eZwayZ, inclusive indoornavigation app
Developed by Atsence
Since 2019, Atsence has been developing the inclusive indoor navigation app eZwayZ (easy ways) in collaboration with Bartiméus, the Dutch expertise center for people with visual impairments. The patent has been granted to Atsence, and the app has been extensively tested with a wide range of user groups.
In 2023, the iOS version of eZwayZ was successfully launched, and from Q2 2025 the Android version will also be available. Feedback from users, government bodies, building owners, and employers has been overwhelmingly positive. We are proud to have received the Computable Innovation Award 2022, the Vodafone Ziggo PPP Award, and multiple nominations for other prestigious prizes.

The eZwayZ app was initially developed for iOS, because visually impaired people almost all have iOS smartphones because of the accessible VoiceOver. We are now developing an Android version so that the app can be used more widely.

Privacy is guaranteed: no privacy-sensitive data is exchanged between the phone and the cloud. Persons present during scanning of a building are rendered unrecognisable.

Use of the application for end users is free.
As a company, you pay a one-off start-up fee (for scanning the building and setting up the system). The fee depends on the number of m² of surface area to be scanned. In addition, annual licence fees are charged. Discounts apply for multi-year agreements.
