What Traqnology does
Traqnology ApS is a Danish private limited company headquartered in Holstebro, Denmark, founded in 2018 by Claus Bjerre after developing a GPS-based line marking prototype in 2015. The company designs and distributes GPS autosteer hardware and software for professional turf care, sports field line marking, and pavement maintenance, targeting groundsmen, golf course greenkeepers, parks and recreation departments, contractors, and road construction firms.
Its product platform comprises four offerings: Sportstraq for sports field line marking, Turftraq for mowing and turf maintenance (including patented UEFA-compliant mowing patterns), Spraytraq for fertilizing and spraying with GPS-controlled section shut-off, and the Easy Switch Kit for transferring GPS hardware between vehicles in 1–5 minutes. The underlying technology is a RTK GPS system delivering sub-inch, repeatable accuracy, fed by a proprietary network of physical base stations that transmit satellite data to servers which generate correction maps delivered via cellular to a controlling iPad application. Hardware components are sourced from Western suppliers and are rated IP67 or better.
Traqnology sells through a quote-based model exclusively via an authorized global dealer network, with regional offices in the USA (Ladd, IL), UK (Buckinghamshire), and France (Avrille), and dealer presence in Denmark, Sweden, Canada, and Australia. The company is founder-owned and bootstrapped, with no disclosed institutional funding, no published pricing, and no public revenue figures.
