Getting someone to an address should be simple.

Yet almost everyone has experienced the same conversation:

“I’m here, but which entrance do I use?”

“Where should I park?”

“Google Maps brought me to the other side of the building.”

“Which floor are you on?”

“Can you send the bank details again?”

“What is your GST/VAT/company registration number?”

The information exists. The problem is that it is usually scattered across Google Maps, emails, WhatsApp messages, screenshots, PDFs, invoices, reception instructions and somebody’s memory.

Proezi.com is built around a simple idea: publish information once, keep it current, and share one link whenever somebody needs it.

Today, Proezi provides three primary types of public information pages:

• Arrive — help somebody reach the correct parking area, gate, entrance, floor or room.
• Pay — publish the correct payment details in one controlled location.
• Verify — share business registration and tax-identification information in a structured format.

The person receiving the link does not need to install an app or create an account.

At first glance this sounds simple.

That is precisely the point.

The Problem Starts Where Google Maps Stops

Google Maps, Apple Maps and Waze are extremely good at getting somebody close to a destination.

But close is not always the same as arrived.

A map can guide you to:

42 Example Street

It usually cannot reliably explain:

Enter through the second driveway, park in visitor bays 12–14, avoid the loading entrance, use the glass side door after 6 PM, take the elevator to the third floor and check in at reception.

That final part of a journey—the last tens or hundreds of meters—is often surprisingly complicated.

Hospitals have multiple entrances.

Factories have visitor gates and loading gates.

Apartment complexes have several towers.

Large offices have underground parking.

Universities have dozens of buildings.

Hotels may have a different entrance for parking.

Warehouses may use one address but several gates.

Event venues may temporarily change entrances.

Even an ordinary office can become confusing when the street address points to the wrong side of the building.

This is the first problem Proezi tries to solve.

Instead of replacing mapping applications, Proezi complements them.

A place owner can define the actual arrival point, create different routes for different types of visitors, explain the final steps, add photographs and then hand the journey back to Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze when appropriate.

In other words:

Maps get you to the property. Proezi helps get you to the right door.

How Proezi Arrival Works

Creating an arrival guide follows a straightforward model.

1. Pin the Real Arrival Point

A street address may technically be correct while still being operationally useless.

Proezi allows the owner to place the pin at the actual location a visitor should reach—for example:

• Visitor parking
• Security gate
• Building entrance
• Loading entrance
• Reception
• Event entrance
• Accessible entrance

The location can be entered through address search, the owner’s current position or coordinates and then fine-tuned.

That distinction becomes valuable for large or complicated properties where one postal address represents many possible arrival points.

2. Explain the Last 100 Meters

The owner then creates short, sequential arrival instructions.

Instead of sending a long paragraph such as:

“Come through the rear entrance, but don’t take the first driveway because that belongs to the warehouse next door…”

the instructions can become individual steps.

For example:

Step 1: Turn into the second driveway.

Step 2: Park in bays 12–14.

Step 3: Enter through the glass side door.

Step 4: Take the lift to Floor 3.

Step 5: Check in at reception.

This is easier to follow while somebody is actually travelling.

Proezi also provides reusable step templates for common instructions involving parking, entrances, gates, elevators, reception, landmarks and accessibility.

Different Visitors Can Receive Different Routes

One detail makes the concept considerably more useful.

Not everybody reaches a location in the same way.

Someone driving may need parking instructions.

Someone taking a train needs directions from the station.

A taxi passenger may need a drop-off point.

A wheelchair user may need a completely different entrance.

A delivery driver might need the loading gate rather than reception.

Proezi allows a place to contain several arrival routes, with the visitor selecting the route relevant to them.

For example:

Arriving by Car

Parking → Gate → Entrance → Reception

Arriving by Train

Station Exit → Crossing → Building → Reception

Taxi / Ride Share

Drop-off Point → Entrance

Step-Free Access

Accessible Parking → Ramp → Automatic Door → Elevator

One location can therefore have a single shared page without forcing every visitor to read instructions that do not apply to them.

Show the Entrance Instead of Describing It

Directions become dramatically easier when somebody can actually see what they are looking for.

Proezi therefore allows place owners to upload photographs and annotate them.

