Mapiq vs. Nimway: Choosing the Best Workplace Partner

Mapiq is a SaaS workplace experience platform built to optimize modern offices with data and flexibility. Nimway, backed by Sony, offers hardware-centric solutions like room panels and wayfinding tools. So which one is right for your workplace strategy?

Rethinking Workplace Optimization

Companies today don’t just need tools, they need long-term partners. From integrating with your tech stack to ensuring usability and adoption, Mapiq helps businesses streamline operations while improving both employee experience and space efficiency.

Cross-platform adoption

Getting employees to use new workplace tools across web, mobile, and in-office devices can be difficult. Mapiq offers a consistent, user-friendly experience on all platforms, including app, web, and kiosks to drive adoption with minimal training.

Growth across locations

As organizations expand, managing different offices with varying needs becomes complex. Mapiq’s modular setup supports global scalability while allowing each location to tailor its configuration and policies.

Avoiding vendor lock-in

Many workplace solutions require proprietary hardware or limit integration options. Mapiq is software-first and hardware-agnostic, giving organizations the freedom to build a flexible tech stack on their terms

Beyond Panels and Booking

While Nimway excels at room displays and indoor navigation using Sony’s hardware, Mapiq takes a broader view bringing together access, sensors, booking, and analytics into one ecosystem, with no dependency on proprietary devices.

Nimway lacks the deep analytics and platform flexibility needed for evolving workplace strategies

Designed to Scale With You

Whether you're growing across regions or optimizing an existing HQ, Mapiq's architecture supports local nuance and global rollouts. Nimway, while easy to deploy in smaller environments, can hit limitations when scaling across complex enterprises.

Insights That Start Where Hardware Stops

Nimway provides basic usage logs from room panels and occupancy sensors. Mapiq takes it further with AI-driven workplace analytics, trend forecasting, and integrations with sensors, Wi-Fi, and access systems.

More Than a Vendor: A Workplace Partner

Nimway offers a solid product and onboarding through Sony’s network but has limited flexibility and support for advanced strategy. Mapiq, in contrast, provides a dedicated success team, co-development opportunities, and ongoing workplace strategy alignment.

Want Flexible Admin Tools, Not Just Employee Apps

Want Flexible Admin Tools, Not Just Employee Apps

Nimway focuses on user-facing functionality like displays and navigation. Mapiq provides intuitive tools for both admins and end-users from floor plan management to real-time space data.

Need Deeper Data, Not Just Booking Logs

Nimway tracks room usage through its panels and sensors but doesn’t deliver predictive planning or deep integrations. Mapiq connects across your digital ecosystem to offer real-time insights and forecasting.

Prefer Real-Time Feedback, Not Static Systems

Mapiq integrates with IoT sensors, Wi-Fi, badge data, and more removing reliance on user input. Nimway’s occupancy tracking depends largely on sensor-triggered logs and display-based check-ins.
