Today, on June 4, 2024, autoSense is celebrating its six-year anniversary. The innovative start-up was founded in June 2018, counts the three companies Swisscom, AMAG Group and Zurich Switzerland among its investors and has since developed into a major player in the field of digital mobility.
Since its inception, autoSense has undergone impressive development. From a small team of four people, a multicultural team of a total of 45 employees has grown, including 30 in Switzerland and 15 developers in Sweden. This expansion is a clear sign of the company's success and growing importance in the market.
A central component of autoSense's success is the trust that the company enjoys from over 300 corporate and fleet customers. These customers benefit from a wide range of services in the areas of digital fleet management as well as electrification and efficient charging management of electric fleets. In addition, more and more autoSense clients are having so-called white label apps developed, another sign of the versatility and adaptability of the solutions offered.
The most important milestones on the journey so far:
- autoSense has achieved numerous significant milestones in the last six years. One of the first major successes was the introduction of Switzerland's first digital refueling solution in 2018, which was implemented in collaboration with Migrol. This innovation enabled users to activate and pay for the gas pump directly via the app, which makes the refueling process significantly easier.
- This was followed by the introduction of Switzerland's first kilometre-based insurance solution, developed in collaboration with Simpego (formerly Dextra). This insurance allows car drivers to pay only for the kilometers actually driven — a further step towards efficient and cost-saving mobility.
- Another important milestone was the recognition of the autoSense digital logbook by the Swiss tax authorities in 2019. This recognition makes expense reporting significantly easier and offers users a compliant and practical solution.
- The year 2020 brought a collaboration with EasyPark, which enabled users to automatically stop the payment process when parking as soon as the vehicle leaves. This not only saves money but also time.
- In 2021, the first white label apps were developed, including the Migrol Card and CO2 compensation based on effective consumption and mileage for B2C customers.
- Zurich Insurance's second white label app “Z Volt” was successfully launched in 2022.
- Also in 2022: Zurich MyWay, Switzerland's new innovative motor vehicle insurance, is being launched.
- The next white label app with telematics data for AMAG Retail will follow at the end of 2022/beginning of 2023.
- At the beginning of 2023, FleetCharge, the modular e-charging solution for companies, which will then be significantly further developed and expanded over the course of time.
- With the e-vignette subscription for private and corporate customers, the next innovative solution follows.
- Charge:ON, the white label solution for e-charging by companies and private individuals, will be developed for Helion at the beginning of 2024.
- Zurich will also be launching a white label app from autoSense in 2024. The focus is on mobility.
- and it remains exciting...
outlook
The success of autoSense is not only based on technological innovations, but also on flexibility and the willingness to respond to customer feedback. The continuous development of products and services, based on user feedback, is a central part of the company's philosophy.
autoSense's journey is far from over. The company plans to continue to expand in the areas of electric mobility and eCharging, expand its refueling and charging network and develop further white label apps. The overall goal remains to make mobility more efficient, safer and more convenient.
The autoSense team is looking forward to the challenges ahead and the joint journey with its customers and partners.
