Mobhilis

What Mobhilis does

Mobhilis is a French transport, mobility, and accessibility consulting firm (bureau d'études et de recherche) founded circa 2000 and headquartered in Redon, Brittany. The firm operates with 13 multidisciplinary collaborators and serves primarily Small and Medium Collectivities (PMC) — municipalities, intercommunal structures (EPCI), departments, regions, and metropolitan areas with territories of approximately 150,000 inhabitants — across metropolitan France and DROM-COM overseas territories. Its client base of 350+ public and private organizations has generated 430+ projects over ten years, with a documented track record of 9,000+ transport stops audited using the proprietary SAPA (Sécurité et Accessibilité des Points d'Arrêt) methodology and 30+ SDA/Ad'AP accessibility schemes completed.

The company's offering is organized around four service pillars — Mobility (Plans Locaux de Déplacement, Schéma Directeur des Mobilités Actives, employee mobility plans), Accessibility (SAPA scoring, accessibility audits, SDA/Ad'AP), Transport (network design, transport-on-demand, specialized student and disability transport), and Training (delivered via AGIR Transport and CNFPT partnerships). Underlying these services is a stack of proprietary digital assets developed in-house: the SAPA database and analysis engine (5+ years of development, 170+ field-collected scoring items), the 'Dessine-moi ta mobilité' serious game for participatory planning, citizen participation tools and methodologies, and use of the Cycloscope© monitoring tool for active mobility. Mobhilis maintains a partner ecosystem of 50+ organizations spanning universities (Rennes 2, Brest, Ecole des Mines de Nantes), CNRS, transport networks, legal specialists, and architecture/urbanism firms, enabling comprehensive responses on complex tenders.

The business model is sales-led and project-based, with pricing not publicly disclosed and engagements scoped via direct consultation. Revenue is generated through professional services fees for consulting studies, technical assistance missions (AMO), and training programs. The firm holds Jeune Entreprise Innovante recognition from the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research and operates with a registered share capital of €45,000, indicating a privately held, founder-led specialist consultancy rather than a venture-backed scale-up.
