Store Locators and Product Finders convert online traffic into store visits.
Integrated online-to-offline solutions with map-based locator apps, real-time inventory, and seamless UX.

This increases customer satisfaction, boosts brand loyalty, and drives traffic to physical stores. Additionally, they reduce service costs, as many inquiries are answered directly through the application
Utilizing the full potential in retail
The pre-purchase inspiration phase is becoming increasingly important for potential buyers. With a store locator and product finder, you optimize the customer experience and significantly increase the likelihood of an online-to-offline conversion.
A locator application makes it easy for your users to find stores, dealers, and even products near them. This bridges the gap between e-commerce and the store, driving your customers from your online shop to your physical locations. Our technology ensures that your application responds instantly and runs stably, even with thousands of locations and simultaneous requests, whether on a smartphone or desktop.
Furthermore, our solutions give you the opportunity to analyze your users' tracking data to better understand their interests: Where are customers located when searching for a store, and which types of products are currently particularly relevant?
Displaying information about stores, services, and product availability can increase online-to-offline conversion by 10 percent.
Customized applications for the retail sector
The Store Finder and Dealer Locator make it easy for users to find your brand's nearest branch or dealer and locate them on a map. With the Product Finder, customers can see which branch has their desired product in stock. This increases trust in your brand and strengthens brand loyalty.
Our developers custom-build these web-based applications for your specific needs, ensuring they integrate seamlessly into your existing system and data landscape. This allows you to maintain data in just one place, while the map updates automatically. As a result, your locator becomes a central component of your company’s digital ecosystem, creating synergies and streamlining processes. For clients like Continental, for example, we ensure that the dealer search functions in over 50 countries and languages while remaining centrally manageable.
Tailored user interface for data maintenance
Whether you need dealer, store, or product information, our user interface consolidates all essential data in one place. The admin backend acts as a single source of truth where all data converges. Through interfaces, data from both internal and external sources is seamlessly integrated and processed. For instance, you can merge internal data about your stores and retailers, such as addresses and opening hours, with Places data from Google Maps. Our system features simple rights management and an activity log to ensure the security of your data.
Map-based front end for the localization of stores, dealers, and products
The frontend of the applications is map-based and individually tailored to your needs. After all, a standard map often does not match a high-quality webshop design. We adapt colors, fonts, and icons to match your corporate identity exactly. As a result, the locator does not appear as a foreign element, but rather as an organic part of your website.
Customer experience is further enhanced through the use of selected APIs and the ability to filter store attributes. With just a few clicks, for example, users can find the route to the nearest store or view user reviews directly within the application.
The Product Finder is also connected to the map solution and locates the stores and dealers where the desired product is in stock. Subsequently, all information regarding the selected store is displayed.

Why choose a custom dealer search over standard plugins?
Standard solutions often reach their limits when you have many locations or require special features. A custom solution from Ubilabs grows with your requirements: It remains fast even during global expansion, can be adapted exactly to your design, and can integrate special filters (e.g., "Click & Collect" or "Accessible") that standard tools do not offer. Through technologies like clustering and lazy loading, we guarantee millisecond load times.
How does a locator application help increase revenue?
By bridging the gap between online and offline. Through features like "Click & Collect," direct route planning, and the display of local inventory, we drastically shorten the customer journey. Our clients, such as Puma, use these tools to close the gap between their webshop and brick-and-mortar retail (O2O). This turns website visitors into in-store customers.
Is managing location data complicated?
No. We ensure that you do not have to maintain duplicate data. Our system pulls information from where it already resides, for example, in your ERP system or the Places data of the map technology (e.g., Google Maps). We often implement a "Single Source of Truth" architecture. This means: We aggregate data from SAP, Salesforce, Excel lists, or third-party APIs, cleanse it (data cleansing), and display it consistently on the map.
