Ecolane marked its 20th anniversary as an industry provider of intelligent web-based transit scheduling software.  

Ecolane was founded in Finland more than two decades ago with its dynamic rideshare platform and later introduced it to the U.S. market. Since then, the company has worked to grow its presence and increase its client base for the on-demand transit scheduling industry. 

Ecolane says it is a company built on the belief that cultivating mobility for all is essential. This means developing innovative, easy-to-deploy, on-demand transit scheduling software that enables transit providers to increase productivity, streamline efficiency and provide outstanding client satisfaction.  

“As we celebrate this milestone, we are proud of the achievements we’ve made, and we look forward to the next 50 years of innovations,” said Spiro Gjorgjievski, president, Ecolane. “We’ve seen a lot of changes over the years and are happy to provide transit agencies with the technology they need to fulfill their vision to serve their communities and enhance the rider experience.” 

As Ecolane kicks off its 21st year, the company reflects on some of its recent achievements including a newly launched INSIGHT by Ecolane, an AI powered business intelligence tool that enables transit agencies to understand riding patterns so they can better plan for their future demand and optimize fleet operations. 

The platform helps agencies to improve responsiveness in real-time by bridging the gap between scheduling, planning and billing, all while helping with timely and accurate pick up and drop off times for customers. 

“We believe in the future of free and sustainable mobility, centered on inclusive experiences that foster community relationships,” said Gjorgjievski. “In the spirit of collaboration, we are proud to work alongside multiple stakeholders, riders, drivers, dispatchers, managers and shift supervisors to build a product roadmap that will enhance innovation, safety and security of all participants.” 

The company says it will continue expanding sales in the U.S. and Canada, while also exploring opportunities in other geographies, and developing Ecolane’s next-generation multi-modal platform.
