Digital-H GmbH

What Digital-H GmbH does

Digital-H GmbH is a privately held German software company headquartered in Düsseldorf (registered at Amtsgericht Mönchengladbach, HRB 20197) that develops and operates RIDE, a digital ticketing suite purpose-built for the German public transport market (ÖPNV). RIDE is delivered as a B2B platform to public transport operators and provides digital fare-product management, ticket distribution, and rider-facing interfaces (including a Campus Portal), serving more than 1.1 million active users across more than 20 transport companies on a national footprint within Germany.

The company's core technology is a ticketing platform configured for the German tariff landscape, enabling transport operators to digitize fare products that previously relied on paper-based distribution. The business model is enterprise B2B software delivered direct to operators via a consultative sales motion (business inquiry forms and direct email contact), with revenue generated on a recurring subscription/licensing basis; specific pricing tiers and contract values are not publicly disclosed. A complementary 'Digital Green' sustainability initiative channels a portion of company proceeds into verified climate and biodiversity projects with Plant-for-the-Planet, NABU, Ecologi, and atmosfair fairfuel, which functions as an ESG positioning layer for public-sector procurement rather than a revenue stream.

Digital-H GmbH was founded in 2016, is led by Managing Directors Lukas Höfer and Simon Hansen, and operates with a headcount in the 1–10 range. The company is GDPR-compliant (DSGVO) and holds no disclosed external funding, parent company, or M&A activity, suggesting independent bootstrapped operation alongside a focused niche-product strategy in a regulated domestic vertical.
