ATOM Mobility integrates ride-hailing services into the software

ATOM Mobility integrates ride-hailing services into the software

Vehicle sharing is picking up a vehicle in a convenient location, getting to the destination, and leaving it there for other people to use. Ride-hailing is using a private driver to reach the destination. The only exception, in this case, is that the driver is not always a taxi driver – it could be the person that is offering the service in a private car. Both of these services are examples of shared mobility. The current trend is that those who have launched one are adding to their portfolio another in some shape or form. So we at ATOM Mobility are moving towards service integration in the micromobility business.

It all started with Uber in 2018 when the company announced that the dockless bike-sharing company Jump had started to partner with its ride-hail app. For users, this move has made it easier to plan the first or the last mile of the trip. Later that year Lyft acquired Motivate (Citi Bike), the largest bike-share operator in North America, and announced an investment of $100 million into the dramatic expansion of Citi Bike in New York City with the additional benefit for users, whereby they can access bikes directly via the Lyft app. At the end of 2020, this trend reached Europe when Bolt announced that it was preparing to invest €100 million in electric scooters and bikes. Bolt initially was called Taxify and was founded with the vision of aggregating all Tallinn and Riga taxis on one platform. Later the company expanded to other cities but initially focused only on ride-hailing.

This trend is expanding, because this is a logical next step – the synergy between ride-hailing and vehicle sharing offers users an easy and convenient way to get from point A to point B. Whereas for operators this constitutes a perfect opportunity to diversify their services, as well as to strengthen their positions in the market. Vehicle sharing is no longer just a means of transportation ordered via the app. It has become the opportunity for users to plan their trips. However, from a business perspective, operators should not jump into new opportunities as they appear and diversify their services too early without additional funding. Launching new verticals should be well-calculated.

Following this trend, ATOM has launched a new product - a ride-hailing and taxi platform that can be easily integrated with the existing scooter, bike, moped, and car-sharing software provided to customers worldwide. The ATOM ride-hailing platform can also be started as a separate business and not limited to cars or taxis. A ride-hailing service can be provided by vans, rickshaws, boats, as well as any other means of transportation you can think of. And this is the fastest way for potential customer to enter new market or just test the idea. The approach developed by ATOM helps to open new business verticals at low cost and furthermore it is easier to scale from there. Moreover, there is a logical synergy between scooter, bike, car-sharing users, and ride-hailing.

This development seems like a perfect next step for ATOM Mobility - the company that started its business in 2019 by providing the first vehicle-sharing opportunities in the Latvian capital, Riga. Subsequently, ATOM Mobility has focused on software development and now provides other companies in more than 70 cities worldwide with the software to run their car sharing, bikes sharing, scooter sharing, forklift sharing, golf cart sharing, boat sharing, and other businesses. Our mission at ATOM has always been to support different types of businesses and help them succeed with all the knowledge that we have gained through our clients and ourselves. This is the path we are going to take in the future by following trends and not leaving our clients behind.

Introducing ATOM Mobility OpenAPI: Empowering mobility operators with seamless integrations
Introducing ATOM Mobility OpenAPI: Empowering mobility operators with seamless integrations

✅ ATOM Mobility has launched OpenAPI v1 - giving vehicle-sharing, rental, and ride-hailing operators full control to integrate their services into MaaS platforms, websites, and partner apps. Discover how this powerful tool can help you expand reach, automate operations, and drive more bookings.

Read post

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the ATOM Mobility OpenAPI v1 - a major step toward enabling mobility operators to seamlessly integrate their services with third-party platforms, partner systems, and custom applications.

With the OpenAPI, ATOM Mobility opens up new possibilities for businesses running vehicle-sharing, rental, and ride-hailing services to extend their digital reach, enhance customer experience, and unlock new revenue streams.

What is an OpenAPI and why does it matter?

An OpenAPI (or application programming interface) is a set of standardized protocols that allows external software systems to interact with your platform. In simple terms, it acts like a bridge between your mobility service and the outside world — enabling secure data sharing and functional integration.

For mobility businesses, OpenAPIs have become a key tool for:

  • Displaying fleet availability in Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platforms
  • Enabling ride or rental bookings directly from external platforms (websites, apps, kiosks)
  • Automating back-office workflows and data pipelines
  • Enhancing customer service tools with real-time ride information

What makes ATOM Mobility’s OpenAPI different?

While many mobility providers offer GBFS (General Bikeshare Feed Specification) to share read-only data (ATOM Mobility will continue supporting GBFS) - such as vehicle locations and availability - these feeds are typically limited to visibility. Users still need to switch to a provider's app to complete the ride.

ATOM Mobility’s OpenAPI is different. It offers full read-write access to the core functions of your platform - similar to what operators can already do in the back-office dashboard. This means that third-party apps can not only display your vehicles but also handle booking, payments, and ride management entirely within their own interface.

This is a game-changer for expanding your service footprint beyond your app.

What’s included in OpenAPI v1?

