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.
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.
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.

x-lifecycle-note: Technology acquired by ZF Friedrichshafen AG in November 2021 (https://press.zf.com/press/en/releases/release_32320.html,
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.
