Mission-critical routing · Since 1994

We get your people to placesstandard maps have never heard of.

From dispatch planning to navigation in the vehicle: our own map, our own navigation, our own cloud. On forest tracks, at substations without an address, at incident sites without coverage. Location tech made in Germany.

We are Localion

Three scenes, one problem

Where your work happens, the map stops.

Consumer navigation is built for addresses. Your destinations do not have any.

5:10 am, unfamiliar forest district

The driver is looking for the timber pile. The forest tracks are on no map, coverage is gone, the load is waiting.

3:07 am, emergency response

The approach to the incident site runs over a service track. The sat nav has never heard of it. Dispatch is counting the minutes.

10:40 pm, pressure drop in the grid

The regulator station sits behind the tree line, no address, no lights. The technician is driving on instinct.

From searching to finding: a callout with Localion

An image sequence tells the story of an early-morning callout: at night, the grid reports a fault. The destination lies off the road, without address or light. Localion guides the team over service tracks right to the door. By sunrise, the job is long done.

Night and rain: an unlit station at the forest edge, the way there barely visible.
04:12. The destination lies off the road: no address, no light, no coverage.
Morning light: a service vehicle parked at the station, the door open.
05:12. Localion guided right to the door. The job is done before the sun is fully up.

How it works

With us, the path to your destination literally is a route.

Three building blocks work together. You can start with any one of them.

  1. The map

    The Germany Plus Map adds over 1m km of official ways from cadastral data to commercial road maps: forest, farm and service tracks.

  2. The application

    Localion Navigator guides vehicles right to the target, fully offline. Localion Cloud plans server-side: routing, matrix, optimisation, geocoding.

  3. The arrival

    Your people reach timber piles, incident sites or grid assets without searching. And wherever there are roads, we deliver precise travel-time predictions from real traffic data.

Evidence, not claims

In the field since 1994. Started as a Fraunhofer spin-off.

And the second half of our work: precise travel-time predictions wherever there are roads, so field-service teams and SAP users plan their tours with real arrival times.

„We have been working together in trust for 20 years. The Localion Navigator Forestry makes navigating the forest so much easier. We could practically not handle these large timber volumes, up to 1 million cubic metres a year, without it.“
Kleinheinz Transport & Logistik, customer for over 20 years (translated)
