We have gathered below the questions that we are regularly asked, especially during the first contacts with our customers and partners. If you have a question that is not listed, contact us by clicking here, we would be happy to answer it.
It is directly the operators and / or the communities that give us access to their data, after the signature of the estimate. We do not purchase data from third parties.
We aggregate the data accessible in the public transport sector: the repository (GTFS, NetEx, etc.), Operating System (Operations Assistance System) data, ticketing data, data from counting cells.
It all depends on the level of reliability on your network, because no network has perfect data. A project has never been delayed because of this problem. Our scientific data teams intervene at the start of the project to make the data reliable. Our solutions also have automatic reliability algorithms, because by crossing several data sources, it is possible to improve their reliability.
The only prerequisites are to have data (ticketing, operating systems, counting cells, etc.) and to be able to export it. Our solutions work with all systems and we have already worked with almost all those on the market from our current customers.
We started by integrating all the data related to public transport.
Our prices include an implementation phase, then a license fee which is calculated mainly on the number of vehicles in the network. We do not have catalog prices for our solutions, the price depends on several network parameters.

A project manager must be appointed by the network and he will have to attend meetings every 1-2 weeks during the duration of the project (between 1 and 3 months). Technical teams can be called upon mainly at the start of the project and between 1 and 5 days in total over the entire duration of the project.
We estimate the time to set up the project at around 2 months, once the estimate has been signed. This period may be shorter depending on the customer’s responsiveness (3 weeks to integrate the data).
