SeatAdvisor maintains a distinct competitive advantage over any competitor with its proprietary, patent-pending technology called MapCrawler. MapCrawler is used in-house to create interactive SeatMaps (ISMs), which in turn allows the SeatMap to be used with SeatAdvisor Box Office (SABO) ticketing system. This technology quickly creates thousands of elegant, inexpensive, interactive SeatMaps, each containing hundreds or thousands of mouse sensitive seats individually linked to a database record. These ISMs run in a web browser and are the interface to SABO. Once an ISM is created, the venue is able to use SABO immediately. Venue mapping takes only a few hours.

In addition, MapCrawler automatically generates seat location, graphics, and with a selection of the mouse, allows the user to see seat views of the stage from any seat as well as availability in real time. SeatAdvisor technology enables the ticket buyer or seller to reserve and buy or sell tickets directly by using the SeatMaps. No other company offers this capability.