An owner can place:

• Arrows
• Boxes
• Circles
• Labels

directly over an entrance, parking bay, gate or landmark.

Sensitive information such as faces or vehicle registration plates can also be blurred.

This addresses a familiar problem.

“Use the side entrance” may still leave a visitor wondering which of four doors is the side entrance.

A photo with an arrow pointing to the exact door removes the ambiguity.

Proezi also says uploaded images are decoded and re-encoded, stored under randomized names, and stripped of EXIF and GPS metadata. Images require descriptive text so that the information remains useful for visitors using screen readers.

Share the Directions With One Link or QR Code

Once the place is ready, the owner publishes it.

The same stable link can then be:

• Sent by email
• Sent through WhatsApp or another messenger
• Added to an appointment confirmation
• Added to a calendar invitation
• Placed on a company website
• Included in a booking confirmation
• Converted into a QR code
• Printed as an arrival sign

Proezi also provides an embeddable card that organizations can place directly on their own website.

This creates an important operational advantage:

the link remains the same even when the instructions change.

Imagine a company printing 500 QR-code signs.

Three months later, visitor parking changes.

With static printed instructions, those signs are obsolete.

With Proezi, the organization can update the published instructions while the existing QR code continues to point to the current page.

The organization changes the information—not every place where the information was previously shared.

Directions Can Change Without Breaking the Link

Real-world places are not static.

A lift stops working.

A gate closes.

Parking moves.

Construction blocks an entrance.

Reception changes floors.

An event uses a temporary entrance.

Proezi includes arrival notices for situations like these.

A place owner can publish information such as:

Critical: Main entrance temporarily closed.

Warning: Visitor parking moved to the rear car park.

Information: Reception closes between 12:30 and 13:30.

When the condition ends, the notice can be removed without replacing the arrival link or printed QR codes.

Versioning Helps Prevent Half-Finished Directions

Editing live operational information introduces another problem.

What happens while somebody is halfway through updating it?

Proezi separates drafts from published information.

The currently published version remains available to visitors while changes are being prepared. Publishing creates a frozen version, and previous versions can be rolled back if necessary.

That is a surprisingly important feature for something as simple as directions.

A visitor should never receive half of the old instructions and half of tomorrow’s instructions.

Old Directions Can Be More Dangerous Than Missing Directions

Directions slowly become outdated.

Nobody necessarily notices.

The security desk moved six months ago.

The gate code changed.

Parking spaces were reassigned.

The entrance was renovated.

Yet an old PDF or WhatsApp message continues circulating.

Proezi addresses this through freshness tracking.

Published information shows when it was updated and verified, while workspace owners can be reminded when directions have not been reconfirmed for a period of time. The current product demonstrates a 180-day review threshold for surfacing stale directions.

This introduces an important concept:

Information should not merely be published. It should have an owner and a freshness lifecycle.

That idea extends well beyond directions.

Visitors Can Say Whether the Directions Actually Worked

Most organizations have no idea whether their arrival instructions are effective.

People either arrive successfully—or eventually call reception.

Proezi adds a small feedback loop.

Visitors can indicate whether the instructions got them to the right place. If not, they can identify where the problem occurred, such as:

• Parking
• Entrance
• Route
• Reception
• A specific instruction step

The feedback is designed to be anonymous and aggregated rather than building profiles of visitors.

This turns directions from static content into something organizations can improve.

If dozens of visitors struggle with Step 3, the owner knows exactly where to investigate.

“I’m Here” Without Another Phone Call

Visitors can also indicate that they have arrived.

When configured, Proezi can notify the destination team while recording the arrival in aggregate analytics. The platform says the notification identifies the place, route and time rather than requiring the visitor to identify themselves.

That can be useful for:

• Offices without permanent reception
• Private appointments
• Studios
• Warehouses
• Property viewings
• Training centers
• Clinics
• Events
• Remote facilities

It removes another small but common communication loop:

“Hi, I’ve reached downstairs.”

Useful Even Where the Mobile Signal Disappears

The exact locations where detailed directions become most important are often places where mobile connectivity becomes worst.

Underground parking.

Basements.

Elevators.

Industrial buildings.

Large concrete structures.

