What vialytics does

vialytics GmbH is a Stuttgart-based vertical SaaS company that sells AI-powered road management software to municipal governments, public works departments, and county-level infrastructure agencies. Founded around 2018, the company has built a three-component platform: a smartphone app mounted in a vehicle windshield that captures georeferenced images every four meters during routine driving, a proprietary computer-vision algorithm that automatically classifies road damage into 15 categories, detects traffic signs, lane markings, manholes, and water drains, and a cloud-based web system for visualization, work-order management, maintenance planning, and inventory administration. The product is augmented by modular add-ons for winter-service documentation, excavation management, route inspection, extreme-weather crisis management, and an inventory management module that automates up to 80% of traffic-sign inventory work.

vialytics generates revenue through annual SaaS subscriptions priced per road-kilometer and road type (street, agricultural path, bike path), supplemented by hardware rental of configured smartphones and separately billed add-on services. The go-to-market is sales-led enterprise field sales targeting municipal procurement, supported by inside sales for inbound, partner referrals through engineering firms (Colliers, Tensar) and traffic-sign specialists (Bremicker), and a marketing mix spanning SEO, webinars, industry events, and an annual RoadStar Award program that generates PR and customer advocacy. A structured four-week onboarding process is offered, with results visible within the first month.

The company claims to serve over 1,000 municipalities across seven countries including Germany, France, the USA, Czech Republic, and Slovenia, with 200,000+ km of roads and 250 million images analyzed to date. It employs roughly 100 people and is privately held, having raised a $10 million Series A in January 2023 (co-led by Scania Growth Capital and Volkswagen Group, with EnBW New Ventures and Statkraft Ventures) and an additional ~$8.3 million round in December 2024 led by Acton Capital. The company holds the "Software Made in Germany 2026" quality seal from BitMi and is led by managing directors Patrick Glaser, Achim Hoth, and Andreas Kozma Erdmann, with a recently appointed CEO (Danilo Jovicic) and CPTO (Dominik Kenzler).

Core offering

vialytics provides an AI-powered SaaS road management platform that uses smartphone cameras mounted in municipal vehicles to automatically capture and analyze georeferenced road imagery every 4 meters. Its proprietary computer-vision algorithms detect road damage across 15 categories, traffic signs, manhole covers, and lane markings, then feed results into a cloud-based web system where municipalities manage work orders, plan maintenance, track winter service operations, and document excavations.

Product overview

vialytics is an AI-powered intelligent road management software company (SaaS) headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, serving over 1,000 municipalities across seven countries. The product suite consists of a core platform combining three integrated components: (1) the vialytics Smartphone App for field teams to capture georeferenced road images every 4 meters during survey drives, (2) the vialytics AI — a proprietary computer-vision algorithm that analyzes captured images and classifies road damage into 15 damage categories, detects traffic signs and lane markings, and documents manholes and water drains, and (3) the vialytics Web-System — a cloud-based management platform for data visualization, work-order management, planning, and reporting. This core trio is augmented by modular add-on capabilities including: vialytics Inventar (IM) for AI-assisted inventory of traffic signs, manholes, and water drains; Auftragsmanagement Plus for extended work-order management with time tracking and templates; Winterdienst for legally compliant winter service documentation; Aufgrabungsmanagement for excavation documentation; Streckenkontrolle for flexible route inspections; and an Extremwetter module for crisis management during extreme weather events.
