A complex challenge with a simple solution

Wayleadr’s mission is to simplify parking and transit for companies and their employees. Before partnering with MapsPeople, their users often faced avoidable frustrations:

• Navigation relied on static PDFs or scattered information in emails and team channels.
• First-time visitors frequently struggled to find parking or building entrances, leading to confusion and delays.
• Businesses lacked an efficient way to provide navigation tools that felt modern or reliable.

As Garrett Flower, CEO of Wayleadr, described, "You were looking at different sources... and now at a click of a button, it’s all there. Visually presented through MapsPeople on the Wayleadr app." Addressing these issues required rethinking how navigation could work for users while supporting the needs of growing organizations.

Transforming navigation into an advantage

The solution wasn’t about adding more features, but about reimagining navigation as an integrated part of the user experience. By partnering with MapsPeople, Wayleadr introduced interactive maps that redefined how users interact with their environments:

• Employees and visitors could quickly locate parking spots, EV chargers, and building entrances, saving valuable time.
• The platform’s adaptable design allowed it to scale for customers ranging from single locations to global operations.
• A focus on simplicity and usability ensured the maps aligned with modern expectations while supporting diverse use cases.

"When I looked at MapsPeople and identified versus competitors... what it came down to was a number of factors. I did really like the design and maps that you had created. It was the closest thing to what I was visualizing in my head for the experience for the user," Garrett explained.

This shift in navigation tools positioned Wayleadr to meet the growing demands of their customers while setting the stage for future opportunities.

How saving a single minute changes everything

Saving one minute may seem insignificant, but for Wayleadr’s users, it adds up to measurable results. Thousands of employees and visitors across their customers’ organizations experience faster navigation every day, translating to significant time savings on a global scale.

• Employees save time daily, enabling smoother transitions between locations and reducing frustration.
• Customers benefit from a product that adapts to their needs and scales effortlessly across locations and regions.
• These efficiencies free organizations to focus on delivering value where it matters most.

"We save a minute every day. But when you count it up, and it’s 270 workdays a year, and then you multiply it by thousands of people in one workplace or a million across the world, that’s a lot of time—lifetimes of time, actually," said Garrett.
