What Yanosik does

Yanosik S.A. (formerly Neptis S.A.) is a Poznań-based, publicly traded (WSE main market since December 2024 under ticker YNS) road safety and driver services platform anchored on a crowdsourced hazard-warning network. Its core technology ingests real-time GPS and incident reports from 5M+ users across the free Yanosik mobile app and a family of YANBOX hardware devices (GO, RS, GTR, XS, and legacy GTR/GTS/GT, GTM), turning that flow into alerts covering accidents, speed cameras, section-speed measurements, police controls, and road blockages, with a European speed-camera database and ~40 billion GPS data points processed monthly. The portfolio extends well beyond alerts to Radio Yanosik streaming (with multiple themed stations), Autoplac (vehicle classifieds), Yanosik Warsztaty (workshop directory and certification), Yanosik Ubezpieczenia / YU (motor and travel insurance including usage-based cover), Flotis (GPS fleet monitoring), and Yanosik Traffic (B2B traffic data and analytics jointly developed with Be-Mobile, serving road operators, cities, logistics, and parking operators).

The business model is multi-stream and explicitly diversified, with no single stream exceeding 40% of total revenue. Consumer revenue comes from in-app advertising (full-screen, banners, audio POI, branded POI markers) targeting a captive audience of Polish drivers, one-time YANBOX hardware sales through the Yanosik shop and major Polish retail chains (Media Expert, x-kom, RTV Euro AGD, Max Elektro, CCA, Autos), and annual data-transmission subscriptions (e.g., 12-month YANBOX XS subscription from 139 PLN, with auto-renewal). YANBOX GO is sold without a subscription as an entry-level hardware offer. Affiliate and commission income is generated via integrated travel insurance, e-vignettes, motorway videotolling, and motor insurance services. Enterprise revenue is generated by Yanosik Traffic (FCD-based real-time and historical analytics, including FLOWcheck with a 24-month lookback) and Flotis fleet-monitoring subscriptions sold via direct sales teams. The go-to-market is hybrid: product-led growth for the free app with hardware upsell for power users, direct sales for B2B advertising and Yanosik Traffic, and channel partners (dealers, retail chains, and affiliate sites such as winiety-online.pl and kioskpolis.pl) for distribution.

Operational momentum is demonstrated by 2024 average MAU of 2.28 million, 26M+ cumulative app downloads, 23 billion km driven annually by users, app store ratings of 4.6 (Android) and 4.2 (iOS), Q1 2025 sales profitability of 8.52%, and a current liquidity ratio of 3.66. Yanosik is run by an experienced management team led by President Adam Tychmanowicz, with Dawid Nowicki and Jakub Wesołowski as board members, all reappointed in November 2023 ahead of the WSE main market move in December 2024 and the 2,000,000 PLN FY2023 dividend.

Others

• Geotab: Global leader in commercial fleet GPS tracking and telematics — directly comparable to Yanosik's Flotis subsidiary offering fleet monitoring and vehicle-location services.
• Be-Mobile: Belgian traffic-management platform that powers Yanosik Traffic's B2B product suite (Traffic Monitor, FLOWcheck, Incident Editor); an enabling technology partner and partial competitor in European traffic analytics.

Direct peers

• INRIX: Provider of real-time and historical traffic analytics, incident management, and road-operator analytics — directly comparable to Yanosik Traffic's B2B offering and crowd-sourced data monetization.
• Coyote: French subscription-based speed-camera and hazard-alert service with dedicated hardware devices — the closest international analogue to Yanosik's YANBOX subscription + hardware model.
• Waze: Google-owned crowdsourced navigation and hazard-alert app with the most directly comparable consumer product: real-time accident, police and road-hazard alerts contributed by drivers in exchange for free navigation.
• NaviExpert: Polish navigation app combining offline maps, real-time traffic, and speed-camera alerts — a domestic peer targeting the same Polish driver audience with a comparable alert-led value proposition.
• AutoMapa: Polish turn-by-turn navigation app with offline maps and traffic data; competing head-to-head with Yanosik in the Polish consumer navigation market.

Broad incumbents

• TomTom: Navigation and traffic-intelligence provider serving both consumers and enterprises; a broad incumbent with overlapping traffic-data, mapping, and driver-services products to Yanosik's combined consumer/B2B play.
• HERE Technologies: Global mapping and location platform that sells traffic data, navigation, and fleet APIs; broader portfolio but overlaps with Yanosik Traffic on floating car data and enterprise traffic services.
• Google Maps: Free global navigation platform with crowdsourced incident data and deep Android integration; the dominant consumer alternative competing for Polish drivers' navigation time and ad-attention against Yanosik.
