SkedGo

Headquartered in Sydney, Australia, SkedGo develops a variety of mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) solutions for governments and the private sector. The main ‘off-the-shelf’ product offered by the firm is TripGo, a multi-modal transit planning mobile app that covers a variety of modes of transport including public transport, shared vehicles, and micromobility options. A key feature of the app is it can be integrated with the user’s calendar to provide automatic trip alerts.

The firm provides a number of subscription plans to gain access to the TripGo application program interface (API) and software developer kit (SDK), which are priced on a one-off or on a monthly subscription basis. The firm also provides a free-to-download transport planning app.

A competitive edge of SkedGo is the flexibility of its APIs and SDKs, which allows developers and enterprises to integrate its systems into third-party apps while also offering a number of integrations to extend the capabilities of its platform to include 1) parking information, 2) contactless payment, and 3) calendar integrations for personal and private events. The firm partners with a number of ticketing platforms, transit agencies, and transport providers including Lyft, Uber, and Bikeshare to extend the number of integrations to its platform. Reflecting this, SkedGo was judged the ‘Smart City Platform of the year’ at the Future Digital Awards in 2020.

SkedGo’s operations spans across countries such as Australia, New Zealand, US, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, and Europe (including France, the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and the Scandinavian region).

Key customers and partnerships

The firm has developed white-label solutions for 4,000+ public entities and enterprises. SkedGo’s clients include Nissan, Ticketer, Vy Group, and the University of City. As of January 2022, its B2C mobile app has been installed by ~1 million commuters and is available in more than 200 locations including cities in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.

​​In March 2021, the firm partnered with MOTIONTAG, a mobility analytics service to help measure customer travel behavior in order to further enhance the customer experience by providing personalized travel recommendations and the ability to set personal travel goals.

In July 2021, SkedGo entered the Japanese market via a partnership with AI Base Technology to develop a mobility service platform. In addition, in December 2021, SkedGo secured three contracts to develop MaaS projects in the states of Nevada, Michigan, and Minnesota in the US.
