What Nemi does
Nemi (legal entity: NEMI MOBILITY SOLUTIONS SL) is a Barcelona-based private software company that provides a Demand-Responsive Transport (DRT) platform to digitize and optimize public transport networks, primarily for local authorities and public transport operators across Europe. Founded around 2018–2020 with a team of roughly 20+, Nemi operates in Spain, Italy, Portugal, the UK, Greece, and Slovenia, serving 60+ on-demand and digitized scheduled services and 130,000+ passengers annually.
The core product is the NEMI DRT Platform, a full-stack solution comprising six integrated modules: a User App for booking and real-time tracking, a WhatsApp Bot for accessibility-friendly interaction, a Driver App for routing and dispatch, a Back Office for operators, an analytics Dashboard, and the NEMIFY digital twin simulator for pre-deployment demand modeling. The platform supports three service types: fully On-Demand Transport, Digital Scheduled Services (with automated GTFS generation for Google/Apple Maps/Moovit), and Flexible Fixed Bus Lines that hybridize fixed routes with on-demand stops. Quantified outcomes cited by Nemi include up to 60% reduction in route mileage and passenger growth in Segarra from 4,360 (2016) to 25,068 (2023).
Nemi sells its platform via direct B2B sales on an annual SaaS subscription basis to municipalities, metropolitan transport authorities, and bus/taxi operators, with mobility consulting delivered in partnership with Factual Consulting. The company co-develops technology through EU-funded R&D projects (JULIA, REALLOCATE, PERTE, NEMIFY) with EUSPA, the European Commission, ICEX/ERDF, and SEDIA. Nemi received the first prize at the 2024 IT Trans Future Mobility Awards and runs 7 electric bus on-demand services, indicating extension into zero-emission fleet operations.

Nemi competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Optibus: AI-powered public transportation operations platform for fixed-route and on-demand scheduling, serving transit agencies globally. Overlaps with Nemi in service optimization, scheduling, and back-office tooling for public transport operators.
- Shotl: Spanish-headquartered DRT platform (originally Barcelona-based) that operates demand-responsive transit services in partnership with European transport authorities. Highly comparable on geography, customer base (Spanish/European municipalities), and service model.
- Spare: Vancouver-based microtransit/DRT SaaS platform serving transit agencies and paratransit operators in North America and Europe. Directly comparable business model — subscription SaaS to public authorities for on-demand transit booking, dispatch, and back-office tools.
- Padam Mobility: Paris-based SaaS provider of DRT and microtransit platforms sold to public transport authorities and operators across Europe. Closest direct competitor to Nemi in European rural and peri-urban DRT software, with comparable target customers and similar SaaS GTM.
- Fluidtime: Austrian provider of DRT and mobility platform software for cities, transport operators, and municipalities in the DACH and wider European markets. Comparable B2B SaaS GTM targeting European public-sector transport procurement.
Emerging players
- Zeelo: UK-based shared transport platform providing DRT software and operations for commuters, schools, and rural routes in the UK and Europe. Comparable SaaS-plus-services model and geographic overlap with Nemi's UK deployments (e.g., FACT Community Transport).
Broad incumbents
- Moovit: Israeli mobility-as-a-service platform with deep public-sector relationships (transit agencies, municipalities) and integrations via GTFS. Competes in adjacent territory through GTFS-based fixed-line digitization, a service Nemi offers through its Digital Scheduled Services module.
- Via Transportation: Well-capitalized global leader in DRT/microtransit software serving transit agencies, cities, and corporate clients across multiple continents. Operates a broader portfolio at significantly greater scale; competes in the same procurement processes for municipal DRT contracts.
- Trapeze Group (Modaxo): Global incumbent provider of public-transport software (fixed-route scheduling, CAD/AVL, passenger information) under the Modaxo umbrella. Overlaps with Nemi in digitizing public transport networks and competing in the same agency procurement processes.
- Conduent Transportation: Large-scale North American incumbent offering transit technology solutions including DRT/paratransit management software. Less of a direct competitor in rural European DRT but participates in adjacent fixed-line and paratransit procurement.
