Integration with Existing Apps

To enhance the accessibility and user experience of our Bike Parking programs, Tandem Mobility offers a robust Software Development Kit (SDK) that enables seamless integration with existing applications, such as city transportation apps, bus pass networks, or other public transportation services. This integration capability ensures that users can interact with our bike containers/sheds/boxes through the same app they use for other mobility services, creating a unified platform for their transportation needs.

The SDK allows for easy synchronization between our secure bike parking system and third-party apps, allowing users to access bike containers/sheds/boxes directly from their preferred mobile applications. Whether it's checking available bike parking spaces, reserving a spot, or unlocking a bike parking container, users can do so without having to switch between different apps, saving time and providing a more convenient experience.

Integration with Bus Pass Network

One of the most powerful aspects of this SDK integration is its ability to link our bike containers/sheds/boxes with existing transportation networks, such as bus pass systems. By leveraging the SDK, cities or transportation agencies can integrate bike parking access with users' bus passes or transit cards, providing a seamless multi-modal transportation experience.

For example, a user who holds a bus pass could use that same pass to access bike containers/sheds/boxes. The integration would enable users to plan their commutes more effectively, combining their bus or public transit rides with bike parking at convenient locations near transit hubs, commercial centers, or residential areas. The SDK ensures that data is shared securely between systems, allowing for efficient payment processing, access management, and real-time availability of parking spaces across multiple modes of transportation.

Enhanced Interoperability and User Convenience

The SDK also provides interoperability across various transportation services, making it easier for cities and transportation networks to offer an integrated and comprehensive mobility solution. By connecting bike containers/sheds/boxes to existing apps, cities can reduce the friction that users typically face when navigating different systems. This integration makes it possible to offer features like:

• Unified Account Access: Users can log into their city’s public transportation app or their bus pass account and directly access bike parking options without needing to manage multiple accounts or credentials.

• Payment Consolidation: Users can make payments for both transit services and bike parking via a single, unified platform, eliminating the need for multiple transactions or payment systems.

• Unified Journey Planning: The integration can allow users to plan their entire journey—from bus or train to bike parking to biking—on a single app. This level of integration supports better route planning, reduces the risk of missed connections, and enhances the overall transportation experience.

Customizable and Scalable Integration

Our SDK is designed to be flexible and scalable to meet the needs of various cities, transit agencies, and service providers. Whether you're integrating with a single app or creating an ecosystem of connected services, our SDK can be tailored to your specific requirements. This integration process can be customized to match the branding, functionality, and user experience of existing apps, ensuring that it feels like a natural extension of the user interface.

Furthermore, as the transportation landscape evolves, our SDK is adaptable, allowing for future updates or new features without disrupting the integration. This ensures that the system remains relevant as new services are introduced, such as electric scooters, car-share services, or new modes of public transit.

Real-Time Data Sharing and Updates

Through SDK integration, real-time data sharing becomes possible across different platforms. This includes the availability of bike parking spaces, the condition of the bike containers/sheds/boxes, and any issues that might affect users, such as maintenance or security concerns. By making this data available through existing transportation apps, cities can improve service reliability and provide timely updates to users, creating a more responsive and user-friendly environment.
