SNCF Connect & Tech

What SNCF Connect & Tech does

SNCF Connect & Tech is a French private technology subsidiary of SNCF Voyageurs, founded in 2000, that provides digital mobility solutions through a dual-brand structure: SNCF Connect, a consumer-facing all-in-one sustainable mobility platform, and Tesmo, a B2B/B2G suite of modular technology solutions for transport operators, mobility organizing authorities, and enterprises. The company serves individual travelers (17.2M active clients, 233M tickets sold in 2025, 4.5M daily visits), public mobility authorities (Regions, AOMs), transport operators (rail, urban), and enterprises managing employee mobility budgets, with operations across three French sites (Saint-Denis headquarters, Lille, Nantes) and a 1,300-person workforce of which two-thirds are technical staff.

The underlying technology is a microservices, API-first platform that powers nine integrated solutions covering the full mobility value chain: Tesmo Distribution (multimodal ticketing APIs handling 10M daily offer requests across 500+ catalog products), Tesmo Info Voyageurs (real-time traveler information and a national mobility referential), Tesmo Hub de Paiement (PCI DSS-compliant payment orchestration processing 150M transactions annually across 14 merchant sites), Tesmo Contrôle (mobile ticket validation serving ~4,500 controllers), Tesmo Marque blanche (white-label deployments for authorities), Tesmo Relation Client (customer support), Tesmo Pay-as-you-go (post-payment fare optimization), Tesmo Business Mobility (enterprise mobility budgets), and Tesmo Maps (OpenStreetMap-based geographic foundation). The platform runs 5,000 production deployments and 3M automated tests per month.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model: B2C commissions on ticket sales via the SNCF Connect app and website, B2B software licensing and usage-based API fees for the Tesmo suite, and professional services for technical assistance and ITS implementation. The internal SNCF Group is the largest customer, with deployments spanning 200 TGV station sales points; external customers include Région PACA, Disneyland Paris (five-year official partner), and Coeur de Maurienne Arvan Bus. The company is wholly owned by SNCF Voyageurs with no external investment, no patent portfolio disclosed, and is certified under Label Numérique Responsable Level 2, RGAA accessibility, and PCI DSS.
