Our history
Where was the project born?
Our journey began in 2016. Specifically, on the day the exhaust pipe was stolen from the motorcycle of Javi, co-founder and current CEO of Mapit. “How can something as important to a person as their motorbike not be connected to them so they know where they are at all times?” we asked.
Design of the first Mapit
With this concern and the great challenge ahead, we designed the first GPS device specifically for motorcycles and devised the services with which to provide security and peace of mind to our customers through an app. In the end, we were the first ones interested in finding a way to worry only about enjoying the pleasure of driving and moving calmly through the city.
Our CEO’s motorcycle is stolen
The device works! The acid test came in 2016. Again, Javi’s motorcycle was stolen in Barcelona. This time, however, we were better prepared: with a Mapit device installed on his motorcycle, he was able to locate and recover his vehicle. That’s how we knew with certainty and firsthand that we were doing it right and that we could help our clients with their needs.
Agreement with Honda
By working very hard and thanks to our mastery of IoT technology, we managed to make a name for ourselves in the industry. Just one year after our founding, we signed our first major agreement with Honda Motor Europe. Since November 2017 and until today, Honda motorcyclists enjoy the multiple advantages offered by Mapit within the Honda Plus service pack.
Product improvement
We continue to evolve with the technique that has never failed us: listening to our customers. We launched new services and functionalities in our apps (geofence technology, the possibility of being in contact with the Official Honda Service for an optimal service of the motorcycle, etc.). We are also continuously improving our device. In 2019 we had worked on 5 different versions, each one superior to the previous one.
Awards and recognition
Thanks to a talented and committed team of 25 people, we have been recognized and awarded by several entities: NEOTEC, the program for innovative technology-based companies with R+D+I projects; Amazon Web Services for being one of the Startups with one of the best architectures and innovative solutions in 2020; the Ministry of Science and Innovation for our innovative traits…
Future
How do we see the future? At Mapit we believe that in the near future all our devices will be connected to us to improve our quality of life. Therefore, we want to position ourselves as a leading company in the IoT sector, providing solutions through a service platform that changes the way we interact with our devices, not only with our vehicles. We know it’s an ambitious and challenging adventure… will you join us?
