Halda

What Halda does

Halda AB is a Sweden-incorporated private technology company that develops and operates a modular software and hardware platform for the Nordic taxi industry. The company is a subsidiary of Semel Group, a Nordic mobility-and-payment conglomerate that employs approximately 100 people across three countries and reports roughly 250 MSEK in annual group revenue. Halda AB's headquarters are in Sollentuna, Sweden, with operational presence in Helsinki, Finland, and sales or service coverage in Norway and Denmark.

The company's core offering centers on Åkarnet, a dispatch and payment-management platform used by taxi transport companies (Åkerier/Vognmænd) and centralized ordering centers (Bestillingscentraler) to coordinate bookings, dispatch, and payment processing. Complementary modules include CarTracker for fleet vehicle tracking, a Payment System for card administration and billing, a Traffic Management System for dispatch centers, and a Bolt integration that connects Halda M2 taximeters to the Bolt ride-hailing platform. On the consumer side, the 'Book a taxi' mobile application on iOS and Android enables end users to locate, book, and pay for rides.

Halda monetizes primarily through annual subscription rental packages (Hyrespaket/Lejepakker) that bundle equipment and software for taxi operators, with a direct enterprise sales motion supplemented by a partner/reseller network and app-store distribution for the consumer app. The platform is standardized across all four Nordic markets, and the company holds ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification (continuously held since 1998, renewed 2025-07-08) and ISO 14001:2015 environmental management certification (first granted 2019-12-19). Börje Nummelin serves as CEO/Verkställande Direktör of Halda AB.

Direct peers

• Curb (formerly Taxi Magic): Curb is a North American taxi-hailing app and platform that connects riders with licensed taxis via a unified dispatch and payment system. Directly comparable to Halda's Book-a-taxi consumer app combined with back-end dispatch infrastructure for licensed taxis.
• Autocab: Autocab provides taxi booking, dispatch, and payment software to licensed operators and booking offices, primarily in the UK. Overlaps directly with Halda on dispatch systems, ordering-center tools, and integrated payment processing for regulated taxi fleets.
• Taxicode: Taxicode is a UK-based taxi booking and dispatch platform serving licensed operators and booking offices. Directly comparable to Halda in business model (B2B dispatch software plus consumer booking app) and customer base (taxi companies and ordering centers).
• Cordic: Cordic supplies dispatch, booking, and management software for taxi and private-hire operators. Comparable to Halda as a B2B taxi technology vendor focused on licensed-fleet software, with similar module structure (dispatch, driver app, payment, back-office).
• iCabbi: iCabbi is a cloud-based taxi dispatch, booking, and fleet management platform widely used by licensed taxi operators across Europe and North America. Directly comparable to Halda's Åkarnet + Book-a-taxi + CarTracker stack in functionality, target customer (taxi fleets and ordering centers), and SaaS-style delivery.

Broad incumbents

• Gett: Gett is a global ground-transportation platform historically focused on licensed taxis and corporate accounts. Comparable to Halda's hybrid licensed-taxi/enterprise positioning, though operating at much larger scale and with stronger corporate-channel emphasis.
• Free Now (formerly mytaxi): Free Now is a major European multi-mobility app combining licensed taxis, private-hire vehicles, and other modes, backed by BMW and Daimler. Comparable to Halda as a regulated-taxi aggregation and dispatch platform, but operating at far greater scale and across more verticals and geographies.
• Verifone Transportation (formerly Verifone Taxi Solutions): Verifone's transportation business provides integrated payment terminals and back-office tools to taxi and private-hire operators globally. Comparable to Halda's in-vehicle hardware and payment-processing modules, but bundled within Verifone's much larger payments portfolio.

Emerging players

• MTData: MTData provides fleet management, dispatch, and vehicle-tracking software for taxi, bus, and commercial fleets, primarily in Australia. Comparable to Halda in providing integrated dispatch and tracking modules, but with a regional/emerging footprint rather than Nordic scale.

Others

• Bolt: Bolt is a global ride-hailing and mobility super-app and a current Halda integration partner. Included as an adjacent player, not a direct competitor to Halda's dispatch software, but a strategic counterparty whose terms and roadmap directly shape Halda's TNC-channel economics.
