Fluent Outdoors –
The map service to promote sports and tourism
Bring all the sports facilities, routes, attractions and tourist destinations in your area to the same place.
The most comprehensive outdoor
and location service for municipalities.
Fluent Outdoors is an aggregating map and geospatial information service that allows municipalities and cities to bring all location information about sports, camping and tourism as well as up-to-date maintenance information to one place, thus making it easier for both locals and tourists to transact in their area. Fluent Outdoors is already used by more than 80 municipalities in Finland.
A map service that is always up to date
Fluent Outdoors offers municipalities and cities one explicit place to tell about sports, camping and tourism services in the area.
Fluent Outdoors is designed to be user-friendly: it always travels with its user and helps users plan routes, for example. The service also locates the user, so they always see their own location in real time.
What makes Fluent Outdoors superior is the possibility of real-time maintenance information, which not only improves the maintenance of the objects, but also improves user satisfaction. The maintenance information is automatically updated, for example, from the snow groomer or from the maintainer’s mobile application included in the maintenance of the service. Maintaining the maintenance situation does not burden the management, and the information is always up-to-date. In addition, users can easily report through the service if they notice maintenance needs.
Location information, maintenance information and public announcements in the same place
The Fluent Outdoors map service can be used, for example, to display ski tracks, mountain bike trails, beaches and attractions and their maintenance information.
In addition to location information, it is possible to add to the service, for example, object-specific image files, more detailed descriptions or additional information links to help the user.
The service is optimized for both web browsers and mobile devices, and 90 percent of the service’s users are mobile users.
Visitor counters and other data collection devices at your disposal
You can also use automatic data collection devices from us, with which you can measure valuable information about sports, camping and tourism destinations and bring the information to Fluent Outdoors for the end user to see.
We can deliver a number of data collection devices suitable for different purposes to be connected to the service: visitor counters are conveniently suitable for measuring the number of visitors to hiking trails or snowmobile routes, water temperature gauges provide information on the temperatures of swimming waters, and vibration sensors measure, for example, the degree of use of frisbee golf on throwing platforms.
Collected information can also be used when applying for various grants, for example for renovation work on sites.
Work management for sports facilities on a single platform
With Fluent Outdoors, you can manage all tasks related to sports, outdoor recreation, and tourism sites in one place.
You have an up-to-date, map-based overview of all activities —what has been completed and what tasks are still pending. For example, you can see when playground equipment was last inspected or when ice rinks were last maintained.
Work management allows tasks to be scheduled as regular activities, helping you allocate maintenance resources where they are needed most. At the same time, the system provides a comprehensive view of factors such as maintenance backlog and the resources required for upkeep.
Through Fluent Outdoors, actions can also be assigned directly to specific locations based on feedback received from citizens —quickly and without heavy command chains.
All completed activities can, when needed, also be made visible in a public view for outdoor users and visitors.
The service also makes it possible to monitor the impact of tourism by tracking, for example, where visitors are coming from, which destinations they visit, and how they spend money in the area. With these insights, tourism development can be guided through data-driven decision-making.
Fluent Outdoors includes open integrations with external systems, including Business Finland’s DataHub, making it easy to import information from other services directly into Fluent Outdoors.
Fluent Outdoors also serves as an event communication channel, offering a convenient platform for bringing all event-related information together in one place. The map can also be expanded to cover the surrounding areas of the event, allowing organizers to share information about nearby services, promotions, and traffic arrangements.
