10 Years of MobileThinking
[2023]

29/10/2024

We are celebrating our 10th anniversary ! 🎉 : the next chapter

Welcome to 2023! You're now entering an extraordinary year, marked by exciting projects and an incredible dynamic at MobileThinking.

We hope you're equipped with your best concrete-fixing gel, because this trip back in time promises to be a blast !

It's also MobileThinking's second-to-last trip back in time, so make the most of it 😉 

A wave of freshness spreads over the ship 🌊

The MobileThinking team is constantly evolving, reaching a new level in its team dynamics this year.

Jules and Mipam, who were on an internship at the time, both obtained their Bachelor's degrees in Web & Applications Development, offered by CREA Genève. Congratulations to them and thank you for their motivation, commitment and energy ! They then joined the team as full-stack developers. Their skills complement those of the team.

In October, it was Roseline's turn to join the team as a Junior Digital Marketing Specialist. Her job is to boost MobileThinking's visibility on social networks and write content for our website. Now you know who's behind this series of articles 😉

Welcome to the adventure ! 

Two TeamBuilding events 🤯

Virtual Room

An extraordinary VR experience to travel back in time! After a delicious raclette, which filled the whole office with its delicious scent, our team were able to dive deep into history, from the time of the pharaohs to prehistory, and even took a diversion to the moon 🌚. A day full of flavours and discoveries !

Escape Game

To make their escape, the team had to make their way through the darkness, crawling on all fours through tunnels. To guide them : the brave Jody who led the way, overcoming every obstacle ! (Well... apparently, he mostly ran into all the obstacles...) 🤫 But thanks to his dedication, the rest of the team managed to emerge unharmed from this escape game experience !

The projects and events that marked 2023

JoHdi Suite - ATS

The long-standing collaboration with the JoHdi Services team continues in 2023 with a new Applicant Tracking Software (ATS) module to enhance their suite of HR services, JoHdi Suite.

Available in 5 languages and connected to all the main job-boards on the market (websites specialising in job offers), this Applicant Tracking Software (ATS) centralises the creation and publication of job offers, as well as the various processes involved in managing, evaluating and making decisions on applications.

MobileThinking has also strengthened its ties with JoHdi Suite by formalising a partnership ! Find out more soon... 

Chemin de l’inclusion

In order to highlight and reference over 300 archive films, the  Université de Lausanne, in collaboration with RTS, called on MobileThinking to create an online platform dedicated to referencing these video capsules, highlighting the various disabilities present in today's society.

The vision behind the project was to raise public awareness of the realities of people with disabilities, foster inclusion and promote a deeper understanding of the challenges they may face on a daily basis.

Ultimo

Over the past few years, numerous projects and initiatives have tested and deployed autonomous vehicles (AVs) in public transport, but large-scale deployment of commercially viable automated shared fleets has not yet been achieved.

With the launch of ULTIMO, the project seeks to lay new foundations and deploy the very first large-scale, economically viable, on-demand, passenger-focused AV public transport services.

By taking a holistic approach to the deployment of AVs that considers all elements in a cross-sector business environment, ULTIMO aims to truly unlock the integration of AVs in cities with on-demand and door-to-door services, enabling more sustainable, accessible and inclusive mobility.

Building on the experience of previous projects such as SHOW and AVENUE, ULTIMO will deploy large fleets in three European cities to deliver a commercial grade public transport service. 

Fluxum

The Fluxum Foundation approached us to give their website a complete makeover. We worked together to provide them with an interface that allows visitors to navigate smoothly and take part in a more immersive and captivating online experience.

Fondation des Parkings

In 2023, we developed 2 new modules for the Fondation des Parkings. We can't go into too much detail, but to sum up, they mainly involve an algorithm for consolidating data from car park entrances with data on space occupancy. This project has been a very interesting technical challenge and has now been running for a pilot car park for a year. 

New quest unlocked: Creation of the BenefitMe company ! 🦎

The journey of your favourite crew is taking a major turn ! The creation of BenefitMe, a company in which MobileThinking has stakes, marks the start of a new central project. A project in which MobileThinking has invested alongside Loyco and Banque Piguet Galland !

Kevin is even Vice-Chairman of the Board, and as such takes part in the monthly Board of Directors meeting alongside the other members of the Management Committee. This is where strategic decisions are taken to ensure BenefitMe continues to evolve in a stable and sustainable way.

For more information, you can subscribe to the company on LinkedIn here : https://www.linkedin.com/company/benefitme/

Some feedback from the crew on this fantastic year

One of the highlights of the year was my meeting in Paris with our partners from Padam Mobility, along with Mattia. This meeting really strengthened our collaboration and opened up new prospects for the project. - Mipam

This year has been particularly meaningful for me, the projects we've worked on have been captivating and on a personal level I've gained confidence in using programming languages and tools, which has allowed me to flourish more in my role. - Fabien

Although it's been an intense year with a heavy workload, everything has gone perfectly. Our team is cohesive and runs smoothly. In addition, my involvement in the BenefitMe project has given our company a new dimension, which is very motivating. - Kevin

To be continued in the next episode ✨

Our exciting journey through time will soon come to an end... Next month we'll take a look back at the key events of 2024, yes, already. Time flies.

We look forward to seeing you at the end of November to bring to a close this series of memories that retraces the adventure of MobileThinking since its creation. Don't miss it !

See you soon !
