The positive outlook & cashflow for near map australia

nearmap (ASX: NEA) has generated positive cashflow earlier than anticipated, with growth largely driven by a strong response to the company’s new subscription based service.. In late November the company announced the establishment of a paywall on the nearmap.com website to enable better monetisation of its web based PhotoMap content. nearmap’s diverse fleet of planes routinely fly and capture the most recent aerial images. This means you have access to the latest, up-to-date aerial photo imagery available. nearmap is used by thousands of companies, large and small, in a wide range of industries.

Acquired by intellectual property firm Ipernica, the Nearmap product is now core business for the firm who has divested their IP interests and renamed the company to Nearmap.  Originally a free service, at the end of December Nearmap has switched to a paywall, and turned cashflow positive within a month.
