CHALLENGES
Three cultural institution challenges that Wemap solves.
Highlights missed
"Our visitors get lost between galleries and miss the highlights — paper signage is no longer enough."
Wemap guides visitors from the entrance to the artwork with an interactive map accessible by QR code — no app download. 20%+ of visitors at Père Lachaise use it spontaneously.
Disconnected heritage data
"Our heritage inventory is in an ERP — impossible to connect it to our building maps in real time."
Wemap Pro syncs your heritage data every 24h from your ERP or database. 3,000 artworks located in real time at Versailles.
Rich trails too costly
"Creating rich themed trails — audio, video, AR — represents a prohibitive production cost."
Wemap Pro lets your teams create multimedia trails without development. OpenAI integration for translation, ElevenLabs for audio. Multilingual itineraries in hours.
