Company profile
researched Aug 2026TJLABS (티제이랩스) is a Seoul-based AI data company that collects and analyzes movement data in physical spaces and converts it into digital, machine-readable intelligence. Its work spans two main solution families: app-based indoor/outdoor positioning for navigation, monitoring and control of people and vehicles, and an app-less, camera-free data collection layer that analyzes Bluetooth (BLE) signals emitted by ordinary smartphones and smart tags to build high-resolution traffic and movement datasets without personally identifying individuals.
The company markets an all-in-one spatial AI platform branded Olympus, positioned around simple installation, de-identification of collected data and rapid scalability across sites. Its service lines are described as app-based location-based services (for example indoor navigation in underground parking lots and large facilities), app-less flow analytics for crowd and traffic measurement, real-time monitoring and tracking of people, vehicles, robots and assets in industrial and construction settings, and a Spatial AI layer that treats spatial data as a language model to predict flows and behavior patterns.
A second product line, Flow, is a high-resolution macro traffic data platform for commercial districts. It combines street-level pedestrian movement data — from individual alleys up to entire districts such as Myeongdong — with AI to report and forecast movement across roughly 30 major commercial districts in Seoul and about 100 nationwide, delivered as a SaaS platform.
Business model
TJLABS sells spatial data and positioning solutions to enterprises and public operators, and provides its solutions to mobility service companies as SaaS. The Flow traffic-data platform is described as a SaaS-based "traffic data + spatial AI" service.
Solution deployment and data services for enterprise and public-sector sites, plus SaaS delivery of positioning and traffic-data platforms to mobility service providers and other data consumers.
Traction
Reference projects listed on the company site cover Kakao Mobility (location intelligence), SK ecoplant and Hyundai AutoEver (smart operations), Incheon International Airport and SOLUM (behavioral and flow analytics), and PINPT/PinPoint (spatial AI and insights). Its positioning technology runs commercially inside Kakao Navi at the COEX underground parking lot, and its movement-analytics solution has been applied at the SK hynix semiconductor cluster construction site, LG Science Park and Itaewon. Reported 2022 revenue was KRW 2.01 billion.
Latest developments
In 2025 a joint project with retail technology firm SOLUM on app-less retail data technology won the grand prize in the demand-based track of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' public-private open innovation support program. The company also published news on the establishment of a joint-growth cooperation framework between Incheon International Airport Corporation and six new-technology testbed participants, selection under SK ecoplant's 'Win-Win Honors' cooperation program, and a KAIST program supporting 84 beyond-frontier startups with 33 newly selected for 2026.

Market position
Positioned in Korea's location-based services and spatial data analytics segment, with reference deployments across mobility, construction, industrial and airport environments and recognition from public-sector programs including a 2024 Korea LBS Day startup award and a 2025 grand prize in the Ministry of SMEs and Startups open innovation program for work with SOLUM.
Movement data is captured from ambient Bluetooth signals rather than apps or cameras, which the company frames as avoiding privacy exposure while allowing coverage from narrow alleys to entire districts, fast installation and low collection cost compared with legacy approaches constrained by privacy, cost and expansion limits.
Technology
Three integrated technologies: app-based positioning for precise indoor navigation and guidance; app-less, camera-free traffic analytics that collect and visualize real-time traffic, congestion and movement data from BLE signals emitted by smartphones and smart tags; and a Spatial AI layer that learns and interprets spatial data as a language model to predict flow and behavior patterns. The company states its Flow data collection requires no app installation, no cameras and raises no personal-data issues, and that installation at a site such as Itaewon takes under an hour at low data-collection cost.
Go-to-market
The company works through partnerships and joint projects with large corporates and public institutions — including embedding its positioning technology inside Kakao Navi, expanding commercial parking coverage with Kakao Mobility and apartment parking with Aptner, joint retail-data work with SOLUM, and participation in the Incheon International Airport new-technology testbed. It also participates in accelerator and government open-innovation programs and demo days.
Mobility and navigation service providers, parking and apartment operators, construction and industrial site operators, retail and franchise site-selection and real-estate valuation users, airports, and public safety/urban management bodies.
Geography
Headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, with deployments at Korean sites including COEX, Itaewon, LG Science Park, an SK hynix semiconductor cluster construction site and Incheon International Airport; Flow coverage targets roughly 30 Seoul commercial districts and about 100 nationwide.
