OutletLocator
OutletLocator is Sirius7's Internet based mapping and search facility. Developed in conjunction with leaders in the world of GIS, it can be used to locate the nearest outlet via a postcode or settlement name. OutletLocator is suitable for Banks, Retail Stores, Hotels, Petrols stations/Garages or anything with a geographical location.
Based on Microsoft technology, OutletLocator is a mapping and search facility designed to integrate geographical maps into your website to show your customers (and you!) exactly where you are.
Search by Postcode and Settlement Name
Utilising the Ordnance Survey Grid Reference, OutletLocator allows the user to search for an outlet via a town/city name or by a postcode. The user can also input in a distance to narrow down the search spectrum. The OutletLocator search engine then displays the nearest 10 (or more if the user has inputted a search distance) outlets to the location inputted. You can then view the locations of these outlets on high-quality street maps from Microsoft MapPoint. As well as being able to search for an outlet via a settlement name or postcode, the user can also Drill-Down via a series of maps, starting at UK level. By clicking in areas on the map, the user can zoom in to an outlet and view a street level map.
Cost Effective
OutletLocator is one of the most, if not the most, cost-effective Internet mapping solution because, rather than using Dynamic maps, Sirius7 uses Static maps. Because we use static maps, there are no hidden hit charges, regardless of the amount of traffic from your site.
