Velociti Group

What Velociti Group does

Velociti Group, trading as Velociti Solutions (legal entity Velociti Solutions Limited, incorporated in England and Wales), is a UK-headquartered vertical software company that builds digital operations and management software for the public transport sector. The company was formed in 2019 and is based in Sheffield, with a secondary operating presence in Ireland and a claimed reach across three continents. Its flagship products are the Omnibus Software Suite, a modular bus operator platform spanning timetabling, scheduling, mapping, crew duties, rostering, control room (Control360), depot allocation, driver app (Engage), accident and incident management, customer services, route performance analysis, and concessionary/ETM analytics; and the RailSmart Platform, covering customer information systems, people and safety (including competency management via RailSmart EDS and safety critical communication), and operations (employee rostering, incident and fleet management via RailSmart IFM, remote condition monitoring). Sub-brands include Skills Bureau, which delivers training and scheduling consultancy, and the Insights analytics layer for operational decision support.

The company operates a modular SaaS subscription model with annual billing, supplemented by specialist consultancy services such as BSOG certification, concessionary reimbursement, multi-operator ticketing auditing, and scheduling consultancy. Go-to-market is a consultative direct enterprise sales motion, channelled through a website Request Demo flow and an annual ConnectTransport user group event, targeting transport authorities, bus operators, and rail passenger, freight, light rail, and supply chain customers. The customer base spans large UK enterprises (Stagecoach, First Bus, Arriva, National Express, Transdev, Go Ahead, LNER, Gatwick Express, Chiltern Railways, Merseyrail, South Eastern, GB Railfreight, Freightliner) as well as government clients (Transport for Wales, HS2, West Midlands Combined Authority, Transport for Greater Manchester) and rail manufacturers (ALSTOM, Stadler Rail). The company is privately held, has received two disclosed funding rounds from private equity sponsor Literacy Capital (2020 and 2025), and employs 51-100 people.

In November 2024 Velociti integrated three legacy brands (EPM, Omnibus, and 3Squared) into a single Velociti Solutions identity to consolidate its bus, rail, and transport authority offerings. The integration widened the combined platform surface but did not change the underlying business model, which remains a mix of recurring SaaS revenue and project-based consultancy tied to UK and European public transport procurement cycles.

Direct peers

• GIRO (Hastus): Canadian vendor of Hastus scheduling and operations software widely deployed by transit agencies in the UK and Europe. Directly competes with Velociti's Omnibus scheduling, rostering, and crew duties modules.
• Clever Devices: US-headquartered provider of intelligent transportation systems for bus and rail fleets — CAD/AVL, passenger information, fleet management. Comparable product breadth to Omnibus with similar operator-segment focus, but predominantly North American.
• Optibus: AI-native platform for public transport scheduling, rostering, and operations optimisation targeting bus operators and transport authorities. Competes directly with Velociti's Omnibus planning/scheduling modules, particularly with digitally transforming authorities.
• IVU Traffic Technologies: German-headquartered supplier of integrated IT systems for public transport (planning, dispatch, ticketing, passenger info) serving 600+ operators in Europe. Direct competitor to both Omnibus (bus) and RailSmart (rail/operations) offerings.
• Trapeze Group (Modaxo): Trapeze (now part of Modaxo/Volvo Group's mobility software portfolio) provides transit scheduling, planning, and operations software to bus and rail operators globally. Directly comparable to Velociti's Omnibus and RailSmart suites across the same UK/EMEA customer base.

Emerging players

• Bytemark: Mobile ticketing and payments platform for transit operators, including Transport for Wales. Overlaps with Velociti's multi-operator ticketing and customer-facing modules as a more focused, emerging competitor.
• SAGlobal: Microsoft Dynamics-based partner delivering enterprise asset and operations solutions to rail operators including freight and passenger segments. Adjacent competitor in the rail operations software category Velociti's RailSmart addresses.

Regional players

• Vix Technology: Specialist in transit fare collection, ticketing, and passenger information systems with strong UK and Asia-Pacific operator presence. Comparable to Velociti's multi-operator ticketing and customer information capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Cubic Transportation Systems: Large incumbent delivering fare collection, real-time passenger information, and traffic management to transit agencies globally. Overlaps with Velociti's customer information suite and transport-authority focus, but as a much broader portfolio player.
• HaCon (Siemens Mobility): Siemens-owned supplier of timetable planning, journey planning, and mobility software (HAFAS, TPS) used by major European rail operators including DB. Direct overlap with RailSmart customer information and operations suites.
