Tranzer joins growing TrustBuilder.io marketplace

Ghent/Amersfoort, November 23, 2021 – IAM vendor TrustBuilder and mobility provider Tranzer have formed a strategic partnership. Companies using the TrustBuilder Service Catalog can now seamlessly connect to Tranzer to offer their customers a broad choice of mobility solutions. Adding Tranzer as a service provider is an important step for TrustBuilder in building out its marketplace strategy.

Tranzer is a ticketing aggregator, making it possible to plan, book and pay for mobility in any consumer app. Via one key, Tranzer offers public transport, shared cars, scooters, micro-mobility and parking. Tranzer aims at making mobility easy, enabling the best option for both the traveler and the planet. Tranzer’s functionality can be used in the consumer apps of travel operators, banks, Mobility-as-a-Service providers, hospitality platforms, fuel and mobility cards, etc. Organizations that use APIs to integrate Tranzer into their app, can offer their customers more service and a better experience.

TrustBuilder goes beyond traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) by making it as easy as possible for companies to integrate applications and Identity Providers (IdPs) into their applications architecture. By using TrustBuilder.io and its Service Catalog, organizations can deploy applications and IdPs in a secure, fast and reliable way. New applications are activated with an easy-to-use wizard. Acting as an ‘ecosystem-as-a-service’, the Service Catalog saves organizations both time and effort and allows them to bring new applications to the market before their competitors do.

“Using TrustBuilder.io to integrate third-party applications makes life easy on organizations that are building an ecosystem of services”, says TrustBuilder CEO Frank Hamerlinck. “They don’t need to set up point-to-point connectivity to each individual application, TrustBuilder takes care of that. We are thrilled that Tranzer now joins our marketplace, as mobility services are a key part of the ecosystems that our customers in HR Services and retail banking are developing.”

“Our partnership with TrustBuilder will broaden Tranzer’s reach in Belgium and other European countries”, says Paul Rooijmans, co-founder of Tranzer. “We are glad that we can extend the ease-of-use mobility that we already offer to consumers and operators to the companies that will integrate our solution into their apps. With the integration by TrustBuilder, we can focus on adding more European operators to the Tranzer platform.”

TrustBuilder customers can already add Tranzer to their apps. TrustBuilder is continually adding extra services to its Service Catalog. Thanks to a recent grant from the Flanders Innovation and Entrepreneurship Agency (VLAIO), TrustBuilder can speed up the further development of its marketplace of services.

ParkBee

ParkBee en Tranzer zetten in strategische samenwerking bepalende stap in Mobility-as-a-Service.

  •   Integraal reis- en parkeeradvies inclusief boeken en betalen binnen één platform
  •   Partnerschap maakt van meer dan 200 parkeerlocaties van ParkBee een mobiliteitsknooppunt
  •   Samenwerking sluit duizenden reizigers direct aan op ParkBee netwerk met meer dan 200 parkeerlocaties in grote steden

Amsterdam, 26 januari 2021 – Digital car park operator ParkBee kondigt vandaag een strategische samenwerking aan met Tranzer. Tranzer is het grootste digitale platform voor mobiliteitsdiensten en tickets voor nationaal en internationaal openbaar vervoer en deelmobiliteit. De samenwerking tussen ParkBee en Tranzer maakt parkeren integraal onderdeel van slim, flexibel reizen zonder zorgen en van deur-tot-deur.

ParkBee kan door de samenwerking met Tranzer dagelijks vele duizenden reizigers meer naar bestaande maar vaak nog onderbenutte parkeerlocaties in steden leiden. De combinatie van het bereik van Tranzer met het uitgebreide netwerk van ruim 200 ParkBee parkeerlocaties in steden, geeft een belangrijke impuls aan de missie van ParkBee om auto’s uit het straatbeeld te halen en hen tegen de beste prijs de beste parkeermogelijkheid te bieden.

In economisch en maatschappelijke zin betekent de toevoeging van parkeren een belangrijke stap in de verdere ontwikkeling van Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) dat zich richt op een positief effect op de leefomgeving, het milieu en het bereikbaar houden van steden. Het laagdrempelig en via mobiele apps toegankelijk maken van parkeren geeft reizigers immers nog meer flexibiliteit en keuzevrijheid.

Parkeerlocatie als mobiliteitsknooppunt

ParkBee ontwikkelt slimme technologie om parkeerlocaties te beheren en het gebruik ervan te optimaliseren wat leidt tot hogere bezettingsgraden in parkeerfaciliteiten en dus substantieel hogere rendementen voor eigenaren van parkeervastgoed. Dit krijgt met de samenwerking tussen ParkBee en Tranzer een belangrijk impuls omdat hierdoor duizenden reizigers direct worden aangesloten op het ParkBee netwerk met meer dan 200 parkeerlocaties. Ook opent het de weg voor vastgoedeigenaren om van hun parkeerlocatie bij woningen, winkels of kantoren, een mobiliteitshub te maken. Reizigers kunnen immers met de zoek-, vergelijk-, boek- en betaalfaciliteiten van Tranzer eenvoudig hun reis plannen inclusief parkeren als belangrijk aspect van de totale mobiliteitsbehoefte.

Het Tranzer-platform levert haar diensten aan de meest gebruikte apps en platformen voor OV, deelmobiliteit, elektrisch laden en parkeren en ontzorgt reizigers ongeacht het type vervoer. Het platform bundelt alle beschikbare data en systemen voor reizen ongeacht de modaliteit. Reizigers kunnen hun reis van deur-tot-deur plannen en kiezen voor de mogelijkheden die het best passen bij hun persoonlijke situatie op dat moment. Hierbij kunnen zij ook alternatieven beoordelen en inzicht krijgen in de CO2-impact van de verschillende reismogelijkheden. De parkeerlocaties van ParkBee zijn vanaf medio februari 2021 operationeel voor gebruikers van Tranzer.

ParkBee optimaliseert de bezetting van parkeerlocaties met behulp van data en slimme technologie voor reserveringen, dynamische prijsstelling en betalingen door de directe integratie in grote parkeer- en mobiliteitsplatformen van onder andere Parkmobile, Yellowbrick, ANWB en nu ook Tranzer.
