What Teralytics does
Teralytics AG is a Zurich-headquartered mobility intelligence company founded in 2012 that transforms anonymized mobile network signaling into origin-destination, mode, and time-of-day mobility matrices for the transportation sector. Its core platform processes data from carrier partners across 14 countries — covering 30 million mobile devices in Germany alone — to deliver always-on, population-level mobility insights at spatial resolutions up to 120,000 zones and hourly temporal granularity. The company monetizes primarily through enterprise subscriptions to Matrix (OD matrices with monthly updates for Germany, Italy, and Denmark), the Flow digital twin of transit systems launched at UITP 2025, the Matrix Trends forecasting add-on, and tailored mobility analytics for tourism and planning use cases.
The product portfolio spans two core offerings and one module: Matrix provides validated zone-to-zone mobility demand with MIV/ÖPNV mode differentiation and MatLab/GTFS integration; Flow layers APC data, ridership, and on-time performance on top of travel demand with an AI co-pilot for scenario planning; Matrix Trends adds ML-based forecasting and anomaly detection. Underlying technology combines big-data pipelines with mode-detection ML calibrated against MiD/SRV reference surveys and integrations with Streetlight Data, Replica, APC systems, and GTFS. Revenue mechanics are quote-based annual subscriptions plus professional services, sold through a direct enterprise field-sales motion and a channel layer of framework partnerships with European transport consultancies (TPS Pro, TRT, VMZ Berlin, WVI Wermuth, nbsw). The company serves transport operators, planners, modelers, urban planners, tourism boards, and automotive OEMs, with named enterprise and government customers including Deutsche Bahn, DSB, BVG, Volkswagen Group, visitBerlin, GIZ, and multiple Italian metropolitan authorities.
Teralytics operates subsidiaries in Germany, the United States, Singapore, and the United Kingdom, and has raised $17.5 million in Series A funding (August 2019, led by Bosch Ventures with Atomico, Deutsche Bahn Digital Ventures, Future Energy Ventures, Lakestar, LBBW VC, and Liil Ventures). In 2022 it acquired Bentley Systems' Streetlytics mobility data business to broaden its North American footprint, and it participates in the German Federal Ministry of Transport-funded MOTUS research initiative. Headcount is reported at 51–100 employees, and the leadership team comprises CEO Dave Reed, Co-Founder and Chairman Georg Polzer, CTO and Co-Founder Luciano Franceschina, CFO Tom Grützmann, President Michael Clarke, Head of Product Nick Cohn, and Head of Pre-Sales and Delivery Jarek Sobanski.

Teralytics competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Streetlight Data: Streetlight Data is a leading mobility intelligence provider that turns location-based data (GPS, mobile, sensors) into origin-destination and traffic analytics for transportation planning — the same buyer, use cases, and data paradigm as Teralytics. Now part of Jacobs, it is the most direct U.S. competitor and is also integrated into Teralytics' own Flow product.
- Replica: Replica (a Sidewalk Labs spinoff) provides synthetic population-based mobility analytics built from anonymized location data, used by public agencies for planning, similar to Teralytics Matrix. It is also integrated into Teralytics' Flow product as a complementary data source, underlining its status as a direct competitor in the same procurement.
- Cuebiq: Cuebiq is a location intelligence company that turns anonymized mobile location data into movement and audience analytics, used by retailers, real estate and public-sector customers. Its mobility analytics offering is directly comparable to Teralytics' OD-matrix approach.
- Airsage: Airsage processes anonymized mobile network signaling data into origin-destination and traffic analytics for planning agencies and commercial customers — the same data paradigm and customer base as Teralytics, making it a like-for-like competitor in telecom-derived mobility intelligence.
Broad incumbents
- INRIX: INRIX is an established provider of traffic, road safety and urban mobility analytics for governments, automotive OEMs and enterprises. It competes with Teralytics for transportation agency budgets while also serving adjacent automotive and smart-city use cases at much larger scale.
- HERE Technologies: HERE is a global location platform offering map data, traffic, and mobility analytics used by transport authorities and automotive OEMs. While broader than Teralytics, HERE's urban mobility products overlap with Teralytics' transport planning use cases and compete for the same government RFPs.
- TomTom: TomTom provides map and traffic data products to governments, automotive and enterprise customers. Its traffic and movement analytics offerings overlap with Teralytics' transport planning value proposition at a global scale.
Emerging players
- Placer.ai: Placer.ai is a foot-traffic and location analytics platform primarily focused on retail and real estate, but increasingly extending into mobility and urban planning use cases. It competes for parts of the analytics budget that transport planners and tourism boards might otherwise allocate to Teralytics.
- Arrivalist: Arrivalist provides visitor movement and tourism analytics derived from location data for destinations, DMOs and hospitality brands. It overlaps with Teralytics' tourism offering (visitBerlin) and competes for similar destination-marketing and tourism-board budgets.
Others
- SafeGraph: SafeGraph was a leading provider of anonymized points-of-interest and mobility-derived datasets, often used by researchers and planners. It is ecosystem-adjacent rather than a direct competitor to Teralytics, but its data has been used as an alternative or complement in similar transport analyses.
