PALO ALTO, Calif. — Shoppers can now navigate the aisles to find what they want at Walgreens drug stores with the help of a smartphone application from aisle411, a mobile retail navigation service.

The Palo Alto, Calif.-based technology provider said Tuesday that its in-store mapping platform enables consumers to use iOS (Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch) and Android mobile devices to view maps of any of Walgreens’ 7,907 stores and locate products down to a particular section of each aisle.

According to aisle 411, Walgreens is the first national retailer with all of its stores mapped in a mobile app.

"With aisle411, Walgreens further delivers on its goal of providing the most convenient shopping experience by simplifying store visits and saving customers’ valuable time."

With aisle411’s in-store mapping platform, customers can use their smartphones to view maps of any Walgreens store, allowing shoppers to locate products down to a particular section of each aisle. Walgreens is the first national retailer with all of its stores mapped in a mobile application.

Anyone with a compatible smartphone can use the aisle411 app to find products and promotions quickly at Walgreens stores using its in-store search and mobile retail shopping tools.
