When researching a purchase for a digital building directory or digital signage system for commercial or office properties, there are a few key aspects to consider, especially in 2025. For digital directories that go beyond static listings, here are key considerations about Navigo® Digital Building Directories you’ll want to consider:
Cloud-based Solutions: Buildings today require scalable, cloud-based directory systems. These systems allow users to manage directories remotely and update information in real-time, making it convenient for large office complexes and multi-tenant buildings to reach people on-site with relevant and timely information.
With Navigo® you have access to a robust content management system to future proof your building communications and keep people informed in real-time.
Customizability and Flexibility: Property owners and managers want customizable features, such as the ability to integrate tenant information, manage room bookings, or link with existing facility management tools. Some digital directories also offer integrations with collaboration tools like Microsoft and Building Engines.
Navigo® works with a broad variety of partners to customize the solutions you need to meet the needs of your property and your people.
Interactive and Touchless Experiences: Post-pandemic trends favor touchless, interactive screens that reduce the need for physical contact. These are often paired with mobile apps or QR codes to give users quick access to directories.
Navigo® can provide an interactive experience with content on a touchscreen system or a contact-free display that connects users with their mobile device.
Sustainability and Green Tech: Many buyers prefer directories that align with energy-efficient, eco-friendly practices, such as systems that use less power or are part of a broader "smart building" infrastructure that includes IoT and energy management solutions.
Navigo® supports your green initiative by eliminating waste on printed material and stagnant signage and can collect and report information about your property’s environmental impact.
Enhanced User Experience: There’s growing demand for features like real-time wayfinding and navigation, augmented reality for building maps, and multi-language support, especially for large corporate campuses or international buildings.
Navigo® can provide these and other numerous virtual self-help services that are accessible from your digital signage displays and kiosks. To learn more about installing a Navigo® on your property, get in touch with us here.
