Aus abl social federation wird abl solutions

Die abl solutions GmbH (abl) wurde 2013 in Mittelfranken/Nürnberg von Benjamin Akinci gegründet. Ihr Ziel ist es, Kunden einen hochwertigen, zuverlässigen und innovativen WLAN- und Netzwerkdienst anzubieten. Heute ist abl ein Full-Managed-Service-Anbieter von mobilen und stationären WLAN- und Netzwerk-Infrastrukturen im öffentlichen Raum (Öffentliches WLAN und ÖPNV-Vernetzung), aber auch für unternehmenskritische Netzwerke mit hohen Sicherheitsanforderungen. Weitere Schwerpunkte des abl-Portfolios sind Datenanalysekonzepte und Monetarisierungs-Modelle unter Verwendung der Omni-Channel-Management-Platform (OCMP). abl beschäftigt heute 70 Mitarbeiter aus mehr als einem Dutzend verschiedener Nationen, hat Partner in Europa, Asien und den USA, ist DSGVO-konform, bei der Bundesnetzagentur gemeldeter Telekommunikationsdienstanbieter, ein eduroam-registrierter Anbieter sowie ISO-9001- und ISO-27001-zertifiziert.

The OCMP combines a detailed vehicle analysis (OCMP Vehicle Analytics), which determines, among other things, information on utilisation as well as route and line information, with a campaign management tool that delivers targeted marketing campaigns to the passengers' end device. "In this way, we not only provide a wifi connection, the company can also make direct and sustained contact with its passengers," says Akinci. "In addition to real-time success measurements and detailed analyses of passenger behaviour, the integration of potential advertising partners in particular is an efficient tool for refinancing the investment."

The following advantages result for public transport companies and passengers:

Public Transport Companies:

• Improved punctuality and increased efficiency through better route and vehicle planning as well as possible vehicle savings potential.
• Relief of heavily used routes through the use of additional vehicles
• Improved dispatching in the event of disruptions and maintenance work
• Easier planning for construction sites and major events
• Possible refinancing up to cost-neutral operation of the infrastructure through integration of advertising partners
• Playing out exclusive content for customer app users

Passengers:

• Increased punctuality and reliability of the public transport system
• Capacity display of means of transport online and in the customer app, in order to search for alternatives to heavily used vehicles
• Quick and easy connectivity via WLAN without entering personal data

OCMP Smart-Transportation has already been implemented by abl solutions since 2021 in a pilot project with VAG Nuremberg. To date, more than 500 WLAN connections have been installed here in buses, trains and stops. In 2021, the cooperation generated over two million unique users and over 8 million ad impressions. In addition, 22 buses were equipped with 3D sensors to further improve load measurement.

abl solutions supports the "Fiberdays 2022" of the Bundesverband Digitalwirtschaft e.V. as a gold sponsor and has its exhibition stand 513 in Hall North.
