What CleverSolutions does

CleverSolutions Operations GmbH is a Berlin-based managed services provider for on-demand public transport in Germany. The company operates and maintains mobility services on behalf of public transport authorities, platform providers, and technology partners, covering fleet management, driver recruitment and training, control center dispatch, shift planning, demand forecasting, and quality monitoring. Its service portfolio is split into a driver-based operations line and an autonomous fleet operations line, supported by an integrated stack of ride management software, control center systems, and fleet management dashboards.

The underlying technology combines ride-pooling algorithms that bundle ride requests and route drivers to pickup and drop-off points with real-time control center and fleet management tools. Demand forecasting and shift planning modules support dispatch optimization, while a remote operations capability is being built out for autonomous fleets. Ride management software is provisioned through a core technology partnership rather than developed entirely in-house.

CleverSolutions generates revenue through managed operations contracts, technology integration and software provision, and fleet setup and infrastructure services, with pricing negotiated per engagement. The company holds the first on-demand permit in Germany and contributed to the PBefG amendment that shaped the legal framework for the category. Its reported operating footprint spans 12+ locations, 40+ services, 500+ vehicles, and 6+ million passengers transported.
