I think Locatrix has the potential to be a major digital disruptor of the global indoor mapping industry.  Safety systems are only needed when it's too late or mandated by Government laws - this could be the go to for a range of industries; to help with workspace and workforce planning, security and first responder intelligence and the safety and security of humans in locations around the world. It's exciting to imagine the possibilities”.
