Bestmile was a Swiss fleet-orchestration SaaS company, spun out of EPFL in Lausanne in 2014, whose cloud platform planned, dispatched and optimized mixed fleets of autonomous and human-driven vehicles for on-demand mobility and transit operators. The platform was described by the company as API-first, with documented Fleet, Booking and Transportation APIs for integrating operator booking apps, fleet-management systems and traveler-information systems. The company no longer operates: ZF Friedrichshafen acquired Bestmile's technology in November 2021 and folded it into its own SCALAR fleet-orchestration platform, so any successor API belongs to ZF rather than to Bestmile. As of 2026-08-17 bestmile.com is a parked Gandi.net registrar domain that refuses HTTPS, and no developer portal, documentation, OpenAPI, package or /.well-known surface survives. Surfaced originally as a Partech portfolio company.
Bestmile is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Applicative Saas, Mobility, Fleet Orchestration, and Autonomous Vehicles.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/bestmile: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

HTTP 200) and relaunched as ZF SCALAR. Bestmile ships nothing of its own; the successor surface is ZF's and is not credited
here.

detail: bestmile.com refuses HTTPS entirely and its HTTP/80 root serves a Gandi.net registrar parking page; api., docs.,
developer., platform. and app.bestmile.com are NXDOMAIN, and the surviving github.com/Bestmile org holds only forks of
third-party OSS (secor, alpakka, chimney, squants) with no spec or SDK, because ZF Friedrichshafen absorbed the technology
into SCALAR in November 2021.
