Paris-based Vianova, a collaborative mobility data platform, announced that it has secured €6M in a Series A round of funding led by Baloise.
Other investors in the round include La Poste Ventures, operated by XAnge, RATP Capital Innovation, Ponooc, and Contrarian Ventures.
Vianova says it will use the funds to grow its team, accelerate global expansion, and further develop its mobility data platform.
Founded in 2019 by Thibault Castagne, Thibaud Febvre, and Frédéric Robinet, Vianova aims to provide public authorities and private organizations with the tools and data to solve the most complex mobility challenges.
The French company uses cloud-based mobility analytics software to leverage IoT (Internet of Things) and data from 1M+ connected vehicles daily to provide stakeholders with the most advanced geo-intelligence.
Consequently, fleet managers, policymakers, urban planners, data scientists, underwriters, and more can use this data to gain insights and analytics on their services via customizable dashboards, and also through shared, collaborative insights via Vianova’s Data Exchange.
Vianova says it has created 120 new geofenced slow-speed, no-go, and incentivized parking hubs for riders in Brussels.
As a result, the infrastructure reduced pavement clutter and street patrols by 30 percent.
Vianova claims that mobility operators use its insights to position their fleets in the right areas at the right time, capture demand, and increase use.
Also, the platform helps understand fleet usage better, enabling mobility operators to anticipate fleet rebalancing and battery swaps.
