About Ariadne Maps GmbH

We specialize in indoor positioning and human movement tracking. Our innovative approach allows us to locate and track all mobile phones in a building with an average accuracy of 1.3 meters. The phones only need to be switched on. In other words, the phones don’t need to have an app installed, don’t need to be connected to WiFi/Bluetooth, or be actively involved in tracking in any way. This works because we install our own small devices in the building. Installation is simple and can be carried out quickly by customers themselves by connecting the devices to a power source at selected locations. Once that’s done, our devices start capturing all signals in their environment and use them to calculate the positions of the phones. We can also distinguish phones from each other. Throughout our entire approach, we comply with GDPR rules and anonymize all data in real time.

ARCIS

ARCIS builds an AI-powered decision layer for logistics and freight operations. Many logistics teams today still work with fragmented processes across TMS systems, Excel files, emails, PDFs, and the individual experience of dispatchers. This results in manual work, slow handoffs, missing information, and inefficient planning decisions. ARCIS was founded by Onur Yılmaz and Birkan Kolcu, two computer engineers whose collaboration began 14 years ago as fellow students, roommates, and long-term technical partners. Onur combines computer science expertise, business-building experience, an MSc in Informatics from Technical University of Munich, experience at Intel, and strong connections to Munich’s startup ecosystem. Birkan brings technical depth from his computer science degree at the University of Arizona as well as practical experience in cloud engineering and scalable systems. The focus on logistics emerged from close relationships with logistics companies and operators in the team’s network. As these conversations increased, a recurring pattern became clear: high-quality operational decisions are still made manually across scattered systems and personal experience. ARCIS helps logistics teams connect this information and make decisions around dispatch planning, load-truck-driver matching, capacity utilization, document processes, and operational exceptions faster and more reliably—without replacing existing systems.
