Basetime

Basetime operates at the intersection of geodetic science and the Internet of Things (IoT), offering autonomous monitoring solutions for high-precision geodetic data collection. The company originated in 2018 from a collaboration between an IoT firm, SODAQ, and a geodetic consultancy, Richtlijn Geodesie, and was officially established as a joint venture in 2021. This partnership combines expertise in IoT development with geodetic services to enhance the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of complex projects.

The core of Basetime's business is providing a full-stack solution that includes hardware, a database, a dashboard, and ongoing support. Its flagship product, the Locator One, is an autonomous, solar-powered 3D monitoring station that uses GNSS technology to provide sub-centimeter accuracy. This device is designed to monitor ground settlements, the structural integrity of tunnels and bridges, water levels, and movements in dredging or mining operations. Data collected by the Locator One is transmitted via an IoT network to Basetime's cloud, where it is processed and can be accessed by clients through the Parvamoti management system or integrated into their own systems via an API.

Basetime serves a global client base that includes contractors, geotechnical companies, surveyors, engineers, and asset managers in the construction and infrastructure sectors. The company has already attracted major clients like Boskalis, Van Oord, and Heijmans. Revenue is generated through the sale or rental of its measurement devices, facilitated by a global network of partners, and through flexible data subscriptions, including a Pay-Per-Measurement (PPM) model where clients pay only for active data generation. The company is headquartered in Houten, the Netherlands, and has received venture capital funding from investors including Value Creation Capital, ROM Utrecht Region, and Ernij Next to support its growth.
