Cubic’s UMO app is a state-of-the-art mobility platform designed to simplify urban transportation by integrating various modes of transport into a single, user-friendly interface. Looking for a new partner, and to enhance UMO’s functionality and provide comprehensive journey planning, Cubic decided to team up with SkedGo. Leveraging our advanced journey planning technology, we helped to significantly boost the app’s capabilities and user experience.
