Four computer science PhDs get lost inside a mall. That’s the exact moment in which we discovered a problem and started ideating Nextome.

After less than one year since the inception, we created the first prototype based on Bluetooth® Low-Energy and handcrafted antenna. We also filed for the patent.

ATAC and FCA entered our portfolio, taking advantage of our people and assets tracking solution. The same year, we launched our CMS for acquiring maps, routes and events and introduced particle filtering.

We entered the healthcare industry supporting CRO Hospital in Aviano and developed a PoC for Rome Fiumicino Airport. The same year, we expanded our patent to the USA and Singapore. We also received the first prize of the Smart City Innovators Award of Busan Metropolitan City from the Young ICT Leaders forum.

We refined our filtering technology with deep learning, while the European Commission awarded us as Best solution for Cybersecurity.

We reinforced our partnership with FCA, bringing our technology to the Cento plant, and developed a PoC with Gucci for their plant near Florence. We were also selected at CES in Las Vegas.

We signed a partnership with the Apulia Region to bring our solutions to museums. We also developed PoCs for Athens Airport, Bari Polyclinic Hospital and Carnival Cruise, improving our capability to span across different industries.

We started our ongoing research to improve accuracy up to 30 cm, always leveraging Bluetooth® Low-Energy 5.2. In 2020, Forbes Italy selected our co-founders Domenico Colucci and Giangiuseppe Tateo as “Top 30 Under 30”.