Proezi’s arrival page can be cached after it has been opened successfully. If connectivity disappears later, the previously loaded directions can still be displayed with an indication that the visitor is viewing the stored copy.

That is a small technical feature aligned closely with the actual problem the product is trying to solve.

Events Are Places Too

Not every destination is permanent.

A conference, wedding, meetup, exhibition, product launch or training session may exist at a location for only a few hours.

Proezi includes an Event Mode that associates an arrival page with an event window.

Visitors can see whether the event is upcoming, currently taking place or has ended, and can add it to their calendar.

The same arrival model can therefore be used for both permanent locations and temporary events.

Multi-Language Directions

Directions are especially challenging when the visitor and host do not share the same language.

Proezi supports translated versions of place names, addresses, routes and individual steps. It can use the visitor’s browser language while also providing a language selector. Missing translations fall back to the primary language rather than leaving sections blank.

This could be particularly useful for:

• Hotels
• International offices
• Conferences
• Tourist facilities
• Universities
• Factories with international visitors
• Global companies
• Clinics
• Shared workspaces

One Workspace Can Manage Many Locations

Proezi is not limited to a single destination.

Places exist inside workspaces, and teams can manage them using roles including:

Owner

Controls the workspace and can transfer ownership.

Admin

Manages workspace settings and members.

Editor

Creates and updates places and associated content.

Viewer

Can see places and analytics without modifying them.

Access is enforced by role, and workspace members currently authenticate using Google rather than maintaining another Proezi password.

Organizations operating several similar locations can also duplicate a place and adjust its details instead of recreating every route and instruction manually.

That makes the model applicable to:

• Retail chains
• Coworking locations
• Warehouses
• Schools
• Clinics
• Hotels
• Office networks
• Event operators
• Property managers
• Training centers

Proezi Goes Beyond Directions

The more interesting part of the current Proezi platform is that arrival instructions are only one of three information-sharing surfaces.

The same idea—publish once and share the current source—is also applied to money and business identity.

Proezi Pay: Stop Sending Bank Details as Screenshots

Consider how businesses frequently exchange payment information.

Someone asks:

“Can you send your bank details?”

A colleague searches through an old email.

Someone forwards a screenshot.

Another person copies the account number into WhatsApp.

A customer saves that screenshot and uses it six months later.

This is convenient—but creates obvious opportunities for outdated or mistyped information.

Proezi’s /pay/ pages provide a structured place where an organization can publish the payment methods it wants to share.

The current platform demonstrates support for payment information including:

• SEPA / IBAN
• U.S. ACH
• Indian bank accounts and IFSC
• UPI
• PayPal
• UK Faster Payments
• SWIFT
• Canadian EFT
• Brazilian PIX
• Mexican CLABE/SPEI
• Australian BSB
• PayID
• Chinese CNAPS
• Japanese Zengin details

Proezi performs format or public check-digit validation where applicable, but does not process or hold the payment itself.

That distinction is important.

Proezi Pay is not another payment processor.

It is a controlled way to publish how somebody should pay you.

Proezi Business Identity: Stop Re-Sending Registration Numbers

Businesses repeatedly exchange another class of information:

• Company registration numbers
• Tax IDs
• VAT numbers
• GST information
• Legal entity identifiers

These details appear on invoices, vendor-onboarding forms, procurement questionnaires, emails and messages.

Proezi’s /biz/ pages provide a structured business-identity page for sharing this information.

The current platform demonstrates formats for business identifiers across 13 country/register kits, including identifiers from India, the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, China, Australia, Canada, Japan, Brazil, Singapore, Mexico and the UAE, as well as LEI information.

There is an important limitation.

When Proezi says an identifier is checked, it means the platform validates the applicable public format or check digit.

It does not mean Proezi has contacted the official registry and confirmed that the business currently exists or that the registration is active.

That transparency matters.

A Common Design Philosophy Across All Three

Once the three parts are viewed together, Proezi’s broader idea becomes clearer.

Businesses repeatedly answer three practical questions:

Where are you?

Use /p/

How do I pay you?

Use /pay/

Who exactly am I doing business with?

Use /biz/

Instead of repeatedly copying those answers into new emails and messages, Proezi turns each into a maintained source that can be shared through a link.

