What Prodata Mobility Brasil does

Prodata Mobility Brasil S/A is a privately held Brazilian mobility-technology company founded in 1991, headquartered on Avenida Paulista in São Paulo, that designs, manufactures and operates an integrated electronic fare-collection platform for public transit. The company supplies proprietary hardware — onboard validators (Validador de Bloqueio, Validador Metrô, ABT 3500 with 5G), top-up validators, ATM Prodata self-service terminals, driver identification modules (Teclado DMT), onboard CFTV, facial biometrics and Wi-Fi Embarcado — manufactured at its Hortolândia plant, now in its 13th equipment generation with more than 135,000 units deployed.

The software layer comprises the Pagamentos module (EMV contactless, dynamic/static QR, Google Pay, Apple Pay, acquirer integrations), the Procloud digital-channel platform, a Backoffice/Clearing engine for multi-operator fare settlement, and an Identidade e Segurança module with cryptographic ticket-credit issuance. Prodata monetises across four streams: hardware sales and maintenance, software/cloud subscriptions, professional implementation services, and transaction-based clearing fees. Distribution is direct-to-government (municipal and state transport authorities) plus direct-to-operator enterprise sales, with quotes configured through the Monte sua Frota tool.

Prodata reports roughly 70% share of the Brazilian electronic-ticketing market, presence in 12 state capitals, deployments in 300+ municipalities and operations across 15+ countries including Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Denmark (RKRP), the Netherlands, Romania, Germany, Belgium, Finland, Spain, the USA, Mexico, Ghana, Tanzania and Russia. The 2026 acquisition of MaisMobi extends the platform into digital passenger-mobility, and recent flagship wins include open-loop contactless and virtual-card payments at São Paulo Metro, a WhatsApp ticket channel with VaideBus processing over 25 million tickets, and the Copa do Mundo validator edition. The company is ISO 9001:2015, ANATEL, ABINEE and ABES certified, has held the Prêmio Maiores & Melhores do Transporte for 19 consecutive years, and is led by President João Ronco Júnior.

Core offering

Prodata Mobility Brasil designs, manufactures, and deploys proprietary electronic fare collection systems for public transport operators. Its core offerings include onboard and metro validators, self-service ATM terminals, facial biometric identification systems, onboard CFTV and Wi-Fi equipment, driver control keyboards, and an integrated cloud software stack (Procloud, backoffice clearing, payments, identity and security). Solutions are sold as end-to-end ecosystems to government transportation authorities and bus, metro, and VLT operators across Latin America, Europe, Africa, and North America.

Product overview

Prodata Mobility Brasil operates as a platform-plus-modules architecture offering end-to-end electronic fare collection and mobility solutions. The core product portfolio centers on proprietary hardware validators (Validador de Bloqueio, Validador Metrô, Validador de Recarga, ABT 3500) and self-service terminals (ATM Prodata), complemented by supporting equipment including biometric facial recognition, CFTV, Wi-Fi onboard, and driver control keyboards (Teclado DMT). The software ecosystem comprises integrated modules for payments (supporting EMV contactless, QR Code, Google Pay, Apple Pay), digital recharge channels (Procloud), backoffice/clearing, identity/security, and communication. The platform connects these hardware and software components through cloud infrastructure to provide operators with fraud detection, passenger digital services, and multi-modal integration. In 2026, Prodata acquired Mais Mobi to expand its digital mobility ecosystem, now offering integrated payment across buses and light rail (VLTs) in regions like Baixada Santista.
