MaaS business models – lessons learned

This on-demand webinar explored what lessons have been learnt from the progress of MaaS so far and where the concept goes from here.

 MaaS has made it beyond the hype and continues to gain popularity. More and more MaaS initiatives are popping up, the technology behind it is mature and a lot of light has been shed on what makes a MaaS app attractive to customers.

But one question becomes increasingly pressing: How do we establish models of cooperation that equally serve the commercial interests of all stakeholders? MaaS is based on integration and cooperation; a platform will only endure if all participants have viable incentives to contribute to the joint project. The platform’s business model has to accommodate the partners’ business models, which may be very heterogeneous. An agreement also needs to be reached on the assignment of roles and responsibilities. How can this be achieved and where do challenges arise?

In this on-demand webinar, Geert Vanbeveren (Siemens Mobility) and Ulrich Lange (eos.uptrade) outline the various models and explained their implications, with special attention given to data management. The speakers also shared their experiences and insights from various international large-scale MaaS projects with the audience. 

A particular aspect that was addressed in the webinar was “MaaS meets Corporate Travel“. MaaS models, which are primarily developed for large companies and their employees, adhere to their very own business logic, which was explained during the presentation.

Key Learning Points:

  • Different (business) models for implementing MaaS platforms were explored, as well as what to consider in the process
  • The experts discussed how to ensure that a MaaS platform is (commercially) attractive to all players with their different business models
  • International live cases of how the different approaches to MaaS play out in the real world
