OKINA

What OKINA does

OKINA (SASU OKINA) is a French software company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Dax, southwestern France. Since June 2022, it has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lumiplan Group, the European leader in passenger information solutions. The company serves Autorités Organisatrices de Mobilité (AOM) — including French regions, métropoles, and communautés d'agglomération — as well as public transport operators, with two core SaaS products. LumiData is a normalized mobility data management platform that aggregates, enriches, and publishes data across all transport modes (bus, tram, train, bike-sharing, parking, carpooling, EV charging) in compliance with the Loi d'Orientation des Mobilités (LOM) and European standards (NeTEx, SIRI, GTFS, GBFS), including automatic publication to France's Point d'Accès National. School-iti is a modular school transport management solution covering the full lifecycle from family enrollments and dossier processing through invoicing, SMS/email communications, and carrier contract administration.

The technology stack is built on open-source components and is designed for interoperability and evolutivity, allowing integration with Lumiplan's LumiPlay SaaS platform and third-party systems. Revenue is generated through annual SaaS subscriptions procured via public tenders (marchés publics), with both products listed on the UGAP public procurement catalog. As of 2022, OKINA served approximately 20 regional and metropolitan collectivities through LumiData and reached 310,000 children across 6,300 educational establishments and 5,000 communes through School-iti. Operations are led by Laurence Toyou (Responsable des Opérations) following founder Eric Gaignet's retirement in 2023. The company is active within a niche of regulated French public-sector mobility data management, leveraging its parent's distribution network for cross-sell opportunities while maintaining product-level autonomy within the Lumiplan Group structure.

Emerging players

• Padam Mobility: Padam Mobility is a French on-demand and shared mobility software provider serving transport authorities. While more focused on demand-responsive transport than data normalization, it competes for the same Autorités Organisatrices de Mobilité budget and overlaps with OKINA's mobility SaaS positioning.
• Nominis: Nominis is a French mobility data analytics firm focused on public transport usage measurement and data analysis. It is a smaller, niche emerging player that overlaps with OKINA on the analytics layer of mobility data for French authorities.

Direct peers

• Ixxi: Ixxi is a French mobility data and geomatic services firm offering data normalization, open data publication, and analytics for transport authorities and territories. It is a direct competitor to OKINA's LumiData in the French public mobility data space.
• Instant System: Instant System is a French mobility platform provider offering multimodal traveler information, booking, and MaaS solutions to transport authorities and operators. It overlaps with OKINA's mobility data and multimodal information capabilities targeting French regions and agglomerations.
• Cityway: Cityway is a French mobility information and journey planning platform now operating as a Transdev subsidiary. It competes directly with OKINA in passenger information systems and multimodal mobility data, and is even an OKINA customer via Transdev, illustrating the same buyer-supplier overlap that defines this market.
• Kisio: Kisio is a French mobility data and MaaS solutions provider serving public transport authorities and operators. It directly competes with OKINA's LumiData platform by offering data normalization, multimodal traveler information, and ticketing integrations to the same Autorités Organisatrices de Mobilité customer base in France.

Regional players

• Mentz Datenverarbeitung: Mentz is a German mobility data and passenger information specialist serving public transport authorities in Germany and other European countries. It is comparable to OKINA in product scope (schedule data, GTFS/NeTEx publishing, HAFAS timetable system) but operates in a different geography.

Broad incumbents

• INIT Group (Trapeze / iRIS): INIT Group (including Trapeze and iRIS) provides public transport IT solutions across scheduling, operations, and passenger information. It is a broad incumbent in the European public transport software market with capabilities that overlap with OKINA's LumiData platform but on a much larger scale.
• Cubic Transportation Systems: Cubic Transportation Systems is a global provider of public transit ticketing, fare collection, and real-time passenger information solutions. As a broad incumbent, it competes with OKINA in the mobility data and traveler information layer but as part of a much larger portfolio of transit IT products.
• Conduent Transportation: Conduent Transportation Solutions provides fare collection, transit analytics, and mobility platforms to public transit agencies in North America and Europe. It is a broad incumbent that competes for transport authority IT budgets adjacent to OKINA's mobility data and information solutions.
