LEXIN connects people with places, products, services and experiences, and helps businesses become easier to discover and reach. From a restaurant for a special occasion to the right shop door inside a mall. LEXIN inawaunganisha watu na maeneo, bidhaa, huduma na uzoefu, na inasaidia biashara kugundulika na kufikiwa kwa urahisi. Kuanzia mgahawa wa sherehe maalum hadi mlango sahihi wa duka ndani ya mall.

The LEXIN appProgramu ya LEXIN

From an idea to the door.Kutoka wazo hadi mlangoni.

A directory tells you where a business is. A social app shows you a nice picture. A map gets you to the building. LEXIN connects all of it, in four simple parts.Orodha inakuambia biashara ilipo. Mtandao wa kijamii unakuonyesha picha nzuri. Ramani inakufikisha kwenye jengo. LEXIN inaunganisha yote, katika sehemu nne rahisi.

Screens are design previews with example content. The public app is in development.Skrini ni miundo ya awali yenye maudhui ya mfano. Programu kwa umma inaendelea kujengwa.

More of your city, in one place.Zaidi ya mji wako, mahali pamoja.

People often don't know what's around them. Good businesses often struggle to reach the people who'd love what they offer. LEXIN works on both sides.Mara nyingi watu hawajui kilichopo karibu nao. Biashara nzuri mara nyingi zinashindwa kuwafikia watu wanaoweza kupenda wanachotoa. LEXIN inafanya kazi pande zote mbili.

Guide me · indoor navigationNiongoze · ramani za ndani

Honest about where you are. Clear about where to go.Wazi kuhusu ulipo. Wazi kuhusu unakokwenda.

GPS doesn't work well inside buildings. So LEXIN first confirms where you are, then guides you, without beacons or new hardware in the venue.GPS haifanyi kazi vizuri ndani ya majengo. Kwa hivyo LEXIN kwanza inathibitisha ulipo, kisha inakuongoza, bila beacons wala vifaa vipya ndani ya jengo.

Coming next: a camera arrow on the floor ahead of you, for when the map isn't enough.Inakuja: mshale wa kamera sakafuni mbele yako, pale ramani isipotosha.

1

Tell LEXIN where you areIambie LEXIN ulipo

Scan a LEXIN plate on the wall, or tap the shop you're standing near. Arriving from outside? Confirm the entrance you came in by.Changanua kibao cha LEXIN ukutani, au gusa duka ulilo karibu nalo. Unatoka nje? Thibitisha mlango ulioingilia.

2

Walk toward a landmarkTembea kuelekea alama

“Walk toward Little More.” As you move, LEXIN matches your steps to the mapped corridors and learns which way you're facing.“Tembea kuelekea Little More.” Unapotembea, LEXIN inalinganisha hatua zako na korido zilizochorwa na kujua unaelekea upande gani.

3

Follow turn by turnFuata hatua kwa hatua

Instructions written around real shops: “Pass the ATM on your left, NMB Bank is next.”Maelekezo yanayotumia maduka halisi: “Pita ATM kushoto kwako, NMB Bank inafuata.”

4

Arrive, and checkFika, na thibitisha

A clear arrival at the door. Shop moved? Tap “Not here?” and LEXIN reroutes or tells the venue.Kufika kwa uwazi mlangoni. Duka limehama? Gusa “Si hapa?” na LEXIN itakuelekeza upya au italijulisha jengo.

Our rule: LEXIN never shows a position dot until it knows where you are. No confident guesses.Kanuni yetu: LEXIN haionyeshi nukta ya mahali hadi ijue ulipo. Hakuna kubahatisha.

Prototype testJaribio la mfano

A real indoor route, tested at EACLC.Njia halisi ya ndani, imejaribiwa EACLC.

We mapped one ground-floor corridor at EACLC, Dar es Salaam, by walking it with a phone, then used LEXIN to guide a walk to named shop doors.Tulichora korido moja ya ghorofa ya chini EACLC, Dar es Salaam, kwa kuitembea na simu, kisha tukatumia LEXIN kuongoza matembezi hadi milango ya maduka.