The first version of the OpenAPI supports all core modules — Vehicle sharing, Digital rental, and Ride-Hailing — with both public and private endpoints for:

  • User registration and authentication
  • Vehicle discovery and availability
  • Zone rules, pricing, and ride logic
  • Starting and ending rides or bookings
  • Accessing ride history and user activity
  • Enhanced actions: skip wallet checks, trigger some commands, bypass OTP, and more

Typical use cases

Here are some examples of how mobility operators are already planning to use the ATOM OpenAPI:

1. Deep MaaS platform integrations

Connect your fleet to fast-growing MaaS platforms, for example:

  • umob - a Dutch mobility booking app that recently raised €3.5M to expand its "all-in-one" MaaS experience across Europe. With OpenAPI, your vehicles could be fully bookable and payable directly from their interface.
  • Moovit – a mobility super-app used by over 1.7 billion riders in 3,500+ cities. Traditionally, Moovit displays vehicles using GBFS and redirects users to provider apps - with OpenAPI, the entire booking could happen inside Moovit.
  • Jelbi (Berlin) - Germany’s flagship MaaS platform, integrating 12+ operators, including car-sharing, scooters, and public transport. A direct API integration offers visibility and usage on one of Europe’s most advanced multimodal networks.

2. Bookings via your website

Allow users to book rentals or ride directly from your website without needing to download an app upfront. This is especially useful for tourists, first-time users or hotels. The app would only be needed to unlock the vehicle or track the driver (in case of ride-hailing).

3. B2B partner integrations

Want to offer mobility through hotels, offices, or real estate platforms? Now they can show your vehicles and complete bookings within their apps - driving high-value B2B usage without manual overhead.

4. Customer support automation

Support agents can pull up a rider’s active trip data in external helpdesk tools using ride ID endpoints - improving efficiency and resolution speed.

5. Custom dashboards and analytics

Build your own reporting layer by pulling real-time and historical ride, user, and revenue data into tools like Power BI, Tableau, or custom CRMs.

How to enable the OpenAPI?

The OpenAPI is available to all ATOM clients on the Premium Plan, which includes:

  • Access to full OpenAPI documentation and developer tools
  • 100,000 API requests per month included in your support fee
  • Technical assistance from the ATOM team for setup and testing

In a significant move signaling further consolidation within the micro-mobility software sector, industry leader ATOM Mobility announced its strategic acquisition of ScootAPI.

The deal, finalized on June 1, 2025, strengthens ATOM Mobility's dominant position in the B2B SaaS Micro-Mobility market. This deal also marks a successful and timely exit for ScootAPI founder, George Kachanouski, who is already channeling his entrepreneurial energy into a new AI Venture in stealth mode for now.

For years, both ATOM Mobility and ScootAPI have been key players, providing essential software solutions for micro-mobility operators worldwide. This acquisition sees ATOM Mobility, led by CEO Arturs Burnins, proactively solidifying its market leadership. The move was driven by a strategic imperative to win the top spot in a competitive landscape by integrating ScootAPI’s valuable assets and client base.


About ATOM Mobility:

Founded in 2018 by Arturs Nikiforovs and CEO Arturs Burnins, ATOM Mobility empowers entrepreneurs to launch and scale mobility platforms worldwide, including vehicle sharing (scooters, bikes, mopeds, cars), digital rental, and ride-hailing businesses. With a suite of products including customizable rider apps, comprehensive dashboards, operator apps, and robust analytics, ATOM Mobility supports over 200 projects and 35,000 vehicles, facilitating over 1,000,000 rides monthly. The company is committed to providing reliable, agile, and well-designed technology with a strong focus on customer revenue growth and system stability, aiming to be the leader in B2B SaaS for micro-mobility.

About ScootAPI:

Founded in 2019 by CEO George Kachanouski, ScootAPI established itself as a significant player in the micro-mobility software space. The company delivered a robust white-label SaaS platform that empowered entrepreneurs and operators worldwide, successfully launching more than 50 distinct micro-mobility projects across diverse international markets. ScootAPI was dedicated to fostering 'smart' city transportation, thereby contributing to reduced CO2 emissions and an improved quality of urban life for communities worldwide.

"This is an acceleration moment for ATOM Mobility and the micro-mobility SaaS market as a whole," said Arturs Burnins, CEO of ATOM Mobility. "Acquiring ScootAPI aligns with our strategy to lead the industry and provide the most comprehensive, reliable, and innovative solutions to operators globally. We're excited to welcome ScootAPI’s clients into the ATOM Mobility platform, further accelerating the growth and efficiency of shared mobility worldwide."

For George, this move wasn't initially on his roadmap. He was invested in ScootAPI's growth. However, the recent explosion in AI technology sparked a new, compelling passion. “Selling ScootAPI wasn't something I was planning to do," George admitted. "We had built a good product, and the journey was far from over in my mind. But then the AI revolution really took off, and I found myself completely captivated by the potential of agentic workflows to automate business processes. The idea of building a new company in the AI space, something potentially even bigger and on a brand new frontier, became incredibly exciting."

As the transition moves ahead, George remains confident that ScootAPI's clients are in good hands. “ATOM Mobility has a clear vision and the technical depth to support operators long-term,” he said. “That was important to me. I didn’t want to hand things over to just anyone – I wanted to be sure the people relying on our platform would still be supported and able to grow.”

The integration of ScootAPI into ATOM Mobility promises a smooth transition for clients, who will now benefit from an expanded suite of features and robust support under the ATOM Mobility umbrella, further streamlining operations for micro-mobility entrepreneurs globally.
