The Free2Move marketplace has adopted a Mobility Services' Provider position, aggregating numerous mobility solutions through a single location.

Moreover, the company's easily scalable solutions enable mobility operators to launch under their own brand or under the Free2Move brand. This way, they can remain independent and still be connected to Free2Move's global network to access a broader customer base. The company's lower cost of collaboration eliminates the need for shared mobility operators to manage multiple stakeholders in the ecosystem. Furthermore, Free2Move's high level of customizability allows mobility operators to shift from one consumption model to another based on the city of operation and mobility options in demand.
