You have a SaaS, TMS or fleet platform. You need an embedded navigation SDK inside it — maps, routing and in-app navigation done properly, not bolted on. Placematic designs, builds and ships the mapping layer directly into your product, powered by HERE and delivered as something you own.
Placematic delivers map and navigation functionality as an embedded, production-ready module inside your app — from HERE licensing to shipped code.
One of the more advanced things we build — and a good illustration of what "embedded properly" means.
Routing data from HERE. Business logic from you. We connect the two — invisibly.
A fleet telematics provider needed HGV navigation embedded directly in their driver tablet app — truck-safe routing, dispatcher corridors, and silent backend communication, with no navigation UI exposed to their app logic. Placematic designed and built it on HERE Premium SDK, delivered as a module they own.
The same embedded approach applies to any SaaS, TMS or fleet platform — in the US and beyond.
The navigation had to feel like it was always part of the product. Placematic delivered that — and handed us a codebase we actually own.

Custom map and navigation work is a commitment — you need a partner who'll be there through production and beyond.
Clear scope, clear ownership, no open-ended commitments.

Both. We build native iOS and Android, or cross-platform with Flutter — whichever fits your product and team. The truck navigation case study was delivered as a native Android module, but the same approach applies across platforms.
Yes. You get full source code and IP ownership of the navigation module — you own it outright, with no ongoing license to us. It’s your code, in your product, maintained on your terms.
That’s fine — we can build on your existing HERE entitlement, or set up licensing through Placematic as a HERE Gold Partner if you’d prefer one contract covering licensing, development and support. We’ll advise on whichever is cheaper and simpler for you.
Most engagements run in weeks, not quarters. We start with a scoped pilot — a working prototype in your environment — then move to production. Exact timeline depends on scope, but embedding a defined navigation feature is far faster than building it in-house from scratch.
Yes. We build routing that enforces real vehicle constraints — weight, height, axle load, ADR/hazmat cargo, and emissions — at the routing layer, using HERE’s truck routing profiles. Dispatcher-defined corridor navigation is one example of what we’ve shipped to production.
Yes. We build offline-ready architecture where routing, map rendering, search and traffic can each be toggled online or offline independently, with map data pre-loaded during device provisioning — essential for drivers in areas with poor signal.
You contract with Placematic USA LLC as your US-based partner. One agreement covers HERE licensing, development, integration and support — you never negotiate with HERE directly or manage SDK entitlements yourself.
