Why talk about indirect distribution on certain GPS?
At Partoo, we call it indirect distribution when some sites or GPS use our direct distribution sites as reference databases. This is the case for the following GPS that provide data to other platforms:
Here which supplies data to Coyote, Garmin, and the built-in GPS of 90% of vehicles in France (Ford, Honda, Toyota, Volvo, BMW, Audi...)
Google My Business whose data is used, among others, by CityMapper
TomTom which resells its data to ViaMichelin
Foursquare whose data is integrated into the Uber GPS!
The example of CityMapper:
When you are listed on Google My Business, your information is automatically updated on CityMapper. Below, you can see that by typing "Burger King" in the search bar, CityMapper displays all Burger Kings in Paris. By clicking on a specific Burger King, CityMapper users access all the restaurant's information: hours, phone number, website, etc.
Distributing your business information on Partoo's direct distribution sites will allow you to have up-to-date info on indirect distribution sites like many GPS and geolocation apps: Uber, ViaMichelin, Garmin...
However, this update cannot be guaranteed as it depends on proper integration between our direct distribution sites and the indirect distribution sites.
