About i-Move

Founded in 2007, i-Move built its expertise through research projects in multimodal navigation, the development of comprehensive and compact private label navigation products and building ASP mapping platforms for Tracking & Tracing and Fleet Management.

Map data and location-enabled products & services have become increasingly available, and this has tremendously increased the awareness of businesses with regards to its potential to contribute to improved efficiency and lower cost, to environmental awareness and regulation compliance. As a result, demands of these businesses are mainly related to business-critical processes and applications and very specific with respect to quality, service level and flexibility.

i-Move addresses this demand by building and marketing powerful generic mapping, routing and navigation software development toolkits for professional fleet management and navigation. These components easily integrate with existing applications and interfaces such as an onboard unit in a commercial vehicle, with a fleet management environment or with processes in the logistics workflow, thus adding the power of location and mobility to our clients’ products, services and solutions. They also allow building standalone products.

The AnyMap products are available through a global network of business partners. Today we are actively developing this network by recruiting partners with whom we want to collaborate to identify, develop and mature professional location markets at large.
