Indoor mapping, RFID tracking and RTLS software for India

The single Goods and Services Tax, introduced in 2017, removed much of the reason to keep a small depot in every state, and many companies have since consolidated into fewer, larger distribution hubs. E-commerce, quick commerce and organised retail have added demand, and modern warehouse parks with high roofs and racking now ring Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad and Kolkata. Many are run by 3PLs for several clients under one roof.

Spatial Map draws those sheds as they are: racks with their bin locations, pick zones, packing lines, dock doors and the truck yard. Stock by bin comes from your WMS, cartons and pallets from RFID reads at the doors, forklifts from your RTLS. Each 3PL client can get a read-only share link to its own zone, and reports export to PDF, Excel, CSV and JSON for the monthly review.

Organised retail has spread from the metros into tier-2 cities, and a typical mall now stacks a hypermarket, fashion anchors, a food court, a multiplex and several parking levels around escalator cores. Apparel retail is where item-level RFID tends to start, often with tags applied by the supplier.

The Retail Mart demo shows what that looks like on a map: three floors joined by escalators and lifts, 85 RFID readers at the entrances and escalator landings, shelf and department stock, and fridge temperatures. Mall management can keep service corridors, loading bays and vacant units on internal layers while visitors get a public link with shops, toilets and lifts.

Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport is the country’s busiest, Mumbai and Bengaluru are not far behind, and new capacity keeps opening: Bengaluru’s Terminal 2 in 2022, Navi Mumbai International Airport for commercial flights in December 2025 and Noida International Airport at Jewar in June 2026. New terminals need maps for operations staff, ground handlers and contractors long before the signage settles.

The Silverbay demo maps a two-floor terminal with check-in islands, security lanes, immigration, gates, carousels and retail, each coloured by live throughput or crowding, and bag tags read from bag drop to the carousel. Routes run across floors through stairs, lifts and escalators, with a step-free option.

Production-linked incentive schemes have drawn electronics and mobile-phone assembly into India alongside its long-established automotive clusters, and the country is one of the world’s largest producers of generic medicines. Each of those plants has high-value stores, line-side bins, cold rooms or quarantine areas that someone needs to find fast.

In the Northgate demo, 863 tagged units move reader by reader through an electronics secure store; in Polar Pharma, cold rooms are coloured by live temperature and held pallets are marked in place. Spatial Map makes no GMP or Schedule M claim — your quality system stays the record.

India uses 865–867 MHz for UHF RFID, a band the Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) wing of the Department of Telecommunications exempts from licensing within set power limits; later rules extend short-range devices to 865–868 MHz. Readers must be configured for the Indian band and normally carry WPC equipment type approval; most global UHF tags are designed to read across the world’s bands. RFID tracking in India goes into the details.

For real-time location, Spatial Map is the map, not the radio. BLE, UWB or Wi-Fi systems compute positions; Spatial Map shows the zone or x/y they write to a table, with history playback. See RTLS software and indoor mapping in India for positioning and navigation in public buildings.

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 is India’s data-protection law, and its Rules, notified in November 2025, bring the obligations in over a phased period of about 18 months. Tags on pallets, cartons and tools identify no one; reads tied to an employee badge or a visitor’s phone may be personal data. Your legal advisers decide what the Act requires of you. Spatial Map does not claim DPDP compliance on your behalf; the DPA and security page describe how it handles your data.

The interface is in English (plus Arabic, Chinese, French, German and Spanish), not Hindi or any other Indian language. Spatial Map is sold online in US dollars, with no Indian office, partner or rupee price list. Our team works with Indian customers remotely through the contact form.
