TomTom is integrating its global map and traffic data into Esri's ArcGIS geospatial platform.

The information provides location insight for a wide range of applications, including maintaining vital infrastructure and studying traffic flows.

Geographic information system (GIS) software specialist Esri built and maintains ArcGIS. The California-based company says its software is used by over 650,000 organisations, including national and local governments, educational and non-profit institutions, as well as transportation companies.

Mike Schoofs, TomTom chief revenue officer, says: “Building on our joint interest to collaboratively advance location technology, we are now combining what we do best to help businesses and governments address their challenges with location-informed insights.”

In February 2023, Esri joined the Overture Maps Foundation, a collaboration founded by Amazon Web Services, Meta, Microsoft, and TomTom.
