What are good examples of B2B companies using location based services?
-
Are there any examples? Are location based services (foursquare...) only being used in B2C markets?

Answer:
One type of B2B LBS I stumbled across is the "enterprise assets management" which comes in different flavors. It can be implemented as vehicle or cargo tracking (physical assets), where players like Xora or Actsoft exist. There are the people-related LBS (like mobile service technicians) where ClickSoftware has a solution. In general I believe there is a lot more to be done in this field. Like many other recent examples, B2C is ahead of B2B in this space.

I've heard of some companies using checkin services to replace their existing Clock-In systems, which could also help co-workers know where their other co-workers have checked in at. I work for Qubulus, and indoor positioning provider, and we provide similar services that take into account users locations within a building. http://loclizard.com/products/iguana/

Use of Location & Messaging in B2B applications is gradually taking off (more in some sectors than others). Use cases include roadside assistance, mobile workforce management, checkin/checkout for mobile timeclocking, asset & vehicle tracking, emergency responders, geotagged enterprise messaging, proximity marketing etc. Examples include Actsoft, Xora, NetworkFleet, ClickSoft, ServiceMax, Placecast, Abaqus (my Company provides an LBS platform for such B2B services at http://www.mygeotracking.com) etc.
