What SWAT Mobility does

SWAT Mobility is a Singapore-headquartered AI technology company founded in 2015 that builds a vehicle routing and dispatch optimisation platform for two core markets: logistics operators (delivered via the Dispatch Management System covering route optimisation, dispatch scheduling, load and pallet optimisation, and track-and-trace) and people mobility operators (delivered via the Demand-Responsive Transport product serving city on-demand transport, employee shuttles, non-emergency medical transport, and airport public transport). The underlying technology is a proprietary route optimisation algorithm with 200+ configurable parameters that processes structured fleet, traffic, and demand data to generate routes dynamically; SWAT reports 1.6 million+ optimised routes delivered across 200+ projects in 60+ countries. The platform exposes a public API (documented at dev.swatmobility.com) and has been embedded into NEC Solution Innovators' transport management system in Japan.

The company monetises through quote-based enterprise subscriptions, potential transaction or usage fees, and professional services for implementation, customisation, and analytics. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise field sales targeting city governments and large corporate employers, supplemented by API/OEM channel partnerships (NEC), event-driven demand generation across DELIVER Asia, Smart Logistics EXPO Japan, and Smart Delivery Expo Thailand, and hardware validation partnerships (Zebra Technologies). Operations span Singapore, Japan (70+ on-demand transport locations), Thailand, and the Philippines, serving named customers including J:COM, Singapore Airlines, Sembcorp Marine, Toyota Mobility Foundation, KMC Solutions, ST Engineering, SITA, Lonza, SPH, Resorts World Singapore, and multiple Japanese municipal governments.

SWAT Mobility has raised approximately US$17.1 million across disclosed funding rounds since 2015, including a US$10.1 million Series A in 2019 led by University of Tokyo Edge Capital Partners, and a US$7.2 million round in April 2024 featuring NEC Corporation, NIPPON EXPRESS Holdings, and Chubu Electric Power as strategic investors. The company reports 56% year-over-year revenue growth in its Japan operations, has achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, and was named a supported company for the 2025 Tokyo Stock Exchange Asia Startup Hub initiative.
