What Nextome does

Nextome is an Italian real-time location systems (RTLS) and indoor positioning company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Conversano, Apulia. The firm builds BLE-based positioning algorithms and has extended its stack to UWB and radar via its Truesense partnership, delivering centimeter-level indoor tracking, wayfinding, geofencing, and location analytics where GPS is unavailable. Its product surface includes the Nextome RTLS platform, the Nextome Hub Web cloud platform, the NxTracker smart-building/energy-optimization solution, a Mobile SDK for iOS and Android, and a portfolio of verticalized solutions (Telemachus and MIGLIORA in healthcare, SCORE in industrial M2M, MATRICS for infection-control workflows, and BICIFICATION for cycling mobility).

The company serves enterprise customers across healthcare, manufacturing, smart buildings, retail, museums, and transportation, with named deployments at Stellantis, CERN, Hitachi Rail, the European Space Agency, Capodichino Airport (Naples), Mermec, A2A, Growens, and Cognosos. Nextome generates revenue through a mix of hardware sales (beacons, anchors, tags), recurring software licenses and subscriptions, and professional services for deployment and integration; pricing is quote-based, varies with facility size and tracking-point count, and is delivered through multi-year contracts.

Commercially, Nextome runs an enterprise B2B go-to-market combining direct field sales with a channel program anchored by an ISV partnership with Zebra Technologies, system integrators such as Fincons and Axians, and ecosystem partners including Truesense, Mappedin, and DuPont; it is also a certified Omlox Hub partner. The company is privately held, founder-controlled, financed primarily through Italian and EU grant programs (Horizon 2020, MISE, MUR, EIT Mobility, Regione Puglia, ESA) supplemented by a modest external funding history totaling roughly $2.2M through 2022. Operations span Europe with disclosed activity in Germany, Portugal, Estonia, and Turkey, plus limited presence in the US, China, and South Korea.
