Raumobil Gmbh

What Raumobil Gmbh does

Raumobil GmbH, founded in 2006 and headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany, develops digital mobility platforms that combine location-based information with intermodal transport planning for cities, public transport associations, event organizers, tourism regions, and corporate sites. The company operates a four-product modular ecosystem: (1) smap (Smart Mobility Map), an embeddable digital interactive map that visualizes points of interest alongside real-time ÖPNV departures, sharing services, and routing for any location type; (2) Mobilitätsapp, a white-label intermodal mobility app deployed as KVV.regiomove and Ortenau Mobil that bundles public transport, bike sharing, car sharing, e-scooters, and taxis into a single planning, booking, and payment account; (3) smapBot, an AI-powered chatbot (built with LoyJoy GmbH) providing voice and text conversational access to live mobility data, route planning, and first-level support; and (4) Terminal, an on-site information kiosk. Underlying technology integrates real-time ÖPNV feeds, GBFS sharing availability, CiCoBW check-in/check-out (with FAIRTIQ), NUNAV swarm-intelligence navigation (swarco), and CO2 indicators.

The company pursues a B2B, project-based sales model with multi-year contracts and custom enterprise pricing. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-customer, either as white-label OEM (where the app is branded under the customer's identity, e.g., regiomove) or as standalone smaps under customer domains. Go-to-market combines direct outreach, industry event presence (IT-TRANS, KI-Challenge), and partner referrals through Verkehrsverbünde (KVV, TGO), NVBW, and research consortia including DAKIMO (with KIT and Fraunhofer IOSB) and SDIKA (with FZI, BMWK-funded). The company is privately held by co-founders and managing directors Michael Böttger and Oliver Wolf, with 33 employees and no disclosed external funding. Revenue derives from platform licensing, configuration, and ongoing service fees, with the recurring base anchored by the KVV.regiomove and TGO Ortenau Mobil contracts and supplemented by event-specific project work for venues such as Messe Karlsruhe (AC/DC Power Up Tour 2025), DAS FEST, and Peter-und-Paul-Fest Bretten.

Revenue model

1. MaaS Platform Licensing / Subscription: raumobil provides its mobility platforms (smap, mobility app, smapBot) as tailored solutions to cities, public transport associations, and event organizers. Revenue appears to come from platform licensing, configuration, and ongoing service fees. The company follows a project-based sales model with B2B customers rather than direct consumer subscriptions.

Core offering

raumobil develops and operates a modular digital mobility ecosystem comprising the intermodal Mobilitätsapp (deployed as regiomove and Ortenau Mobil), the interactive smap (Smart Mobility Map), the AI-powered smapBot assistant, and the on-site Terminal information kiosk. The platforms are sold and configured as tailored B2B solutions for cities, public transport associations, event organizers, tourism regions, and corporate sites, combining real-time ÖPNV data, sharing services, routing, booking, payment, and CO2 tracking behind customer-branded interfaces.

Product overview

Raumobil GmbH offers a modular mobility ecosystem consisting of four interconnected products that can be used individually or combined: the Mobilitätsapp (regiomove/Ortenau Mobil) serves as the core multi- and intermodal mobility platform enabling planning, booking, and payment across all local transport providers in a single account; smap (Smart Mobility Map) is a digital interactive map for location visualization and sustainable arrival planning for cities, events, and tourist sites; smapBot is an AI-powered chatbot integrating into the ecosystem for first-level support via voice and text, providing route planning and knowledge retrieval; and Terminal is a local information kiosk solution for on-site mobility information. The products share a common data architecture and can exchange information in real-time across touchpoints to form a complete Smart City mobility solution.
