At Shiftmove, we aim to reinvent how companies handle their employees, goods, and services mobility. Today, the landscape of solutions for managing business mobility operations is fragmented, resulting in unnecessary complexity and wasted resources. Individual systems, though useful, lack connectivity, creating data silos that hinder data-driven decisions and business improvement. Our goal is to offer a holistic experience to managing business mobility operations that surpasses the value of traditional methods like mobility sourcing, fleet management, and vehicle tracking. By integrating these aspects, we empower companies to boost profits, cut administrative costs, and deliver top-notch services. We are determined to pioneer a new product category called "mobility operations software." By using cutting-edge technology and both proprietary customer data and broader ecosystem data, our solutions automate processes, support strategic decision-making, and help companies adapt to emerging mobility trends. Furthermore, we believe that true success involves not only delivering excellent products and services but also creating a culture that nurtures employee growth and well-being. Our aim is to cultivate Shiftmove as a dynamic environment that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and empowers each individual to reach their full potential. We unify product Champions in one group. Shiftmove is the new home of Vimcar and Avrios. Vimcars logbook, with over 10 years of market experience, is TÜV-certified for data protection, tax office compliant, and endorsed by over 9,000 tax advisors.
