Urban Connect

This is the guiding principle of Urban Connect – a start-up that makes it easier for the employees of large businesses to travel to work using fleets of smart E-bikes, E-cars, and E-scooters.

A technical innovation with high user participation lies at the heart of this app: the smartphone transforms into an E-vehicle booking system with a built-in key. This ‘no-key’ technology innovation is based on an IoT (Internet of Things) smart lock device. This system revolutionises the use of E-vehicles. This is because, as a Google employee has said, ‘a Tesla key for bikes’ has been developed. A further core function of the app is its simple booking and reporting system, which conserves resources for customers of Urban Connect and simultaneously helps achieve sustainability goals. In addition, the app’s user experience impresses with its colours, designs and simplicity.

User first is our approach, whatever we do. IoT can be a bigger challenge than developing a custom website or platform. There is a lock and an app and all works digital. For the behind the scenes knowledge in IoT and app development we had to ideate first.

Be fully involved from the start, and working in an entrepreneurship spirit is what we love. And we care about sustainability - a lot. So does Urban Connect who designed a new business model in B2B and changed the way to commute. The digital solution to support this sustainable way of commuting needed the perfect user journey and a robust solution in no time.
