The story of Shiftmove is a tale of two European fleet management leaders, Vimcar and Avrios, coming together to forge a new path in mobility operations. What began as separate journeys—Vimcar founded in 2013 and Avrios in 2015—converged in 2023 through a landmark merger, giving birth to Shiftmove. This strategic union was driven by a shared vision: to radically simplify the complexities of managing company vehicles and to create a singular, holistic platform for businesses across Europe. Backed by the prominent technology and software-focused private equity firm, Battery Ventures, Shiftmove embarked on a mission to build award-winning SaaS solutions that would redefine the industry. The company set out to tackle the fragmented landscape of mobility management, where businesses often juggled multiple systems, leading to inefficiencies and wasted resources. The goal was to eliminate data silos and streamline processes, freeing up companies to focus on what truly matters: enhancing profitability and delivering exceptional service.
From its headquarters in Berlin, Germany, Shiftmove has cultivated a diverse and dynamic team of over 350 individuals from more than 35 countries. This international and open-minded group is the driving force behind the company's innovation. Their collective commitment is to build a better future for their clients by pioneering a new category of 'mobility operations software.' By leveraging cutting-edge technology, including AI-supported software and intelligent connected solutions, Shiftmove integrates fleet management, GPS tracking, and digital logbooks into one powerful, user-friendly interface. This integrated approach empowers companies to automate manual tasks, gain real-time insights into their fleet's activity, ensure legal compliance, and make data-driven strategic decisions. With an ambitious goal to have over one million vehicles managed by their software by 2027, Shiftmove is not just a software provider but a strategic partner helping businesses navigate the evolving world of mobility, reduce costs, and transition towards more sustainable transportation.
