about
Simplify shared mobility to make cities more livable and sustainable
Our mission
At Qucit, we strongly believe in more liveable and sustainable cities. One of the pillars of cities around the world is mobility. It allows everyone to access all the services of a community. Our idea is to accompany our customers, the operators of shared micro-mobility or shared scooters, to offer an ecological and reliable way of getting around to a maximum number of people. We partner with them to simplify their day-to-day field operations for a more profitable, clean and sustainable shared mobility.

"The idea for Qucit was really born in 2013, following the arrival of V3, the Bordeaux bike-sharing system. At the time, I was working as a researcher professor. I was leading a data study on the analysis of V3 users' behavior. At the same time, as a daily user, I often found the stations empty or full. Frustrated, I decided to combine my innovation skills with my love of shared mobility and cities to find a solution to simplify the optimization of shared mobility systems. Qucit was born!"
