SmartMaps in Your Store Locator
Easy and quick integration
A well-designed Store Locator sets your business apart from other retailers. Nowadays, many customers search online before heading out to shop in-store. Impress your customers by clearly presenting local information.
The first step is determining the website visitor’s location and suggesting the nearest store. This is particularly useful for business travellers or people visiting another city. Communicate weekly offers or special promotions at the local store.
Increased Customer Satisfaction
Not every store carries the same product range.
Show your customers what they can find and where they can find it using your store or market locator:
- • Do you sell special items for specific target groups, such as baby food, pet supplies, cosmetics, or stationery in supermarkets?
- • Where can customers find fresh products like a meat and sausage counter or a bakery?
- • Does your fashion store offer not only clothing but also shoes and accessories like hats, scarves, and jewellery?
- • Do you also offer household items like pots, dishes, and home textiles in addition to furniture?
Extended Service Offering
The range of services you offer can help attract customers: accessibility features, free parking, photo booth, ATM, copier or photo printer, battery recycling, customer Wi-Fi, kids’ play area, Click & Collect, in-store parcel locker, and more.
Your Store Locator can do more than just show the nearest address. Inspire your customers with an interactive digital map enriched with useful service details and promotional offers.

"SmartMaps impressed us primarily with its GDPR compliance, which is a high priority for us; an unbeatable price-performance ratio; and the truly outstanding technical documentation."
Philipp Klusmeier, Head of eCommerce reifencom GmbH
"From the very beginning, we had the feeling that YellowMap meets our requirements and that we are in good hands. Not least because the company has been specializing in exactly this area for over 20 years and brought corresponding references. The team conveyed to us: The schedule is ambitious, but we can do it. The cooperation is thoroughly professional, very dedicated, and it also fits on a human level. We get quick answers and clear statements. There are firm commitments on both sides. In short: teamwork as you would wish for it!"
Laura Peters, Team Lead Digital Marketing OTTO-CHEMIE
"For all interactive Sparkasse locators within the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, we have been relying on the service of YellowMap AG since 2022. The migration of over 365 regional Sparkasse websites and our central portal sparkasse.de to the GDPR-compliant map platform SmartMaps was easy, and we benefit from cost savings compared to our previous provider. We and our Sparkassen are enthusiastic about the new map solution, which is hosted on German servers."
"With the help of SmartMaps, we are able to present our member companies and their services clearly on our website. This provides businesses with an effective public platform that complies with data protection regulations, and gives consumers a broad overview of the great diversity of organic agriculture. We are very satisfied with this solution."
Leon Mohr, Project lead Bioland e.V.
"In order to comply with the strict GDPR guidelines, we had to look for an alternative mapping solution to Google Maps. With SmartMaps, we found a user-friendly mapping platform that protects the privacy of our customers. The switch was easy and completed with little effort."
"In general, I absolutely loved your customer friendliness (assistance, quick problem solving, incorporating changes) and always having the feeling of having a contact person."

Click & Collect
Expand your product offering with Click & Collect
Click & Collect connects your online shop with your local stores. Customers place their order online and pick it up at a physical store, parcel shop, or locker station. This model benefits everyone — both consumers and businesses. Your stores require less shelf and storage space, while customers enjoy access to a wider product selection.
Customers choose their preferred touchpoint, purchase model, and pick-up location. There’s a high chance that, when they visit your physical store to pick up their items, they’ll make additional purchases on-site.
