What Visioglobe does

Visioglobe SAS, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Montbonnot-Saint-Martin (France) with a wholly-owned subsidiary in Montreal, Canada (established 2021), develops a 3D indoor mapping and wayfinding platform deployed across 1,000+ venues in 30+ countries. Its core technology stack comprises VisioMapEditor (a no-code map authoring tool), VisioOne (a unified cross-platform SDK), VisioMoveEssential (native iOS/Android SDK), VisioWeb (JavaScript/WebGL SDK for browser and kiosk), VisioAssets (SaaS visualization of sensor-driven asset data) and VisioMapServer (map bundle retrieval backend). The platform renders maps under 5MB even for a 1,000,000 m² venue with 1,500 POIs, loads in under 2 seconds, supports offline/airplane mode, accessibility-friendly routing, geofencing, real-time asset tracking, and an emergency management module, and is interoperable with DWG/PDF/PNG/GeoJSON inputs, React Native, Flutter, indoor positioning systems and CMS platforms via a setPlaceName-style API. Customer segments span shopping malls and commercial real estate (Westfield/URW, JLL), airports (Hamad International Airport, Dubai Airports, KLIA via SITA), corporate offices (Microsoft, L'Oréal, Société Générale, Orange Business Services), healthcare, universities (Ready Education), smart cities (Msheireb Properties), events, museums and cruise ships.

The business model is B2B enterprise software. Revenue is generated primarily through annual per-platform / per-user-type license fees for VisioMapEditor plus SDK consumption fees, with pricing calculated by floor-plan surface area (minimum 10,000 m²; maximum 200,000 m²; no automatic renewal). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with 30-minute expert consultations, a partner-led channel of 30+ certified integrators (Cardiweb, SITA, Ready Education, Orange Business Services, Schneider Electric, Pole Star, Weeswares), and a self-service developer portal (my.visioglobe.com). The company reports a 98.8% client renewal rate and 500+ live customers. Visioglobe is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding beyond a €1.78M round in October 2009, suggesting a cash-disciplined, founder-led operating profile with a small team of around 18 employees. Recent notable moves include leadership transition to Eric Bernard as CEO, the 2024 VisioMoveEssential 2.0.0 release with APAC language support, and ongoing VisioMapEditor / VisioWeb product updates.
