Are you ready to supercharge your fleet revenue? The traditional routes are great, but sometimes it’s time to think outside the box—or rather, outside the vehicle. Let’s explore how expanding your use-case to B2B can drive revenue within the shared mobility sector.

What is B2B in Mobility?

Shared mobility often conjures images of B2C operations where individuals rent or share vehicles, B2B mobility represents a different approach. In this model, services are specifically designed for use by members of corporations, organizations or communities (business-to-business).

For instance, a hotel might offer scooters for guests to explore the area, or a company could provide employees with discounted access to shared vehicles for business trips or commuting. These examples highlight B2B mobility, where a shared mobility operator partners with a business or organization. This collaboration not only generates financial benefits for both parties but also helps companies reduce their carbon footprint and creates new revenue streams for mobility operators.

Here are some creative ideas to enhance your fleet revenue through innovative B2B partnerships and new opportunities:

Franchising

In shared mobility, a common franchising approach involves operators partnering with other mobility providers, allowing them to operate under your brand and software. In this model, the franchisor provides a comprehensive operating system, including its brand, products, services, and operational framework. This offers a turnkey solution for managing a shared mobility business. Franchisees receive extensive support, such as site selection, development guidance, operational manuals, training, marketing strategies, and ongoing business advisory services.

Leverage ATOM Mobility’s dashboard subaccount system to grant Franchisees access restricted to their specific operations and the fleet you assign, enabling your partners to efficiently manage vehicle sharing or digital rental operations under your brand.

Explore Corporate Fleet Solutions

Many businesses are on the lookout for reliable, scalable fleet solutions for their corporate needs. By positioning your fleet as an ideal solution for corporate transportation, you can open up new revenue streams. For example, you can partner with a larger company and allow their employees to use your fleet at a special price during working days. At the same time, the company can assign different mobility budgets to various employee groups to use in your app. In such cases, the company, your partner, will cover the rides of their employees at specially agreed rates.

Check out our corporate account management for more insights on how to get started. Businesses often need transportation solutions for employee commutes, client visits, and even business trips. Tap into this need, and you’ll see your fleet revenue soar.

There are two core cooperation models with larger companies:

  • Allowing their employees to use publicly available vehicles at specific times via your app, with all rides covered by the company.
  • Dedicating, and potentially branding, a portion of your fleet for a specific company, making it available exclusively to them and their employees. In this model, you provide the support, software, and maintenance, ensuring that this fleet is accessible only to that company.

Join Forces with Local Hotspots

By teaming up with local cafés, retail stores, or entertainment venues, you can offer special promotions to their customers. It’s a win-win! Local businesses get more foot traffic, and you get a steady stream of new riders or renters. This works very well in micro-mobility.

For example, you could offer a discount on vehicle rentals to patrons of a local restaurant or provide shuttle services for events at a nearby theater. Plus, it’s a great way to make your fleet a local celebrity!

Dive Into Delivery and Logistics Sector

With the explosion of e-commerce, there’s a significant opportunity in the delivery and logistics sector. You can partner with online retailers or local businesses in need of delivery services, offering either a full-service solution, including delivery, or simply leasing vehicles to them.

By providing dedicated delivery solutions or offering special rates for bulk deliveries, you can tap into a lucrative market and scale from there. Your fleet can become the preferred delivery solution for online shops and local stores, increasing your revenue while keeping your vehicles in constant use.

Create Exclusive Tourist Packages

Tourism is another goldmine for fleet revenue. Collaborate with travel agencies, hotels, or tourist attractions to offer exclusive transportation packages. Imagine a package deal where tourists get a ride to all the must-see spots in town with a single booking. It’s convenient for tourists and profitable for you!

Leverage Event Partnerships

Events, from corporate conferences to local festivals, are perfect opportunities for fleet revenue growth. Partner with event organizers to provide shuttle services, VIP transport, or event-specific rentals.

You could also offer branded vehicles as part of the event experience. Imagine your fleet driving event-goers around town, all while being seen by thousands of potential new customers.

Offer Vehicle Subscription Services

Subscription services are on the rise. Why not offer a vehicle subscription model where businesses can subscribe to access a variety of vehicles based on their needs? This model can provide steady, predictable revenue and attract customers who prefer flexibility over long-term commitments.

ATOM Mobility’s private fleet options can easily be adapted to fit a subscription model. Learn more about our private fleet solutions to see how this could work for you.‍

To ensure your new B2B offering is successful, follow this easy five-step process for each new B2B revenue direction you want to test:

  • Identify partners: Research and reach out to businesses that could benefit from your B2B offering. At this stage, presentations and text will be sufficient, and the main goal is to collect feedback and gauge interest.
  • Customize services: Based on the feedback collected, tailor your offerings to meet each partner’s specific needs and address their pain points for better value. This is a good time to sign an agreement with them.
  • Set up the platform: Ensure your technology and fleet are ready for B2B. Partner with experts like ATOM Mobility for seamless technical support and easy onboarding.
  • Run a pilot: Test your approach with small-scale pilots to gather feedback, assess the financial model, and improve your solution.
  • Scale up: Once pilots succeed, expand to new partners and regions using the insights gained.
