## About

Based in Porto, Portugal, and founded in 2018 by CEO Paulo Ferreira dos Santos, Ubirder S.A. offers an end-to-end digital solution tailored for transport and mobility agencies to enhance daily operational, commercial, and financial activities. In March 2024, Ubirder S.A. raised USD 1.95 million in seed funding, co-led by investors Iberis Capital, Cedrus Capital, and Grupo Barraqueiro.

The company offers a Ubirider platform that enables agencies to manage ticketing and sales channels effectively, including physical and digital sales outlets, webshops, and onboard systems, through an account-based ticketing system and real-time messaging capabilities. Ubirider emphasises user-friendly interfaces to boost staff satisfaction and productivity while also facilitating fare collection and payment methods, including contactless, digital, and cash payments, as well as QR code and NFC validation. The platform empowers agencies with autonomy in managing core activities related to network and operations, ticketing and invoicing, customer insights, analytics, payments, and marketing. For travellers, the firm offers the PICK app, which serves as a personal travel assistant. With PICK, users can plan door-to-door multimodal trips, purchase tickets conveniently, and receive real-time guidance throughout their journey. The app also facilitates sharing arrival times with friends and family, encourages crowdsourcing feedback for improved services, and allows for easy management of payment profiles. The software offers intuitive dashboards that furnish data on various aspects such as service operations, validations, estimated time of arrival (ETA) at each stop, and average service speed.
 
The company plans to use the March 2024 funding to grow the company internationally and expand the product development and marketing teams to bring open mobility and banking through contactless payment solutions.
