Rent a bike in 1 sec.

Digitalize bike rental process. 

Context 

Since June 2015 in Bordeaux (France), VCUB subscribers can borrow a bike easily and faster than ever with their NFC smartphone. 

Bike renting process can last many minutes for new users and even for members. With only one withdrawal terminal, a queue can appear quickly, and deals might be lost. 

During maintenance operations, all the bikes belonging to the terminal were blocked and therefore impossible to borrow. 

“They have a great capacity to assimilate our needs and to be a source of proposal”
See the testimonial of Erhan KAHRAMAN, System Manager Cykleo (Keolis Group)
