What Navigine does

Navigine is a privately held US-incorporated (Delaware, 2014) indoor positioning and Real-Time Location System (RTLS) software company headquartered at 335 Madison Avenue, New York, with a European sales office in Berlin. The company builds a multi-technology positioning platform supporting BLE, UWB, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi RTT, Ultrasonic and Angle-of-Arrival (AoA) hardware, layered over a proprietary algorithm stack (Zone-based Localization, K-Nearest Neighbours, Particle Filter, RSSI-based and inertial navigation). Its commercial offering is structured around two core products — Navigine SDK (indoor wayfinding for iOS, Android, Flutter and React-Native mobile applications) and Navigine Tracking (sub-meter-accuracy RTLS for asset and personnel tracking) — alongside operational modules for geofencing, AR indoor navigation, and indoor analytics, as well as The SmartDS, a vertical AI-driven product for quick-commerce fulfillment.

The company sells to enterprise customers in manufacturing, logistics and warehousing, healthcare, retail, shopping malls, data centers, transportation, oil and gas, museums, universities and automotive, with documented deployments and case studies at Halliburton (22% tool retrieval time reduction), Kesko (6% average check size increase across 100+ supermarkets in Finland), Toyota (2-5 minute parking search reduction), Honeywell, Mercedes-Benz, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and a Tier-1 global colocation provider (42% reduction in escort labor). Its go-to-market combines enterprise field sales from New York and Berlin, a structured Partnership Program of 15+ technology and channel partners (including MOKO SMART, Minew, Quuppa, Kontakt.io), and a product-led self-serve motion via the Navigine Store, which sells pre-configured BLE and UWB Demo Kits and developer SDK access.

Revenue is generated through three streams: subscription and licensing of the software platform (SDK and RTLS), hardware sales of BLE/UWB tags, beacons, gateways and antennas via the online store and bundled deployments, and professional services for customization and integration. Pricing is quote-based and tied to number of locations, tracked assets and accuracy tier. The company has raised approximately USD 2 million in disclosed funding across pre-seed and seed rounds between 2014 and 2017 from Starta Capital, AYR Ventures, Innovestor, John Ason and business angels, and operates with headcount in the 11-50 range; it has not publicly disclosed revenue or ARR.

Revenue model

1. Software Platform Licensing (SDK & RTLS): Navigine generates recurring and one-time software revenue through its SDK (for mobile app developers) and RTLS Tracking platform (for enterprise asset/personnel monitoring). The SDK is integrated into mobile applications, and the RTLS platform is deployed as a managed service or on-premise solution. Pricing is typically subscription-based or volume-based for enterprise deployments.
2. Hardware Sales (Tags, Beacons, Gateways, Antennas): Navigine sells companion hardware including BLE tags, UWB tags, IoT gateways, and UWB antennas through its online store and as part of demo kit packages. Hardware is pre-configured and integrated with the software platform for out-of-the-box deployment.
3. Professional Services & Implementation: Custom solution development, system integration, and deployment services are provided for enterprise clients. Navigine collaborates with system integrators, IoT hardware vendors, and value-added resellers to deliver tailored indoor navigation and tracking solutions across different verticals.

Core offering

Navigine provides an indoor positioning and real-time location system (RTLS) software platform that delivers sub-meter accurate tracking of assets, personnel, and visitors inside complex indoor environments. The company sells two core product lines — the Navigine SDK (for embedding indoor wayfinding into iOS, Android, Flutter, and React-Native mobile apps) and Navigine Tracking (an enterprise RTLS platform for asset and personnel monitoring using BLE, UWB, and Wi-Fi) — along with companion hardware (BLE/UWB tags, gateways, antennas) and a sub-brand called The SmartDS for Quick Commerce fulfillment.

Product overview

Navigine delivers a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on two core products: Navigine SDK (indoor wayfinding and navigation) and Navigine Tracking (RTLS asset and personnel tracking). These are supported by the Navigine Platform providing the underlying indoor positioning infrastructure, The SmartDS for quick-commerce fulfillment optimization, and Demo Kits for rapid pilot deployment. The SDK integrates into mobile apps (iOS, Android, Flutter, React-Native) while the Tracking platform operates as a standalone RTLS system. Additional modules include Indoor Wayfinding, Geofencing, AR Indoor Navigation, and Indoor Analytics. The ecosystem is extended through the Navigine Store for hardware kits, Navigine Community for developer engagement, and comprehensive documentation and developer resources. The company serves diverse industries including manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, retail, oil and gas, real estate, construction, transportation, and automotive sectors, with offices in New York and Berlin.
