OpenMove in the United States

Giovanni Bonini | 13.05.2021

New success for OpenMove, now increasing its international presence in 11 countries worldwide. With the acquisition of a client in Oregon, OpenMove is now also in the United States.

According to Lorenzo Modena, CEO: “This is a pivotal milestone in the history of OpenMove. The largest software companies are in the USA. Americans have traditionally been attentive to technology and the ways it makes life easier and better. Having acquired a customer in that market is a tangible proof of OpenMove’s technological excellence, combined with the great business development work carried out by our American country manager”.

OpenMove will deploy the best, state of the art technologies for this project, consisting of a multi- channel Account-Based Ticketing (ABT) system, which includes:

Passenger information and ticketing app based on OpenMove WAY;
Tools for inspectors based on OpenMove ACT;
The new console for ticket offices based on a dedicated version of OpenMove ACT;
On-board validators running OpenMove HORA.

According to Lorenzo Modena: “The United States represents an important market that is full of opportunities. Americans have appreciated the true value of software as a central element of a modern ticketing system, which relies exclusively on off-the-shelf devices. This protects the customer’s freedom of choice with regard to hardware, freeing customers from vendor lock-in and reducing the bargaining power of suppliers“.

Beyond the technological aspects, the conquest of new markets is linked to:

the internationalization process in which OpenMove is highly committed;
strengthening of the corporate structure, adopting a managerial business model.
