What Cotech does

Cotech is a private, for-profit software development company founded in 2000 and headquartered in Bogotá, Colombia, that builds technology for the transportation industry. Its operating brand is Taxis Libres, a taxi service platform accessible via the cotech.com.co domain, indicating the company functions as both a software vendor and an operator of consumer-facing transportation services in the Colombian market. The firm employs between 101 and 250 people, placing it in the small-to-mid software company tier by headcount.

The company's product surface centers on the Taxis Libres platform, which appears to combine taxi dispatch, fleet operations, and rider-facing service functionality. Cotech has historically pursued inorganic growth through acquisitions, notably Bimoney in January 2019 (a fintech-adjacent asset, suggesting extension into payments within the transportation vertical) and Spia in August 2005. No additional product lines, APIs, SDKs, mobile applications, certifications, patents, or technology stack disclosures are available in the source data, so the underlying technical architecture cannot be characterized in detail.

The business model, customer segmentation, pricing mechanics, and revenue model are not disclosed in the available data. No named customers, enterprise contracts, distribution partners, or pricing tiers are documented, and there is no disclosed revenue, ARR, or GMV figure. Consequently, monetization appears to be a mix of platform fees, ride-related revenue, and possibly software licensing to drivers and fleets, but this is not directly evidenced. Cotech's ownership, investor base, and management team are also not disclosed in the source material.

Broad incumbents

• Uber: Dominant global ride-hailing and mobility super-app, operating across Colombia. Competes with Taxis Libres for the same on-demand ground-transport demand but at vastly greater scale and as part of a broader mobility and delivery portfolio.
• DiDi Global: Global ride-hailing platform with significant LatAm presence, including Colombia. Competes directly for both passengers and licensed drivers and, like Uber, is a broad incumbent rather than a taxi-only specialist.

Direct peers

• iCabbi: Global taxi-dispatch and fleet-management software provider used by taxi operators worldwide. Comparable because Cotech operates the Taxis Libres dispatcher; iCabbi sells similar B2B SaaS into taxi fleets and could substitute or partner with that platform.
• FREENOW (formerly mytaxi / FREE NOW): Multi-European taxi and ride-hailing app with strong regulated-taxi heritage and partnerships with dispatcher software vendors. Overlaps with Taxis Libres on licensed-taxi e-hailing and is a credible substitute or partner.
• Curb (formerly Taxi Magic): North-American regulated-taxi e-hailing and payments platform that connects riders to licensed yellow-cab fleets. Comparable as a digital layer over a regulated taxi network with a payment/meter-data flywheel similar to what Taxis Libres + Bimoney could become.
• Cabify: Spain-founded but with deep LatAm operations (Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Chile). Competes head-on with Cotech's Taxis Libres in Colombian on-demand ground transport, with overlapping passenger and driver audiences and a tech-platform business model.
• Autocab: UK-based supplier of booking, dispatch, and driver-management software to licensed taxi and private-hire operators. Direct comparable on the dispatch/back-office software layer that powers Taxis Libres.

Emerging players

• Sixt (mobility platform): German-headquartered rental, car-sharing and ride-services platform with growing LatAm ambitions. Comparable as a tech-enabled ground transport platform that overlaps with parts of Taxis Libres' passenger and fleet audience.
