Core offering

VIA IMC operates as the infrastructure innovation platform of VINCI, providing digital tools and services for modern road construction. Core offerings include the AVUS.DIGITAL browser-based platform integrating drone surveying, BIM/GIS modeling, and project management; AVUS.Drohne drone-based surveying services; POA asphalt process optimization software; the TaschenMesser mobile measurement suite (GeoAce, StockAce, ScanAce); and BIM/IIM consulting plus drone pilot training services.

Product overview

VIA Imc operates as the infrastructure innovation platform of VINCI, offering a comprehensive suite of digital tools for modern infrastructure construction. The core portfolio centers on three main products—Drohne (drone surveying), TaschenMesser (mobile measurement suite with GeoAce, StockAce, ScanAce), and POA (asphalt process optimization)—all accessible through the AVUS.DIGITAL browser-based platform. Research and development spans computer vision, data analysis, data integration, and GIS applications. The company also provides BIM/IIM consulting services and the TAMT asset management tool. These products integrate with iTWO and PowerBI for project management and analytics, supporting the full construction lifecycle from concept through operation.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Bentley Systems: Bentley Systems is a leading infrastructure engineering software company offering OpenRoads, iTwin Platform, and BIM solutions for road and bridge design. Directly comparable to VIA IMC in providing digital tools for road infrastructure lifecycle management, though at significantly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Trimble: Trimble provides construction technology, surveying instruments, and geospatial solutions widely used in road construction and infrastructure projects. Directly comparable through its overlap with VIA IMC in drone surveying workflows, BIM integration, and construction site positioning technology.
• RIB Software: RIB Software (now part of Schneider Electric) develops the iTWO construction management platform, which VIA IMC directly integrates with via AVUS.DIGITAL. RIB is a direct peer and potential competitor in BIM-conform project management and cost calculation for infrastructure construction.
• Topcon Positioning Systems: Topcon manufactures positioning, surveying, and construction technology solutions including machine control systems for asphalt paving. Directly comparable to VIA IMC through overlap in road construction digitalization, drone surveying integration, and asphalt paving process optimization (POA).

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk: Autodesk is the dominant incumbent in BIM and construction software with Revit, Civil 3D, and InfraWorks used widely in infrastructure projects. A broad incumbent whose BIM platform overlaps with VIA IMC's IIM methodology, though Autodesk operates across AEC broadly rather than specializing in road construction.
• Hexagon AB: Hexagon provides geospatial and construction technology solutions including Leica surveying instruments and HxGN SDx digital twin platforms. A broad incumbent with overlapping capabilities in surveying, BIM integration, and infrastructure asset management relevant to VIA IMC's offerings.
• Procore Technologies: Procore is a leading cloud-based construction management platform connecting project stakeholders across the construction lifecycle. A broad incumbent whose project management and BIM coordination capabilities overlap with VIA IMC's AVUS.DIGITAL, though Procore serves general construction rather than specializing in road infrastructure.

Emerging players

• DroneDeploy: DroneDeploy offers a cloud-based drone mapping and analytics platform for construction and infrastructure projects. An emerging player with partial overlap in drone-based surveying workflows and 3D point cloud processing, though DroneDeploy is platform-agnostic rather than road-specialized like VIA IMC.
• AirWorks: AirWorks provides AI-powered drone surveying and CAD/BIM drawing automation specifically for architecture, engineering, and construction firms. An emerging player with meaningful overlap in automated drone-to-CAD/BIM workflows for infrastructure projects, competing for similar AEC customers.

Others

• Esri: Esri is the dominant GIS software provider (ArcGIS) that VIA IMC builds upon for its GIS applications and infrastructure visualization. An adjacent technology provider and integration partner rather than a direct competitor, but its ArcGIS Enterprise platform underpins much of VIA IMC's spatial data infrastructure.
