    Insights from Saastock: Scaling in 35 Countries and 6,000 Cities! Yesterday, I had the pleasure of sharing insights on "Building a Global GTM Unicorn" on the Centre Stage at the SaaStock event in Dublin. Alongside Alex Ferrara from Bessemer Venture Partners, we explored the complexities of scaling a vertical SaaS company like Optibus in the dynamic field of public transportation. As we expand globally, our mission remains clear: to make public transportation better. Together. Around the globe. We discussed when to pursue growth across multiple countries and how to effectively manage a diverse product that meets the specific needs of each market - be it through centralized strategies or localized adaptations in functions like marketing, sales, and customer success. A significant focus was on how our technology adapts to different urban landscapes, crucial for our clients in public transportation. Concluding on our values, our global expansion is driven by our commitment to empowering public transportation systems and ensuring every client and team member feels valued and understood. This dedication is central to our mission as we continue to grow. Thank you to Alex for the insightful discussion and to all who attended for your engaging questions and enthusiasm. Your participation inspires our continuous innovation and commitment to improving public transportation systems around the world. #SaaStock2024 #PublicTransportation #SaaS

    Newly Released! Optibus’ Design Automation Tool for Better Bus Displays To make it easier and faster to create better passenger information displays, Optibus is launching ‘Passenger Billboards’, a design automation tool that integrates with Optibus Planning and our new Strategic Planning product. Imagine you’ve just printed hundreds of new bus stop displays, only to discover an error in the service information. It’s a frustrating experience that yields unexpected costs for the service provider and means passengers don’t have the information needed to plan their journey. Passenger Billboards reduces the time, resources, errors, and complexity involved in creating accurate bus displays and keeping materials up-to-date. With just a few clicks, Passenger Billboards helps you: 🔹 Source the most recent service data from Optibus Planning 🔹 Automatically format service data into custom design templates that match your brand guidelines 🔹 Make service information accessible to diverse passengers with multi-language support Optibus Billboards is already on the ground in Austria, where Dr. Richard Gruppe, one of the biggest bus companies in the country and the largest owner-managed operator in the German-speaking region, uses it to create better bus displays for the city of Villach.
