Their innovative technology enables clients to optimize user experience in complex environments, promoting efficient operations across various industries. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in San Francisco, US, LocusLabs specializes in spatial intelligence solutions.

The company was acquired by Acuity Brands in November 2019, integrating LocusLabs' indoor navigation solutions into Atrius services. The founder, Sam Ziegler, has a history of entrepreneurship, contributing to the company's innovative edge. LocusLabs has secured a total funding of USD 5. 03 mn through a Series A round with investors including Acorn Pacific Ventures and SITA.

Atrius, the rebranded entity of LocusLabs, specializes in advanced spatial intelligence and building performance solutions. Its core offerings include Atrius Wayfinder, an intuitive 3D mapping tool designed to enhance navigation within complex indoor environments, alongside Atrius Locator, which provides real-time asset tracking capabilities. The company also offers Atrius Energy for centralizing energy data, Atrius Sustainability for automated carbon accounting and reporting, and Atrius Facilities for scalable cloud-based building management. These products primarily target industries such as aviation, retail, and corporate facilities, serving clients that include airports, conference centers, and large corporate offices, with applications spanning the United States, Europe, and other international markets.

The technology is designed to improve user experience, streamline operations, and provide actionable data to enhance decision-making processes for facility managers and end-users. Acuity Brands, the parent company of Atrius, employs a transaction structure that encompasses B2B partnerships and direct sales to enterprise clients in various sectors. Revenue generation is primarily derived from subscription-based models for their software solutions, alongside licensing agreements for their proprietary technologies. Clients engage with Atrius products through tailored contracts that often include maintenance and support services, ensuring continuous operation and updates.

Notable offerings such as Atrius Wayfinder and Atrius Sustainability are key components of their revenue stream, as they provide specialized solutions that address specific operational challenges within client organizations. Following the acquisition in November 2019, Acuity Brands aims to leverage LocusLabs' indoor navigation solutions to enhance its Atrius services. The integration of these capabilities is expected to facilitate expansion into new markets and applications, particularly in sectors requiring advanced spatial intelligence. Specific plans for future product launches and expansions into geographic regions have not been disclosed at this time.

The recent funding will support the further development of Atrius services, capitalizing on the growing demand for innovative building management solutions.
