Management Board Preface
To our shareholders, investors and other interested parties
We are delighted to present the GeoJunxion Annual Report for the accounting year 2022-23. It covers the 12-months period from 1
July 2022 to 30 June 2023. While the past accounting year 2021-22 covered a similar 12-months period from 1 July 2021 to 30 June
2022.
The 2022-23 accounting year has been our best year in a long time. It was an eventful year during which the company continued
its metamorphosis and turnaround. The stability of the Management Board, the dedication of the Core Team and the diligent and
passioned execution of all our employees played a substantial role in the achievement of the annual goals. We realised a strong
top line growth for the third accounting year in a row, whilst keeping operating expenses well under control. For the past accounting
year, we achieved very solid results, with all the financial KPI
’
s showing positive numbers including a positive net result. This is
noteworthy, because it was achieved during a period of continuous concerns about the global economy. We operated in an
environment of high energy prices and increased inflation and noted that most of the big tech companies executed significant
reductions in their workforces during this timeframe.
During the past accounting year, the management team has re-enforced and refined the
company’s
strategy. We continued
developing a portfolio of products and services with special emphasis on safety on the road, environmental sustainability and social
utility. The stabilization of our strategy and diligent execution of the tactical plans, paved the way for a successful 2022-23 accounting
year.
GeoJunxion’s
product and services portfolio is built around three key pillars:
•
Location Aware Content
•
Location Intelligence Services
•
Premium Location Aware Content
Location Aware Content
The first pillar encompasses more traditional activities and product lines such as:
•
Digital Maps: proprietary and Open-Source Maps (OSM) with worldwide coverage for use in routing, planning and display.
•
Geo-Location API (Application Programming Interface): including address geocoding and time zones covering Europe and North
America. Typical use cases are in track and trace applications and geo-marketing.
•
Geo Planning API: with time and distance matrices for logistics and resource planning applications. European coverage.
Location Intelligent Services
The second pillar includes our services supporting tailor-made geo-location projects:
•
Search and evaluation of location enabled content, typically to enhance existing maps and/or routing applications.
•
Creating bespoke datasets, including research, sourcing, data creation, normalisation, aggregation and delivery. The typical use
case isenhancing existing maps and/or routing applications.
•
Developing Last Mile Mapping Services (previously identified as Outdoor Venue Plans) - tailor-made, interactive indoor and
outdoor venue maps delivered as a turnkey solution including delivery through map tiler and maintenance. The broad range of
use cases includes sport areas, stadiums, arenas, events, festivals, airports, hospitals, private industrial areas, camping, holiday
parks, museums, theatres and much more.
Premium Location Content
The third pillar includes the High Alert Zones product family focussing on three distinct areas:
•
Safety Alert Zones concentrate on road safety by alerting mobility users (pedestrians, cyclists, car and truck drivers) to areas with
increased risk of accidents. This includes, for example, bridges, tunnels, accident prone areas, school zones, playgrounds, etc.
This important data suite also includes School Streets and School Safety Zones: special geofences which are created to ensure
the safety of children and vulnerable pedestrians around schools and day-care centres.
•
Eco Alert Zones include a best-in-class dataset with worldwide coverage of regulated congestion, emission and restricted traffic
zones. Increasingly, countries and cities are deploying these zones to limit the traffic in city centres, improve air quality,reduce
accidents and elevate quality of life. For example, the German “Ümweltzones,”
Dutch “Milieuzones,”
Italian “Zona
Traffico
Limitato”, etc. The main use case is in routing, planning,
fleet management, navigation and to trigger in-car actions. Coverage is
worldwide, or more precisely, wherever an environmental zone exists. This dataset has been recently enriched with School
Streets (mentioned above also in the Safety Alert Zones) and with Pedestrian Zones.
•
Health Alert Zones, in the recent past containing primarily COVID-19 related information, and that, in the future, is intended to
become the reference point for geofences alerting on air
quality, noise pollution and other health related zones.
We still have a long road ahead of us, to ensure th
e company’s performance is sustainable and repeatable
. We will continue to face
many challenges, but, as a team, we are confident that we are on the right path, and we are fully committed to continue delivering
improved results. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone at GeoJunxion for their dedication, passion, energy and
professionalism. We also want to thank our shareholders for their ongoing support.
