What DotVision does

DotVision is a French private IoT company headquartered in Moissy-Cramayel that develops connected devices and platforms across six verticals: Industry 5.0, Smart Building, Transport and Mobility, Security and Defense, Sport, and Education. The company has operated GPS tracking for outdoor sports since 2010 through its MyMotion platform and was formally incorporated as DotVision SAS in 2014 with registered capital of €169,430; it maintains a US subsidiary (DotVision, Inc., Delaware) and a contract-manufacturing arm, Europrod, in Bar-sur-Aube.

The technology stack spans the full IoT chain. Blue Panda is a low-memory RTOS deployable on any sensor or connected gateway and capable of importing ONNX models for embedded inference. Blue Forest is a cloud or on-premise device-management and data-exploitation platform. Blue Leaf is an edge-AI layer for industrial sensor networks. Hardware products include the Spoony family of energy sub-metering devices (1.5, 2.0, Educ), Aloha multi-signal acquisition, HoliRail 2.0 for rail, Tracker GPS for sport, and the Pumba VOC-detection beacon launched in 2023. Services are delivered through IoT Lab (custom development) and Europrod (Made-in-France contract manufacturing). AI was reasserted as a strategic pillar with a "second development phase towards AIoT" announced in November 2025.

Revenue is generated across five streams: one-time IoT hardware sales; short-term GPS-tracker rentals for sports events with non-refundable 30% deposits and per-device insurance of €2.50; pay-per-use rentals of the MyMotion platform; recurring subscriptions to Blue Forest and Blue Leaf (Safety Pack, Participants Pack, Complete Pack); and professional services for IoT Lab and Europrod. Go-to-market blends enterprise field sales with formal quotations for B2B verticals, self-serve rental flows and a mobile app for amateur athletes, and an operator/reseller channel in which service providers such as Golazo purchase beacons and rent the platform per event. Named enterprise customers include Andorra Ultra Trail, Red Bull, GravelMan Series, Maui Jim Pailolo Challenge, and Dokever Assistance; integrations with Logicoss and Minutis (French Red Cross) emergency management systems anchor the safety use case.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Emerging players

• Particle Industries: Particle offers an IoT platform with cellular hardware, an edge OS, and a managed cloud. Comparable to DotVision's BluePanda + Blue Forest stack in providing end-to-end connected-device infrastructure for B2B customers.
• Actility: Actility (ThingPark) provides a LoRaWAN IoT platform for industrial IoT deployments. Comparable to DotVision's Blue Forest platform in industrial-scale IoT device management and LoRa-based asset visibility.
• Sigfox: Sigfox operates a low-power IoT network whose beacons DotVision integrates with via MyMotion. Sigfox is comparable in the IoT connectivity layer and represents both a partner channel and a competing standards choice for low-power device tracking.

Direct peers

• STATSports: STATSports builds GPS performance trackers and athlete monitoring solutions used by elite teams. Its Apex device and Sonra platform compete directly with DotVision's Tracker GPS and MyMotion platform in elite outdoor and team sports tracking.
• Catapult Sports: Catapult provides GPS-based athlete tracking and performance analytics for professional sports teams. Catapult and DotVision MyMotion serve the same core use case - live GPS tracking and analytics for athletes and teams - with Catapult focused on team sports and DotVision on outdoor endurance.

Broad incumbents

• Polar Electro: Polar produces sports wearables and GPS tracking products with strong European (Finland) market presence. Comparable to DotVision Motion in athlete tracking, though Polar is consumer/D2C-led and DotVision is event-rental-led.
• Garmin: Garmin dominates consumer GPS wearables and offers live tracking via Garmin LiveTrack that is integrated into DotVision's MyMotion platform. Garmin is a partner and competitor: it builds the consumer hardware baseline that DotVision's rental beacons replace in some use cases.
• Suunto: Suunto manufactures outdoor sports watches and GPS devices used by trail runners, hikers, and outdoor professionals. Suunto is comparable as an outdoor GPS ecosystem targeting the same athlete persona DotVision addresses via MyMotion.
• Schneider Electric: Schneider Electric dominates European energy management, sub-metering, and building automation. Comparable to DotVision's Spoony sub-metering line and Smart Building vertical at the incumbent scale.
• Samsara: Samsara is a large-scale industrial IoT platform for fleet, asset, and facility visibility. Comparable to DotVision's industrial visibility (Aloha multi-signal acquisition) and Blue Forest analytics in the broader IIoT space, but at much larger scale.
