Case Study: U.S. Multinational Beverages Corporation achieves beacon-powered iOS assistive navigation for impaired and international museum visitors with Softeq

Navigates International Guests And Impaired Visitors Using Multi-Beacon Infrastructure

The U.S. multinational beverages corporation engaged Softeq to migrate its museum’s assistive content from a custom Windows Mobile/IR handheld system to an off‑the‑shelf iOS platform (iPhone/iPod Touch). The client needed mobile app and proximity-solution expertise to preserve audio and captioned content for visually and hearing‑impaired guests and international visitors within the beverages museum.

Softeq delivered an iOS assistive‑tech app that uses a multi‑beacon infrastructure to trigger proximity‑based audio and visual descriptions, supports multiple languages, and includes a “Where Am I?” location feature. The team used Gimbal Manager to fine‑tune beacon ranges for accurate playback; Softeq’s proprietary assistive technology (already installed in 35 public venues across the USA) enabled a seamless migration that improved accessibility and onsite content delivery.
