Challenge	Ryde Technology, a leading e-scooter-sharing provider in Norway, was facing challenges in ensuring a seamless and efficient service for its users. The company, which operates over 20,000 devices across six major Norwegian cities, needed a reliable solution to enable users to find a nearby vehicle and initiate a ride quickly and seamlessly. The company was also grappling with issues of scooter vandalism and SIM card misuse, which were adding to the company's operational costs. Furthermore, Ryde was looking to improve its production and supply chain processes, particularly in terms of quality assurance and rigorous testing of their scooters right from production. The company's previous provider was unable to meet these needs, leading to short outages where their devices were completely shut off from the network. Read More

Solution	Ryde turned to EMnify, a provider of IoT solutions, to address these challenges. EMnify's multi-network IoT SIM provided reliable service delivery and simplified deployment in new markets. The IoT unit in each scooter, equipped with an EMnify SIM card, receives real-time user commands from the mobile app to lock and unlock scooters, and communicates vital data like GPS signals. This ensured fast and stable connectivity, a key requirement for Ryde to ensure fleet readiness. EMnify's factory test mode also allowed Ryde to conduct sufficient tests on most of their devices without having to activate the SIM cards too early, leading to significant savings on connectivity costs. To address the issue of SIM card misuse, EMnify provided a data limit feature, which helped improve security and control costs. Read More Log in to view content
