Urban Connect AG, a Zurich-based entity founded in 2013, operates as a data-driven, multimodal corporate mobility platform. The company was co-founded by the husband-and-wife team, Judith Häberli and Robert Ruttmann. Häberli, now the Chief Growth Officer, initially pursued acting before studying Economics at the University of Zurich and later qualifying as a Smart Mobility Manager. Ruttmann serves as the company's CEO. The venture began as a side project while Häberli was studying, born from the belief that companies could serve as crucial access points for shared, low-carbon mobility, thereby shifting the paradigm from vehicle ownership to access.
The firm targets corporate clients, offering a comprehensive Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) solution designed to simplify fleet management, reduce emissions, and enhance employee benefits. Its business model is centered on providing companies with a fully integrated ecosystem of shared, low-emission vehicles, which includes e-bikes, e-scooters, e-cargo bikes, and e-cars. Revenue is generated by managing the procurement and maintenance of these vehicle fleets for their corporate customers. Esteemed clients such as Google, Roche, Hilti, and Lonza utilize their services.
The core of Urban Connect's offering is a proprietary software platform and a user-facing app that enables employees to book and unlock vehicles. This platform integrates several key services: corporate car and micro-mobility sharing, public transport integration in partnership with SBB, and tools for fleet and parking optimization. A significant feature is the mobility budget, a customizable monthly allowance employees can use for various transportation services, incentivizing sustainable travel. The platform provides businesses with a 'Climate Cockpit' for CO2 reporting and data analytics to optimize fleet utilization and support ESG compliance. By bundling these services, Urban Connect aims to deliver a cost-efficient, sustainable, and streamlined mobility experience for companies and their employees.
