Run the fleet. We will run the software.
Building a micromobility platform takes years and most attempts fail at the point where the software has to actually control the hardware. If you want to operate scooters in your market, that part is already done.
What an operator partnership is.
You operate a Scoteri fleet in a defined market. Scoteri supplies the rider app, the vehicle control layer, the geofencing engine and the operations back office, plus the support to get you running. You supply the thing software cannot: presence on the ground.
What you bring.
An operator partnership is a division of labour, and this is your half.
Local logistics
Somewhere to store and charge vehicles, and the vans and people to move them around.
A field team
The daily work: charging, redistribution, retrieving vehicles that end up somewhere awkward.
Maintenance capability
Someone who can service a scooter properly, whether in-house or through a workshop you trust.
Market knowledge
Which districts matter, which streets a scooter should never be on, and who in the city needs to say yes.
Local relationships
Municipal contacts, property owners and the practical permissions that a foreign operator would spend a year finding.
Commitment to operate properly
A badly run fleet damages the brand for every other market. This is the part that is not negotiable.
What Scoteri supplies.
All of it built and running against real vehicles, not a roadmap.
The rider app
Map, unlock, ride, park and pay, with parking photos and an in-app wallet.
The vehicle control layer
Connected scooters, confirmed remote unlock, GPS telemetry and automatic night headlights.
The geofencing engine
No-ride, no-parking and speed-limit zones, drawn by you and enforced on the vehicle.
The operations back office
Fleet, zones, rides, parking photo review, wallet and ledger, rider verification, fault reports and audit log.
Setup and technical support
Getting your fleet connected, your zones drawn and your team able to use the system.
Inside the back office
- Fleet register
- Every vehicle, its state, its last known position and its service history in one place.
- Zone editor
- The operations team draws no-ride, no-parking and slow zones on the map. Changes reach the scooters without a fleet update.
- Ride oversight
- The full lifecycle of every ride, including end-of-ride parking photos waiting for review and rides that needed recovery.
- Wallet and ledger
- Riders keep a balance in the app, every fare is deducted from it, and every movement is recorded in a transaction ledger.
- Rider verification
- Identity documents are reviewed before a rider can unlock, with face matching to link the document to the account.
- Audit log
- Administrative actions are written to an append-only log, so any change to a rider, a vehicle or a balance can be traced to a person.
- Fault and parking reports
- Riders report a damaged scooter or a badly parked one from the app, and the vehicle can be pulled from service before anyone else takes it.
- Support and notifications
- In-app messaging with riders, and targeted notifications for service changes.
Commercial terms.
Operator questions.
Either can work, and it is one of the main things that shapes the commercial terms. An operator who funds their own fleet has a very different deal from one who does not.
Erbil is Scoteri’s own first market. Beyond that, we are open to conversations about most cities in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region, and will consider markets further afield where the partner is strong.
No, but you need experience running physical operations. The hard part of this business is vans, batteries, storage and staff, not scooters specifically.
The rider-facing service is Scoteri. That is what keeps the rider experience and the safety behaviour consistent across markets, which is also what makes it defensible with a city.
It depends on the city’s density and the vehicle cost. We would rather work it out with you against your actual market than publish a number that sounds authoritative and is not.
