We are all well-known with the use of the Uber platform, which delivers easy and quick taxi rides. For the more sportive people among us, there is the Mobike available to rent. But, what if you do not feel like cycling and still want to go in a cheap way to the other side of the city, while looking at the surroundings? You can now use Felyx!

Felyx introduced the concept of electronic scooter sharing. They released their business in August 2017. It is the first scooter sharing system in the Netherlands. They started their trial in Amsterdam with a few scooters. It happened to be a huge success and now there are 108 scooters available in Amsterdam. In total they have invested over 4 million euros in the business, which gave them the opportunity to expand to Rotterdam. They launched the scooters in Rotterdam on October 1st and now there are 324 scooters available there.

The app is connected to an innovative platform and is very easy in its use. To start using the app you only need to make an account and registering your driver’s license. When your license is approved you can start using the app. You open the app and select the e-scooter which, most likely, is closest to you, hit the start button and you can go touring around in the city. In exchange of driving the scooter you have to pay 30 cents per minute. Which means you can tour through Amsterdam or Rotterdam for only a few euros, which is much cheaper than using a taxi and you can enjoy a great view of the city!

The founders did a detailed research on all the data available on scooters and found that the Felyx scooter is the best e-scooter on the market. The hardware and software that has been used for the scooter on which all the applications run, has been developed until perfection. The demand for the scooters is more than that is available, one of the founders said that they are “at the top of the European market”. There are a lot of capabilities, potentials for growth and many options for innovation. The way they designed their company gives them the opportunity to immediately adapt changes.

Do you know the feeling that you pay for other people and you have to wait for such a long time before you receive your money back? Sometimes that must be a really frustrating feeling! Luckily, the Dutch bank ABN AMRO found a way to easily request and receive money without exchanging your bank account details. They released Tikkie, a free mobile payment app, in the middle of 2016. In only one week they had over 25.000 users and currently they have over 3 million. These users have already exchanged an abundantly amount of 1 billion euros in two years.

Multiple other Dutch banks created add-ons in their mobile apps for payment requests, but they are not even close to the success of Tikkie. Tikkie has reached this year a market share of 86%. However they want more. The past year they started to cooperate with a few supermarkets, a big airline and 540 other companies, which increased Tikkie user base and their database. The leap in the amount of customers makes it possible for Tikkie to become THE payment method in the retail industry. The managing director of Tikkie, Freek de Steenwinkel, believes that volume is the most important objective to become the number one player in the retail market with their mobile payment system.

Looking at the speed and convenience of the app, more and more companies have added Tikkie as one of the possible payment options. The companies see the advantages of the app. They receive their payments in time, have an option to personalize their pages and they can easily look online at their payment overview. This ease of the use of Tikkie increases the ties with the companies with their users, but likewise Tikkie improves their customer relationships by delivering an app that gives a lot of ease on financial controlling. Tikkie stands at the beginning of a huge upcoming success. I believe that in less than a year Tikkie will be expanding to multiple other countries, so everyone can enjoy the ease of Tikkie.