These are results from a limited prototype test, not a venue-wide coverage or performance guarantee. Accuracy and repeatability will be validated as mapping expands.Haya ni matokeo ya jaribio dogo la mfano, si uhakikisho wa kufunika jengo zima wala wa utendaji. Usahihi na uthabiti vitathibitishwa kadri ramani zinavyopanuka.

For venuesKwa maeneo

Large places, easy to find your way around.Maeneo makubwa, rahisi kuzunguka.

We're starting with shopping malls, where the need is clearest. Hotels, hospitals and other large venues follow in the same plan.Tunaanza na mall, ambako uhitaji uko wazi zaidi. Hoteli, hospitali na maeneo mengine makubwa yanafuata katika mpango huo huo.

Our goal is to map and verify every participating tenant across the agreed coverage.Lengo letu ni kuchora na kuthibitisha kila mpangaji anayeshiriki ndani ya eneo lililokubaliwa.

  • Each mapped tenant with a page and a door on the mapKila mpangaji aliyechorwa ana ukurasa na mlango kwenye ramani
  • Search by shop, service or unit codeTafuta kwa duka, huduma au namba ya chumba
  • Reports from visitors when a shop moves, passed on to youTaarifa za wageni duka linapohama, zinawasilishwa kwako
  • Planned: a venue dashboard for tenants, doors and opening hoursImepangwa: dashibodi ya jengo kwa wapangaji, milango na saa za kufungua

How we map a venueJinsi tunavyochora eneo

01

Walk a sample routeTembea njia ya mfano

Before you decide anything, try real directions on your own floor.Kabla ya kuamua chochote, jaribu maelekezo halisi kwenye sakafu yako.

02

Floor plan to mapRamani ya sakafu hadi ramani

With your approval, we build corridors, units, doors and entrances from your plan.Kwa idhini yako, tunajenga korido, vyumba, milango na viingilio kutoka ramani yako.

03

Walk, check, place platesTembea, kagua, weka vibao

We walk every main corridor and place small LEXIN plates at entrances and junctions, with your permission.Tunatembea kila korido kuu na kuweka vibao vidogo vya LEXIN viingilioni na kwenye makutano, kwa ruhusa yako.

04

Test, then go liveJaribu, kisha weka hewani

Each route is tested on site before it goes live. Tenants claim their shop page.Kila njia inajaribiwa eneo husika kabla ya kuwekwa hewani. Wapangaji wanachukua ukurasa wa duka lao.

How we store and use your floor plan is set out in a written agreement with each venue before we receive it.Jinsi tunavyohifadhi na kutumia ramani yako ya sakafu inaelezwa katika makubaliano ya maandishi na kila eneo kabla ya kuipokea.

Founding Venue PartnersWashirika Waanzilishi wa Maeneo

We onboard a limited number of venues at a time, malls first, so each one gets proper attention. Founding partners receive a first mapping pilot at no cost, with the coverage agreed in writing before we start, preferential founding pricing, and a direct say in how the product grows.Tunapokea idadi ndogo ya maeneo kwa wakati mmoja, mall kwanza, ili kila moja lipate umakini unaostahili. Washirika waanzilishi wanapata majaribio ya kwanza ya kuchora ramani bila gharama, wigo ukikubaliwa kwa maandishi kabla ya kuanza, bei maalum ya waanzilishi, na sauti ya moja kwa moja katika ukuaji wa bidhaa.

The first 50: Founding Partner businessesWa kwanza 50: Washirika Waanzilishi

We're starting with the shops inside the malls we map. The first 50 businesses get room for 50 catalogue items instead of 20, and a direct line to the team. Listing is free.Tunaanza na maduka yaliyo ndani ya mall tunazochora. Biashara 50 za kwanza zinapata nafasi ya bidhaa 50 badala ya 20 kwenye orodha, na mawasiliano ya moja kwa moja na timu. Kuorodheshwa ni bure.

Ranking is never for saleMpangilio hauuzwi kamwe

The only thing LEXIN sells is a clearly labelled “Sponsored” placement. LEXIN Picks and normal results stay earned.Kitu pekee LEXIN inachouza ni nafasi iliyoandikwa wazi “Imedhaminiwa”. LEXIN Picks na matokeo ya kawaida hupatikana kwa sifa.
