"SmartMaps impressed us primarily with its GDPR compliance, which is a high priority for us; an unbeatable price-performance ratio; and the truly outstanding technical documentation."
Philipp Klusmeier, Head of eCommerce reifencom GmbH
"From the very beginning, we had the feeling that YellowMap meets our requirements and that we are in good hands. Not least because the company has been specializing in exactly this area for over 20 years and brought corresponding references. The team conveyed to us: The schedule is ambitious, but we can do it. The cooperation is thoroughly professional, very dedicated, and it also fits on a human level. We get quick answers and clear statements. There are firm commitments on both sides. In short: teamwork as you would wish for it!"
Laura Peters, Team Lead Digital Marketing OTTO-CHEMIE
"For all interactive Sparkasse locators within the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, we have been relying on the service of YellowMap AG since 2022. The migration of over 365 regional Sparkasse websites and our central portal sparkasse.de to the GDPR-compliant map platform SmartMaps was easy, and we benefit from cost savings compared to our previous provider. We and our Sparkassen are enthusiastic about the new map solution, which is hosted on German servers."
“Our customers don’t just need detailed data. They need this information to be geographically visualised, instantly accessible, and absolutely reliable — so they can see at a glance what happened at which stage of the transport route. End-to-end hosting in Germany is a fundamental requirement for us and builds trust, especially with the rightly critical IT departments of our customers.”
"In order to comply with the strict GDPR guidelines, we had to look for an alternative mapping solution to Google Maps. With SmartMaps, we found a user-friendly mapping platform that protects the privacy of our customers. The switch was easy and completed with little effort."
"In general, I absolutely loved your customer friendliness (assistance, quick problem solving, incorporating changes) and always having the feeling of having a contact person."
