Planet Intus has announced the completion of series A round with Business angels from the Swiss investment platform investiere.ch which contributed CHF 323’000 while co-founder and board member David Sikorsky as well as other private investors from Planet Intus’ network contributed the remaining sum.

Planet Intus is the first company worldwide to provide a 3D- integrated solution for indoor geolocation and user behaviour analysis. Once embedded on the users’ mobile phones, the app shows the user their current position and guides them to a location of their choice during their visit at the exhibition. The service can be customised to ones’ preferences such that they are notified about the available innovations, the shows, demonstrations. This service is tailored for clients in different industries including; exhibition, parking, retail and security to understand the movement of customers, and be able to assess their event.

The Geneva-based company has already equipped a number of major European exhibition venues, larger than 100'000 square meters, in France and Switzerland with its technology, including the Palexpo in Geneva. Planet Intus also deployed its security solution for the 2015 COP21 in Paris, the main climate conference organized by the United Nations. More than 280'000 square meters (indoor and outdoor) were equipped so that the security officers at the conference could be tracked at all times.The position flow of over 80 agents were uploaded to a supervision platform and constantly monitored in order to optimise their dispatch and minimize the intervention time in case of necessity.

Following the success of their security solution at the United Nations COP 21 conference, Planet Intus signed an agreement with Eurosatory, the world's largest international land and airland defence and security exhibition.
