Naolib

What Naolib does

Naolib is the unified consumer and business-facing mobility brand for Nantes Métropole, France, operated by Semitan (a Société d'Économie Mixte / mixed public-private entity) under public service delegation from the metropolitan authority. Launched in September 2023, the brand consolidates formerly separate mobility services — Réseau Tan (tram, bus, navibus), Bicloo (bike sharing), NGE Parkings and Effia (parking) — into a single multimodal platform covering 24 municipalities. The platform integrates public transport subscriptions, bike sharing (1,230+ bikes across 125+ stations), car sharing via partners Citiz and marguerite (85+ vehicles), carpooling through BlaBlaCar Daily, Karos, and Mobicoop integrations, and parking services including P+R facilities.

The product portfolio is delivered through the Naolib mobile application (with mTicket contactless validation), the eServices Pros online platform for corporate subscription management, and tiered corporate programs under Packs Mobilité Entreprise (Pack 1: <100 employees, Pack 2: 100-249, Pack 3: 250+). Pricing spans recurring subscriptions (Formule Illimitée Pro at €56.50/month), usage-based models (Formule Sur Mesure Pro at €1.70/hour with a €150 monthly cap), and event packages (Carte Invité, charter services for congresses). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (Naolib Pro advisors), a dedicated professional portal (pro.naolib.fr), and a self-serve consumer channel via mobile app and vending machines.

Revenue mechanics rest on a mix of recurring business subscriptions, pay-per-use fare collection, partner-operator fees (Citiz, marguerite, JCDecaux), parking subscriptions, and event services. Employer transport allowances (50-75% mandatory in France) and corporate subsidies (e.g., €84/month carpooling incentives) underwrite demand. Customers include DDTM Loire-Atlantique (270 employees), Centre Hospitalier Georges Daumezon (514), EURIAL/Agrial (368), Harmonie Habitat (70), Groupama Loire Bretagne (201), Ministère de l'Europe et des Affaires étrangères (950), Caisse d'Épargne Bretagne Pays de la Loire, ARMOR GROUP, and Saunier Duval — spanning government, healthcare, banking, insurance, agriculture, and SMB segments.
