ioki Route check-in: spotlight on our latest product innovation
ioki Route is the newest addition to the ioki product family. This innovative solution includes the ioki Route App, a navigation tool, and ioki Route Control, a route management application, both specifically designed for line-based bus transport. ioki Route has now been around for over half a year and has achieved significant milestones since the product launch: Let’s take a look back.
What have we achieved?

The team has successfully attracted numerous new customers in Germany, sparked early interest from international transport companies, and witnessed a consistent rise in user numbers:

3 countries

Transport companies in 3 countries are now regularly using ioki Route.

Free trial period

The free trial period has been particularly well received: Bus operators in Germany, Austria, Italy and the UK have been testing ioki Route.

800 navigations

Our app has guided drivers nearly 800 times in just one month.

What do transport companies say?

Customers praise the simple and intuitive user interface of ioki Route, which allows for easy integration into existing processes and efficient training of new drivers. The capability to update routes in real-time is a crucial feature, facilitating easy communication with drivers.

We continue to develop after the product launch

Our development team continuously works to enhance ioki Route, focusing on making the design more user-friendly, improving existing functions, and introducing new features. We stay committed to innovation, always aligning with market needs, just like we did when we first developed ioki Route. Newly developed features include:

Multiple languages: 20 languages are now available in the ioki Route App and ioki Route Control supports 10. This makes it easier for drivers to get started, especially important given the global recruitment due to staff shortages.

ioki Route App for tablets: The new landscape format allows for convenient use on Android tablets.

Preview mode in the app: drivers can view routes from anywhere, aiding in training or refreshing knowledge of less frequently driven routes.

Automated checking of predefined routes: The system automatically detects possible errors such as missing turning points, incorrect route navigation or inaccurate positions of stops.

Duplicate routes: This feature simplifies and speeds up the creation of alternative routes.

The past few months with ioki Route have been characterised by progress and positive feedback. We are committed to maintaining this momentum and look forward to further exciting and pioneering developments with ioki Route!
