What Yeti Move does

Yeti Move AS is a Norwegian technology company that develops a modular, cloud-based SaaS platform for autonomous airside operations at airports. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Drammen, Norway, the company's platform consists of four integrated products: Yeti Hub (central cloud intelligence platform for digital infrastructure, mission planning, simulation, and live operational insight), Yeti Connect (OEM-agnostic vehicle connectivity for retrofitting existing fleets), Yeti Driver Assist (advanced driver assistance with real-time mission guidance and automated equipment control), and Yeti Autonomy (supervised autonomous mission execution with coordinated fleet operations). The technology centers on a digital twin architecture that connects vehicles, operators, planners, and external systems into a unified airside ecosystem capable of year-round winter and summer operations.

The company generates revenue through annual SaaS subscriptions for its modular platform combined with hardware sales for retrofit connectivity units, with quote-based enterprise pricing. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales targeting large hub airports with channel partnerships: Aebi Schmidt Group (NASDAQ: AEBI) provides exclusive OEM-embedded distribution in the US and selected European/Japanese markets, while Øveraasen AS extends global reach to approximately 1,000 airports. Named customers include Oslo Airport Gardermoen (6 RS600 autonomous snowplows), Stockholm Arlanda Airport (20 autonomous runway sweepers since 2020), Vienna Airport, Fraport Frankfurt, iGA Istanbul Airport, and Tromsø Airport.

In October 2024, Yeti Move was acquired by an investor group organized under Yeti Invest AS (75% ownership, with employees holding 25%), with the explicit mandate to scale globally. The company operates with a 12-person team and has expanded into the DACH market and Japan through strategic partnerships. Emil Lindegaard was appointed CEO in February 2026 to drive international growth, positioning the company to capture demand from the ICAO 2028 digital mandate and structural labor shortages in airport ground operations.

Core offering

Yeti Move develops and sells a modular SaaS platform for autonomous airside operations at airports, comprising four integrated products: Yeti Hub (cloud-based intelligence and mission planning platform), Yeti Connect (OEM-agnostic vehicle connectivity and retrofit hardware), Yeti Driver Assist (in-vehicle advanced driver assistance system), and Yeti Autonomy (coordinated autonomous fleet operations service). The platform is sold primarily to large hub airports and airport ground handlers to digitize planning, fleet monitoring, driver assistance, and full autonomy for snow removal, runway sweeping, de-icing, and other airside maintenance vehicles.

Product overview

Yeti Move is a modular SaaS platform for autonomous airside operations at airports. The platform is architected as four integrated products: Yeti Hub (the central cloud intelligence platform providing digital infrastructure, mission planning, simulation, training, and live operational insight), Yeti Connect (OEM-agnostic vehicle connectivity for live tracking and fleet visibility), Yeti Driver Assist (in-vehicle advanced driver assistance with real-time guidance, digital runway visualization, and automated equipment control), and Yeti Autonomy (supervised autonomous mission execution with coordinated fleet operations and real-time monitoring). These four modules work together to support the full operational lifecycle from planning and simulation through assisted execution to fully autonomous driving, with retrofit options for existing vehicle fleets.
