rough answers are fine — we're sizing the project, not auditing you.

  • Your floor plans, in any format PDF, CAD, or even the visitor map on your website.
  • A rough destination count Gates, clinics, departments, counters — the places people actually ask for.
  • Where visitors already meet you digitally App, patient portal, booking email, signage, kiosks.
  • Who needs to approve this Operations, IT/security, accessibility, brand, procurement.
  • Your timeline and its driver A terminal opening, an accreditation review, a budget cycle.

What we'll ask on the first call

These five questions determine scope, price, and timeline more than anything else.

  • Where do people get lost today? The specific decision points, not the building in general.
  • What does that cost you now? Staff time, late arrivals, missed connections, complaint volume.
  • How many buildings, floors, and entrances? This drives filming time more than square footage does.
  • Do you want it inside your app, or standalone? API integration and QR launch have different lead times.
  • How will you judge whether it worked? We'd rather agree the success metric before the pilot than after.

Division of labor

What your team actually has to do.

The short version: you decide where people need to go, and we handle everything after that. No new headcount, no internal build.

Responsibility
RouteMe
Your team
Deciding destinations & priorities
Building access for filming
On-site capture & equipment
Route generation & processing
Optional hardware & kiosk install
Branding sign-off
Ongoing route maintenance
Support & analytics

In practice, most clients staff this with a single project owner giving a few hours a week during planning, plus whoever escorts our crew during capture.

Investment

How pricing works — and what moves the number.

RouteMe is quoted per venue rather than off a public price list, because a four-clinic outpatient center and a three-terminal airport aren't the same project. Here's the honest structure behind every quote.

What drives the price

Three variables account for nearly all of it.

  • Venue scale — buildings, floors, entrances, and route count
  • Capture effort — how many days on site to film everything
  • Feature set — kiosks, API integration, Kids Mode, Agent
  • Number of locations, if you're rolling out to a portfolio

What's always included

No line items appear later for these.

  • On-site capture crew and equipment
  • AI route generation, human QA, and privacy blurring
  • White-label branding and 22-language support
  • Route maintenance, updates, and the analytics dashboard
  • Accessibility features — step-free routing, voice, high contrast

What costs nothing

The line items competitors usually charge for.

  • Beacons, sensors, or any wayfinding infrastructure
  • App development — visitors use the browser
  • App store submission and review cycles
  • Per-visitor licensing to use the navigation

Start with a pilot, not the whole portfolio. Most clients begin with one building or terminal at a fixed pilot price, prove the metric they care about, then expand. Expansion locations are cheaper per venue, because the planning template and branding are already done.

Security, privacy & accessibility

What your IT and compliance teams will ask.

We sell into hospitals, airports, and airlines, so these reviews are routine. Here's what we lead with — and we'll get on a call with your security team directly.

No infrastructure on your network

RouteMe is hardware-free. There are no beacons, sensors, or devices to install, nothing to add to your network diagram, and no facilities work — which removes most of the usual security surface before the conversation even starts.

Privacy applied before footage is stored

Every frame passes through our privacy layer first. Faces, badges, ID cards, and sensitive text are automatically detected and blurred before any footage is stored or used to build a route.

No app, no account, no visitor tracking profile

Visitors tap a link or scan a QR code and navigate in the browser. There's no download, no login, and no personal account required to get a route — which keeps your visitor data footprint small by design.

Accessibility is standard, not a paid tier

Step-free routing, haptic feedback, VoiceOver and TalkBack support, high-contrast mode, and WCAG AAA-compliant UI ship on every deployment, with no extra configuration or licensing.

RouteMe automatically blurring a person's face in captured venue footage

Automatic privacy blurring applied during processing — faces, badges, and sensitive text are obscured before footage is stored.

The questions buyers actually ask

The ones that come up on nearly every evaluation call.

Can we try it before signing a long-term contract?

Yes — that's the normal path. Most clients start with a single building, terminal, or floor at a fixed pilot price, agree a success metric up front, and decide on expansion once the data is in. You are not asked to commit the whole portfolio to find out whether it works.

How much of our team's time does this actually take?

Considerably less than an internal build. Expect one project owner spending a few hours a week during the planning phase — mainly filling in the route spreadsheet and reviewing branding — plus someone to escort our capture crew during filming. Everything after capture, including route generation, QA, and ongoing maintenance, sits with us.

What if our building changes after you film it?

Route maintenance is on our side. Departments move, gates get renumbered, and construction reroutes corridors — when that happens we update the affected routes and republish. Because there's no hardware and no app release cycle, changes reach your visitors without an app store review or a truck roll.

Do our visitors have to download anything?

No. RouteMe runs entirely in the mobile browser — a visitor taps a link or scans a QR code and gets full turn-by-turn guidance immediately. If you'd rather it live inside your own app, patient portal, or kiosk, we integrate through a single API call instead.

Does anything need to be installed in our building?

Nothing. No beacons, no sensors, no network hardware, no facilities work. RouteMe is software-only, which is why deployments are measured in weeks rather than quarters and why there's no capital expense line in the quote. Kiosks are available if you want them, but they're optional.

How do you handle privacy in the footage you capture?

Every frame goes through our privacy layer before storage. Faces, badges, ID cards, and sensitive text are automatically detected and blurred as part of processing — not as a manual review afterwards. We'll walk your privacy or compliance team through exactly how that pipeline works.

What happens if the pilot doesn't hit our target?

We agree the metric before the pilot starts, precisely so this conversation is objective. If the number doesn't move, you'll see it in the analytics dashboard alongside where visitors actually dropped off — which usually points at a fixable route or placement issue rather than a verdict on the whole project. And if it isn't a fit, we'd rather know at pilot scale than at portfolio scale.

Can we speak with a current client in our sector?

Just ask. We work with hospitals, airports, airlines, and rental car operators, and we'll connect you with a reference in a venue comparable to yours so you can hear about the rollout without us on the call.

Will it look like our brand or like a third-party tool?

Yours. RouteMe is fully white-labelable — your logo, colors, fonts, welcome messaging, and tone of voice. Visitors experience it as a native part of your product rather than a vendor tool bolted on, whether it's running in your app, on the web, or on a kiosk.

Still evaluating? Start with a conversation, not a contract.

Tell us about your venue and we'll come back within one business day — with a walkthrough tailored to your space and a pilot plan if it's a fit.
