FUNCTIONS & BENEFITS

The journey planner is the most frequently used function of the MENTZ apps. It includes:

Ticketing is a central component of modern apps. But MENTZ apps are not confined to one specific ticketing system. Libraries can be integrated as APIs or combined solutions.

Dynamic, reliable information comes in particularly handy if public transport is not running on schedule. MENTZ apps are made to meet this demand: depending on the type and priority of the incident/delay, push notifications or popup information are quickly made available and alternative journey planning is provided.

Numerous MENTZ apps are available as licences and are designed to seamlessly adapt to the corporate identity of your transport authority. The app has the same basic functions for each customer, but can be customized on the front end.


MENTZ Apps are developed by experienced designers on the basis of the latest technologies. In many areas we have been pioneers of attractive, trend-setting interfaces. In addition to established operating concepts, MENTZ has also worked with innovative patterns. Numerous research projects have provided the opportunity to develop and test new concepts in cooperation with (end) consumers. Our apps offer solutions today that passengers will expect from you tomorrow. – with MENTZ apps your company will be seen as an innovator.

MENTZ apps support the integration of specific map data. This means that customers always control the content and appearance of the app. Zooming, scrolling and rotating can be performed without loss of quality. Detail of building interiors with multiple levels remains consistent. The free wiki world map OpenStreetMap (OSM) is usually used as the database.

With regard to multimodal mobility, transport companies and authorities become mobility providers. MENTZ is there to support you: using our apps, your passengers have an overview of every available mobility option and can book them directly. This works for car- and bike-sharing, for park & ride and for many other offers.
MENTZ does not only develop applications for passengers. We also make B2B-apps keep bus drivers informed about their routes or to receive bookings for on-demand transport; Transport companies can conveniently capture data of their buildings on site.
