A revolution in traffic -- giving travellers, road operators, logistics companies, and OEMs control over their mobility through connected vehicle data and smart mobility platforms.
Be-Mobile is a Belgian mobility-technology business founded by Jan Cools in 2006 and headquartered in Merelbeke-Melle. It develops platforms for traffic monitoring and management, connected-road safety, traveller information, logistics, mobility rights and GNSS-based electronic tolling. Its tolling software performs functions including map matching, trip reconstruction, tariff application and toll calculation for road operators and European Electronic Toll Service providers. The group retains Flitsmeister, a driver-information community reporting more than 3 million active users, and operates government-facing traffic, tolling and parking-rights platforms. Its other current activities include the Be-Warned connected road-safety platform, logistics services, connected-vehicle and C-ITS applications, and real-time traffic information for automotive and media customers. In April 2026, Be-Mobile announced the acquisition of SocialDrive, a community-based Spanish traffic and road-safety app. The 4411 parking and mobility-payment service is no longer part of Be-Mobile, having transferred to Arrive in the 2025 demerger. Proximus acquired a majority interest in Be-Mobile in 2016. In 2025 it agreed to sell its 92.7% holding to Arrive at a stated enterprise value of EUR 170 million. The subsequent demerger transferred 4411 to Arrive, while founder Jan Cools and members of management took ownership and control of Flitsmeister and Be-Mobile's remaining traffic, tolling and mobility-rights activities. Those continuing activities now operate through Belgian enterprise number 1028.061.527; the former Be-Mobile entity, number 0881.959.533, is now Arrive Belgium.

Be-Mobile supplies GNSS-based software used in European distance-based road charging. It states that its map-matching, route-reconstruction and pricing technology has supported EETS provider Axxès in Belgium's Viapass heavy-vehicle kilometre charge since 2016. Be-Mobile also delivered the tolling engine for Denmark's kilometre- and CO2-differentiated truck charge, launched on 1 January 2025. In 2026, Be-Mobile stated that its Toll Control Center supported Axxès for the Dutch distance-based truck charge launched on 1 July. No evidence was found of a contract, procurement role or formal policy participation in New Zealand's RUC system. Its European work is nevertheless relevant comparative evidence for GNSS-based charging and outsourced service-provider models.
