Inpixon alternative

Need real-time location without UWB infrastructure costs? Crowd Connected delivers BLE tag tracking for people and assets with self-calibrating accuracy, battery-powered sensors, and no PoE cabling. The same infrastructure also powers occupancy sensing and wayfinding.

Location data from a wide area made accessible
Inpixon is a German/US company providing the INTRANAV platform, a comprehensive RTLS solution for industrial environments. Built on UWB, BLE, and chirp technologies, it delivers centimetre-level accuracy for asset tracking in smart factories, warehouses, mining operations, and digital supply chains. The platform includes an asset manager, device manager, rules and alerts, analytics, maps, and geofences, with native integration into SAP systems. Inpixon also offers a separate RTLS Mesh product using Wirepas for 3-5m accuracy at lower cost.
Inpixon strengths

What Inpixon does well

Inpixon’s centimetre-level UWB accuracy is purpose-built for industrial RTLS. Their asset tracking covers equipment, vehicles, and personnel with dedicated tags, proven across manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain environments. Deep SAP integration into EWM, ME, S/4HANA, and SCM makes it the standard choice for enterprises already invested in SAP infrastructure.

The trade-off: UWB anchors require Power over Ethernet cabling at regular intervals, a significant infrastructure investment. The system is optimised for heavy industrial tracking where centimetre precision justifies the cabling cost. For non-industrial environments like campuses, hospitals, venues, and events, UWB infrastructure is over-engineered and expensive. Pricing is quote-based with no published rates.

Why Crowd Connected is the lighter-weight RTLS

Crowd Connected offers BLE tag tracking for assets and people using battery-powered sensors in a self-calibrating mesh network. Tags are tracked in real time at 2-5m accuracy with no PoE cabling, no UWB anchors, and one gateway per building. Deploy in days, not months.

If you need centimetre accuracy for industrial assembly lines or warehouse automation, Inpixon is purpose-built for that. For tracking people, equipment, and assets across campuses, hospitals, venues, and events at 2-5m accuracy, Crowd Connected delivers at a fraction of the infrastructure cost. And the same sensor network simultaneously powers occupancy sensing and indoor wayfinding, giving you three capabilities from one deployment.

Why choose Crowd Connected?

BLE tag tracking without UWB costs

Track assets and people with BLE tags on a battery-powered sensor network. No PoE cabling, no UWB anchors, no wired infrastructure. Deploy across buildings in days.

Self-calibrating mesh network

Self-calibrating machine learning continuously adapts as your environment changes. One gateway per building connects the mesh to the cloud. No fingerprinting, no manual recalibration.

One infrastructure, three capabilities

Tag tracking, occupancy sensing, and indoor wayfinding all run on the same battery-powered sensor network. No separate systems for counting people, tracking assets, and navigating visitors.

Transparent pricing

Published pricing on our website. No quote-based gatekeeping, no enterprise licensing surprise. Budget with confidence before you deploy.

Frequently asked questions

How does Crowd Connected's tag tracking compare to Inpixon's UWB RTLS?
Crowd Connected tracks BLE tags at 2-5m accuracy using battery-powered sensors. Inpixon’s UWB achieves centimetre accuracy with PoE-cabled anchors. Choose based on your accuracy requirements: centimetre precision for industrial automation, or 2-5m for campus, venue, and healthcare tracking at substantially lower infrastructure cost.
Can Crowd Connected track assets like Inpixon?
Yes. We track assets using BLE tags on the same sensor network that powers occupancy sensing and wayfinding. Tags can be attached to equipment, wheelchairs, trolleys, AV kits, or worn by personnel. For non-industrial environments, BLE tracking delivers the visibility you need without UWB infrastructure.
What about SAP integration?
We provide REST APIs and webhooks for integration with enterprise systems including ERP and facilities management platforms. Whilst we do not have native SAP connectors like Inpixon, our API-first architecture connects to any system with standard integration tools.
How much infrastructure does each solution require?
Inpixon’s UWB needs PoE-cabled anchors at regular intervals, a significant infrastructure investment. Crowd Connected needs battery-powered BLE sensors, roughly one per 100 square metres, with no cabling required and one gateway per building.
Is Crowd Connected suitable for industrial manufacturing?
For assembly line automation or warehouse pick-and-pack requiring centimetre accuracy, Inpixon is purpose-built. For tracking people and assets across campuses, hospitals, venues, and events at 2-5m accuracy, Crowd Connected is the better fit with substantially lower total cost of ownership.
How does total cost of ownership compare?
Significantly lower with Crowd Connected. No PoE infrastructure, no UWB anchors, battery-powered sensors with multi-year life. Paid plans are transparently priced on our website. We are typically three times cheaper than dedicated Bluetooth gateways and ten times cheaper than Cisco Spaces.
