Our company
We started from one observation: the highway authority did not have the means to size their vehicle fleet, since there was no system in place to objectively measure the cleanliness level.
We developed a solution with EPFL, HE-Arc, the cities of Zurich, Fribourg, Pully and the Canton of Geneva, with the support of Innosuisse, the FOEN and the Canton of Fribourg. We are extremely grateful to them.
What drives us is passion: to solve — actively interacting with our clients — issues which improve the quality of life, the preservation of the environment and the quality of our employees’ work. AI and digital technologies in support of measurable and sustainable improvements.