The workflow becomes:

Create → Review → Publish → Share → Update the source rather than resend the information.

Privacy Without Forcing Every Visitor to Register

Another sensible part of the design is that a visitor opening an arrival page does not need a Proezi account.

According to Proezi’s current privacy policy, visitor interactions such as page loads, route selections, map opens and arrival taps are measured using anonymous aggregate events rather than persistent visitor profiles. Proezi says it does not place advertising trackers or third-party analytics scripts on arrival pages and does not sell user data.

Workspace members are different because they need to edit and manage information. They authenticate through Google, with Proezi receiving identity information required for the workspace rather than asking for access to contacts, calendars or Google Drive.

Accessibility Is Part of the Arrival Problem

Accessibility is particularly relevant to this product because a direction page that cannot be used by somebody with a disability has failed at its primary job.

Proezi states that its accessibility release checks target WCAG 2.2 AA, including automated scanning, keyboard-only flows, small-screen reflow and 200% zoom testing. Uploaded arrival images also require descriptive text for screen-reader users.

The product additionally supports dedicated step-free arrival routes.

So accessibility is not simply a website-compliance issue here.

It affects whether somebody can physically reach the destination.

Who Could Use Proezi?

The underlying problem occurs almost anywhere people physically visit.

Offices

Share parking, entrance, elevator and reception information with candidates, customers and partners.

Clinics and Hospitals

Explain the correct building, entrance, department and accessible route.

Hotels and Vacation Properties

Show parking, after-hours access, check-in entrances and room-finding instructions.

Warehouses and Factories

Separate visitors, employees, delivery drivers and loading traffic.

Universities and Training Centers

Guide students from campus entrances to the correct building and room.

Events and Conferences

Combine temporary arrival instructions with dates, calendars, QR signage and entrance changes.

Property Managers

Provide building, parking, gate and access instructions.

Restaurants and Venues

Explain difficult parking arrangements or entrances that are not obvious from the street.

Multi-Site Businesses

Maintain standardized arrival experiences across many locations.

And the /pay/ and /biz/ components broaden the potential use case to almost any organization that frequently sends payment or business-registration information.

What Proezi Does Not Replace

It is equally important to understand what the platform is not.

Proezi does not replace Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze.

It complements them.

It does not guarantee that user-created directions are correct. The organization publishing a place remains responsible for keeping its information accurate.

Proezi Pay is not a bank or payment processor and does not move the money.

And Proezi Business Identity’s format validation should not be confused with verification against an official government registry.

These boundaries make the product easier to understand.

The Bigger Idea: Create a Source Instead of Sending Another Copy

The most interesting idea behind Proezi may not be directions, QR codes or payment details individually.

It is the difference between a copy and a source.

When you send somebody a screenshot of your bank details, you have created another copy.

When you send parking instructions in an email, you have created another copy.

When you attach a PDF containing company information, you have created another copy.

The moment the underlying information changes, every old copy can become wrong.

A maintained link works differently.

You update the source.

Everybody opening that link afterward receives the current published information.

That model is already familiar in software development, where teams prefer a single source of truth over uncontrolled copies.

Proezi applies the same thinking to ordinary operational information.

A Surprisingly Simple Product for a Surprisingly Common Problem

Proezi is solving a category of problem that often feels too small to deserve software.

Until you count how often it happens.

A visitor calls reception.

A candidate goes to the wrong entrance.

A driver enters the loading yard.

A customer asks for the bank details again.

A supplier needs the VAT number.

Someone forwards a screenshot from six months ago.

Another person sends a corrected screenshot.

Nobody knows which version is current.

Individually these are tiny interruptions.

Across hundreds or thousands of interactions, they become operational friction.

Proezi’s answer is deliberately straightforward:

Publish the information once. Give it an owner. Keep it current. Share the link instead of explaining it again.

For arrival information, that means helping people continue beyond the map pin until they reach the actual destination.

For payments, it means providing a maintained source for the details needed to pay you.

For business identity, it means providing structured registration information from one place.

No special application for the recipient.

No account before they can read the information.

Just a link to the information they needed in the first place.

And sometimes, removing one unnecessary conversation is exactly what good software should do.
