TomTom

The company operates a location technology and services model built around proprietary global digital map, traffic and mobility data. It creates value by maintaining and updating mapping, traffic and places datasets and turning them into APIs, SDKs, embedded software and analytics products that other organisations can integrate into their own applications, vehicles and planning workflows. For the automotive and enterprise segments, it licenses map content, navigation software and live services (traffic, speed cameras, search) under multi‑year agreements, often bundled with integration and support. For developers and smaller businesses, it exposes capabilities through self‑serve APIs and SDKs with clear quotas and metered usage. In consumer markets, it packages the same assets into subscription apps and dedicated navigation hardware devices. This combination of platform access, licensing and end‑user products monetises the same core data and technology stack across B2B and B2C channels.

TomTom N.V. is a Netherlands‑based digital mapping and location technology company that provides maps, navigation, traffic data and mobility analytics to developers, enterprises and the automotive industry, alongside consumer navigation apps and devices. Its platform exposes maps, routing, traffic and places via APIs and SDKs; it also supplies embedded navigation software and services for vehicles and offers traffic and mobility analytics products for public- and private‑sector transport planners.

The company generates revenue from usage‑based pricing on its developer APIs, enterprise and automotive licensing contracts, subscriptions for consumer navigation apps, and sales of dedicated navigation hardware with optional connected services. Its customers include software developers and SaaS firms integrating maps, logistics and mobility companies, automotive OEMs and in‑vehicle system providers, city and transport authorities using mobility analytics, and consumers buying navigation apps or devices.
