What Drives Us

How We Got Here

2017

Challenge

Cities and municipalities are facing an enormous shortage of skilled workers. At the same time, the obligation to ensure road safety is in the hands of the municipalities. In discussions with building authorities and building yards, we realize how laborious and manual this process is in many places. In practice, there is often no time for road safety. The idea for an intelligent management system is born.

2018

Solution

To decrease the high cost and time of a road condition assessment, the vialytics team develops an artificial intelligence that objectively, quickly and accurately analyzes the asphalt surface. In the vialytics web system, the collected data is used for efficient measurement planning.

2020

Pioneers and investors

The number of cities and municipalities is growing rapidly having confidence in the new concept. In addition to EnBW New Ventures, Statkraft Ventures is another reliable partner for the further growth of our still young company.

Markers, planning and bike lanes

In collaboration with our partner municipalities, we are constantly developing the system further. In addition to road damages, the AI also detects objects in the road space, track control can be done with markers on our smartphone, and the web system is getting a sophisticated planning element. The new detection of bike lane damages is in high demand.

2021

Growth and internationalization

2021 was the big breakthrough. First, we jumped to over 100 partner communities, and added our first office in Paris. Other international cities are quickly added, and vialytics is now available in six countries.

US Entry and Series A Investment

With the Series A of $10 million, we are laying the foundation for further scaling. Scania Growth Capital leads the investment round with existing investors EnBW New Ventures and Statkraft Ventures. At the same time, we enter the US market and our international team grows to 100 employees.

2030

Our moonshot

We think big! Today, more than 500 partner municipalities use our system. By 2030, 400.000 kilometers of roads will be managed with vialytics. Appropriately, this corresponds to the distance from the earth to the moon.
