Floor Plan Mapper is a true enterprise solution, especially when coupled with the Windows Active Directory or Office 365.

Pricing: Floor Plan Mapper’s flexible pricing model for the self hosted on-premise versions means you only pay once . No subscription or maintenance fees. And, no limits or restrictions on the number of floors or number of employees Floor Plan Mapper can manage.

Self Hosting: The ability to install a secure on-premise self hosted version of Floor Plan Mapper employee mapping software sets us apart from other office mapping solutions. You can keep your sensitive employee profile data safe by hosting and integrating internally.

Performance: Due to the underlying mapping technology Floor Plan Mapper utilizes (GIS – Geographic Information System), performance is never a concern; no matter the number of floors or employees.
