What Basetime does
Basetime BV is a Netherlands-based scale-up (founded 2018, headquartered in Houten; KvK 84189681) that designs and sells autonomous GNSS monitoring hardware and a cloud-based measurement management system for geodetic and structural monitoring of infrastructure. Its commercial product line consists of the Locator One device — designed for project-based and temporary deployments such as settlement-rod monitoring, landslide observation, and short-duration construction site surveys — and the Locator Two system, launched February 2026, which combines dual GNSS receivers with integrated 3D tilt sensing for permanent continuous monitoring of bridges, railways, harbor quay walls, and dams. Both devices transmit data autonomously over LTE-M to the proprietary Parvamoti cloud platform, where customers configure devices, view dashboards, run trend analyses, set thresholds, and receive automatic alerts.
The company monetizes across four revenue streams: one-time hardware sales (Locator One and Locator Two, with accessories), the Pay-Per-Measurement (PPM) credit-based usage subscription covering data collection, transmission, processing, storage and visualization (non-expiring credits, pay only for active measurements), equipment rental, and professional services delivered through certified partners. Pricing is quote-based for hardware and project setups and is not publicly disclosed; the webshop at webshop.basetime.nl supports direct SMB/self-serve purchase.
Basetime goes to market primarily through a structured three-tier global partner network (Channel Partners for distribution, Sales & Service Partners for installation and field support, and Solutions Partners for complex monitoring projects), covering 18+ partners across 15 territories in Europe, North America, Asia, and Oceania. The Benelux market is served directly through a Key Account Manager, while international expansion is led by a dedicated International Partner Manager. The customer base spans Dutch and European construction majors (Ballast Nedam, Boskalis, Heijmans, Van Oord, DEME, Geonius, Meetbv), port and government infrastructure operators (Port of Rotterdam, Rijkswaterstaat), energy (UNIPER), risk services (4risk), and international end-users (Geo-Instruments in the US, State Office for Surveying Vorarlberg in Austria). The company holds 4,000+ monitoring devices deployed across 500+ projects in 20+ countries. It is venture-backed, with rounds in March 2023 (Value Creation Capital) and July 2025 (ROM Utrecht Region, Value Creation Capital, Ernij Next), and is led by CEO Martijn Arkesteijn and co-founder/CTO Eltjo Keijer.
