About 300 million people worldwide view MapTiler maps every month. In countries including the US, France, Germany, Japan, the Arabic regions, and more, MapTiler products and services are already used by many companies. Following rapid growth and international success, MapTiler has now launched its website in Switzerland with major customers including SBB, NZZ, Siemens Schweiz among others.
MapTiler uses vector technology to curate and offer high-resolution street and satellite maps of the entire world for companies. MapTiler’s offering comprises Maps APIs as a cloud service to customers from a reliable server infrastructure with usage-based billing and a package of data and software which comes with an annual subscription for deploying maps on-premise, with additional licenses for redistribution or integration with third-party products.
The services make it easy to integrate companies’ own data, and the resulting maps can be customized to fit every website, app or brand, and are available via the cloud or even offline. Furthermore, MapTiler guarantees users privacy, thereby ensuring safe usage of its solutions for both the companies and end-users interacting with the maps.
Early successes include multi-million annual revenue
After initial success as the product of a consulting company, MapTiler AG was founded as a spin-off in 2020 to unify all the MapTiler products and activities under a single brand. The startup already serves hundreds of thousands of customers globally with high-quality maps, with about 300 million people seeing the maps each month. MapTiler’s infrastructure, data, and software are trusted by major global companies and institutions, including Airbus, Oracle, Siemens, NASA, Wetter.com, and countless more worldwide.
MapTiler is currently bootstrapped with a multi-million revenue, which supports its growth and further developments. The 30-man team is currently working towards advancing its offering with advanced weather visualization tools and technologies to enable offline applications, including for the defence sector.
A global company with a local focus
MapTiler has now launched its website (Maptiler.ch) in Switzerland, with MapTiler.ch serving major Swiss customers, including SBB, NZZ, Schweiz Tourismus (MySwitzerland), Siemens Schweiz, Repower, and many others.
This expansion complements MapTiler’s presence and partner networks in several other countries, including France (maptiler.fr), Germany (maptiler.de), Netherlands (maptiler.nl), Czech Republic (maptiler.cz), Japan (maptiler.jp), and the Arabic region (maptiler.ae).
In addition to standard maps based on OpenStreetMap, MapTiler integrates open government data from many countries, including the US, Germany, France, and Switzerland. Further initiatives are underway to expand the integration of datasets complementary to OpenStreetMap. These are offered to customers via its APIs and self-hosting packages.
Projects with Facebook, Amazon & Microsoft
MapTiler has recently collaborated with groups of other companies to work on an open-source map rendering library for web and mobile called MapLibre and to integrate data from the Daylight Map Distribution project. MapTiler also continues to lead the OpenMapTiles project, improving the accessibility of vector tiles technology for a wider global community. All of these projects remain under further development and are supported by many important contributors, including MapTiler.
“The importance of these projects at the international scale, with growing involvement from major firms including Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft, shows that MapTiler is committed to the success of open source, as well as its own products”, elaborates Luis Suter, MapTiler’s Contracts Lead & Sales Executive.
