Peak Mobility

What Peak Mobility does

Peak Mobility GmbH is a Berlin-headquartered vertical software company that develops and licenses modular software solutions for public transport operators (ÖPNV) and regional rail operators (SPNV) across Germany, Switzerland, and Poland, with emerging activity in the United Kingdom. Its core product suite comprises PEAK.DMS (Depot Management System for buses, trams, and trains), PEAK.TMS (Train Management System for digitalization and automation of rail operations), PEAK.PROFAHR (Personnel Scheduling with operational personnel disposition, payroll integration, and mobile Workbook), PEAK.ITCS (Intermodal Transport Control / Operations Control System), and ABO-B/ABO-VU (subscription and school transport management for authorities and operators). The platform is built on a modular, hardware-independent, cloud-ready architecture with open standard interfaces (railML, VDV, ITXPT) and integrates with ITCS, ERP, telematics, and EV charging infrastructure. AI-based optimization is delivered through the proprietary Deep Qualicision algorithm for real-time vehicle positioning and conflict resolution, and a Predictive Dispatching feature that links vehicle rotations into chains while forecasting energy consumption, charging windows, and operational bottlenecks for electric and mixed fleets.

The company operates a direct enterprise field sales model targeting operations managers, IT directors, and procurement officers at public transport operators, with sales cycles involving multi-stage procurement processes typical of government-affiliated buyers. Revenue is generated through project-specific software licensing and subscriptions, implementation and integration services, ongoing maintenance and software updates, and structured training seminars (priced at €650–€1,050 per participant). The company is ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified, supporting KRITIS-compliant deployments. Peak Mobility was acquired by Altamount Software GmbH — part of the CHAPTERS Group AG vertical software portfolio — in March 2025, rebranded from its legacy name PSI Transcom GmbH in September 2025, and integrated Verkehrsautomatisierung Berlin (VAB) in November 2025. Named enterprise customers include Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr (RNV, 455 vehicles, ~500,000 passengers/day), Verkehrsbetriebe Luzern, MPK Poznan, Verkehrsbetriebe Zürich (VBZ, ~260 trams across five depots), VHH (17 locations, ~800 buses), Mainzer Mobilität, Forchbahn, Rhätische Bahn, Tramwaje Warszawskie, and NIAG.
