IT research and advisory company 2177 Gartner has recognised Australian Mobility-as-a-Service (8356 MaaS) technology company SkedGo as a Cool Vendor 2017 in its Smart City Applications and Solutions category for its MaaS API.


SkedGo’s TripGo API provides a mixed and multi-modal algorithm, allowing end-users to combine any type of private, public and on-demand transport service. In addition, bookings and payments are now possible, since mobile ticketing launched in Finland in April 2017.

In its report, Gartner states, “As a service business models have emerged with a focus on delivering smart city value, instead of technology hardware ‘speeds and feeds.’ Companies like SkedGo that provide ‘transportation as a service’ are leading the way in service-based offerings.”

It continued, “SkedGo (...) will be of interest to automotive OEMs, mobility innovators, mobility-as-a-service operators and smart city transportation agencies looking at how to create a seamless transportation solution for their constituents.”
