The company has not only provided innovative solutions to modernize the city's transport infrastructure, but has also played a crucial role in optimizing the experience of millions of visitors from all over the world.

In response to strong anticipated demand, Flowbird has delivered 100 new automatic ticket vending machines to RATP, the capital's public transport operator. Equipped with large touch screens and advanced functionalities, these vending machines have enabled users to choose and pay for their tickets with unprecedented ease. Accepting a variety of payment methods, including cash and credit cards, these vending machines made a significant contribution to smoothing access to the different modes of public transport during the event.

Modernization of the transport infrastructure was essential to accommodate the influx of visitors and ensure a seamless experience. The new vending machines, installed in metro and tramway stations, were not only accessible, but also equipped with an improved audio system to facilitate use by all users, including those with reduced mobility.

Preparation and safety: a priority

As Hakima Kadri-Dahmani, the group's Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) points out, cybersecurity was a major issue throughout the preparations for the Games. France, as host, was becoming a prime target for cybercriminals, making it essential to implement rigorous security measures. Flowbird ensured that its information systems were not only efficient, but also resilient in the face of potential threats.

The company implemented strict access policies and made its employees aware of the importance of data security, guaranteeing the protection of user information and the security of financial transactions. This attention to cybersecurity was crucial in ensuring visitors' confidence in the mobility solutions offered during the Games.

A lasting legacy

Beyond the event itself, Flowbird's impact on the Paris Olympic Games also lies in the sustainability of the infrastructure put in place. The new mobility solutions will contribute to the long-term fluidity of public transport, providing a positive legacy for the city and its inhabitants.

With its commitment to innovation, safety and accessibility, Flowbird has not only responded to the immediate challenges posed by the Olympic Games, but has also strengthened its position as the partner of choice for urban communities in their quest for intelligent mobility. The success of this collaboration marks a turning point in the way major events can be managed, with user experience and safety at the heart of the concerns.
