Comment: Sources do not show notability. Most are mere mentions of the company, while one is a press release. Onel5969 (talk) 15:35, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
{{Original drafter: Existing references are in largest number complete press articles on the company in major publications such as Forbes, BRW, The Australian, Techworld and Computerworld not just mentions. Please note that additional sources and references have been added including articles on the company from Businesswire and case studies by KPMG and Google affiliates. The article now meets and exceeds notability standards of comparable articles across Wikipedia - such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoloqi)}}

Bluedot Innovation is a R&D focused technology company head-quartered in Melbourne, Australia, that specialises in high precision location services for smartphones.
Point SDK
Bluedot Innovation developed and operates the Bluedot Point SDK, a software development kit that enables smartphone applications on the Android and iOS platforms to intelligently manage the GPS chip-set and as a result provide battery efficient, precise location awareness to smartphones. By managing the battery drain stemming from constant GPS tracking, the Point SDK enables smartphones to react to and perform actions when entering areas as precise as a few meters wide[1]. The Bluedot Point SDK enables pre-built actions to be triggered when users enter these precise locations, and conditions according to which the actions will occur. The Bluedot Point SDK was used by two of the top five applications created during the Victorian Government Infrahack Hackathon[2]
