123-Transporter, operating as 123 Shared Mobility GmbH, is a station-based van-sharing provider founded in early 2020. The company was co-founded by Matthias Pajek, who currently serves as CEO. The business idea originated from Pajek's personal experience with the lack of available rental vans in his hometown in Lower Austria, where the waiting time was over two months. This identified market gap led to the creation of a fully digital rental platform.
The company utilizes an asset-light business model, working with fleet partners who own, insure, and maintain the vehicles rather than owning the fleet itself. This approach allows 123-Transporter to focus on the customer experience, technology, and strategic growth. Revenue is generated through rental fees, which can be structured as hourly or daily packages, or based on kilometers driven. The service is designed for both private individuals needing a van for moving or transporting large items and for business clients seeking flexible transport solutions.
The platform offers a seamless, entirely digital booking and rental process available 24/7. Customers can book a vehicle in under 99 seconds via a mobile app or website, access it using a digital key on their smartphone, and manage the entire rental process without physical contact. Key features include remote vehicle access, GPS tracking for monitoring vehicle location and usage, and automated damage detection. The company has expanded significantly since its launch in 2021, growing its presence from Austria to Germany, the Czech Republic, and Hungary. Strategic partnerships with retailers like OBI and Hornbach have further expanded its network of locations. The company has successfully raised capital from notable investors to fuel its international expansion, including plans to enter other Eastern European markets.
