Open Vantage Expands to the Netherlands to Grow its Tech Innovation
South Africa based company makes AI powered solutions for smarter industries, logistics and cities
The South Africa based tech company Open Vantage recently expanded to the Netherlands to accelerate its innovation. Open Vantage is the software engineering team behind Arcaidea, a computer vision platform leveraging AI, automation and systems optimization. It makes custom software that turns cameras into actionable tools to track, manage, and automate how people, vehicles, and assets move through the world.
Open Vantage has located in Best in the South of the Netherlands. The Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA) assisted the company’s expansion.
By establishing itself in the Dutch tech ecosystem, the company can connect with Europe’s most wired country. The Netherlands, with its innovation-focused economy, skilled workforce, and strong investment in AI, presents a natural entry point. Arcaidea’s cutting-edge computer vision platform aligns with the country’s strategic goals for responsible AI in logistics, security, and smart infrastructure.

They are specialized in full-cycle software design, development, and quality assurance for supply chain and logistics, manufacturing, security and access control, and property and private space management. For instance, Open Vantage has developed software to optimize waste collection, to automate warehouse operations and to access control systems to manage hundreds of thousands to vehicles through complex environments.
Backed by Open Vantage’s experience in delivering real-world automation for councils, warehouses, and high-volume transport hubs, Arcaidea is ready to offer European clients the tools, flexibility, and partnership approach needed to unlock real operational efficiency.
