What Netlift does

Netlift is a Montreal-based corporate mobility platform that combines dynamic carpooling, taxi coordination, and delivery route optimization into a single integrated system. Founded in 2012, the company operates both a consumer-facing mobile application (iOS and Android) for individual commuters, drivers, and passengers, and a centralized web-based platform that enterprise clients use to manage employee transportation, parking, and logistics operations. Its core technology comprises proprietary carpool-matching algorithms, a route optimization engine for last-mile delivery, and a dynamic arbitration mechanism that combines carpool rides with licensed taxi services through a single interface; the platform is integrated with third-party taxi dispatch (iCabbi), payment (Fraxion), and healthcare transport-request (Octopus) systems. Underlying infrastructure includes patent-pending smart-parking management technology filed with the USPTO.

Netlift generates revenue through a mix of recurring corporate subscriptions, transaction fees on carpool and taxi rides, and managed mobility services for healthcare clients. Enterprise and hospital clients pay annual license fees that vary by employee count, site count, and parking requirements, while individual transactions are processed pay-as-you-go through an in-app e-wallet with driver reimbursement capped at the CAD $0.54/km rate set by Quebec regulation. Its primary customer segments are hospitals and healthcare networks (CIUSSS, CISSS, and institutions such as the Institut de Cardiologie de Montréal, Institut universitaire de cardiologie et de pneumologie de Québec, and CIUSSS CCSMTL) and corporate enterprises such as CAE and Fruit d'Or, with secondary penetration into local retailers (Boutique Eric Dulat, Sun Youth) and public-sector mobility initiatives.

Following a January 2021 restructuring, Netlift repositioned itself from a consumer carpooling application to a B2B corporate mobility platform targeting enterprise and hospital buyers. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with a strategic partnership with Taxelco — Quebec's largest taxi intermediary — which provides access to 1,800+ vehicles representing the majority of provincial taxi supply. Netlift is privately held, headquartered in Montreal (2901 Rachel E., H1W 4A4), and operates primarily in Quebec with a signaled interest in France. Marc-Antoine Ducas serves as President.

Revenue model

1. Carpooling Service Fees: Netlift charges a service fee to passengers for carpool rides. The fee is calculated based on ride distance, duration, estimated traffic delays, special Netlift rates for group members, and parking density at destination. Drivers receive compensation for gas and parking expenses while Netlift retains a portion as transaction fee.
2. Taxi Transportation Fees: For taxi rides, Netlift facilitates bookings between passengers and licensed taxi drivers. Fees are based on taxi fares established by governing taxi transport authority for predetermined routes, group rates, and time of booking. Netlift coordinates payments through the application.
3. Corporate Platform Subscriptions: Annual subscription licenses for corporate clients (enterprises and hospitals) to access the web platform and provide mobility solutions to employees. Pricing varies based on company size (number of employees, number of sites) and whether parking access control is included. Customer service package included.
4. Transportation Operations Management: Netlift provides turnkey mobility solutions for healthcare institutions including patient transport, employee commute, and equipment delivery. Revenue derived from platform fees and operational coordination services.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Lyft Business: Lyft Business provides corporate ride-hailing, commuter benefits, and healthcare transport programs. It overlaps Netlift on enterprise mobility and healthcare NEMT, but at vastly larger scale and as part of a broader consumer ride-hailing business.
• Uber (Uber for Business / Commute): Uber operates Uber for Business and previously Uber Commute, offering enterprise ride-hailing, ground transport, and corporate billing. It is a much broader incumbent overlapping Netlift on taxi aggregation and corporate mobility, but as part of a much wider consumer ride-hailing portfolio.

Direct peers

• Karhoo: Karhoo is a global mobility-as-a-service aggregation platform connecting corporate clients with licensed taxi and private hire fleets. Operates with similar business model to Netlift's taxi brokerage and corporate mobility subscription revenue streams.
• RideCo: RideCo is a Canadian on-demand transit and microtransit platform serving transit agencies and cities. Comparable to Netlift in its Canadian roots, dynamic routing/dispatch, and use of mobile apps to match riders to shared vehicles.
• RideAmigos: RideAmigos is a commuter management and mobility platform that helps employers deploy carpooling, transit, and active commuting programs. Directly comparable to Netlift's corporate mobility offering, including incentive design and reporting.
• BlaBlaCar: BlaBlaCar is a leading long-distance carpooling marketplace connecting drivers with empty seats to passengers traveling similar routes. Same core carpool-matching logic as Netlift, though focused on intercity rather than commuter routes.

Emerging players

• TransLoc (Modaxo): TransLoc provides microtransit, fixed-route, and on-demand transit software for agencies and universities. Like Netlift, it emphasizes optimized routing and dispatch for shared passenger transport, though typically agency-rather than enterprise-channeled.
• HopSkipDrive: HopSkipDrive operates a managed ride platform for youth, school, and healthcare transport with vetted drivers. Overlaps Netlift on healthcare transport use cases and on combining tech with managed-service operations for institutions.
• Spare: Spare provides a microtransit and paratransit platform for transit agencies, with matching and routing engines for on-demand shared rides. Directly comparable to Netlift on dynamic ride matching and healthcare/agency transport use cases.

Others

• iCabbi: iCabbi is a taxi dispatch and fleet management platform integrated with Netlift's corporate system. Adjacent technology provider rather than direct competitor, but operates in the same taxi-aggregation tech stack Netlift relies on.
