For companies

For cities and municipalities

Welcome to highQ

Intelligent solutions and high quality in both mobility and controlling – that is what the highQ name has represented for over 20 years. With our innovative software solutions, we support companies, municipalities and financial institutions in the effective planning, implementation, optimisation and controlling of their tasks. Our IT solutions make public transport more fluid and environmentally friendly, ensure greater transparency in real estate projects and identify improvement potential in corporate structures and processes. We’ll be pleased to do the same for you – we look forward to your inquiry!

Software solutions from highQ

Mobility platform

Environmentally friendly mobility for all. The highQ mobility platform combines transportation offerings from different providers and additional services in a single marketplace concept and makes them available to users via an app (e.g. mytraQ) for flexible, multimodal use. The platform also provides intermodal real-time routing information, thus making traffic movements more flexible.

An optional incentive function (“time miles”) further motivates road users to choose an environmentally friendly mode of transport.

Mobility assistants

The ideal app for everyone. High quality smartphone-based mobility assistants help both road users and transport companies with their daily journeys. Whether timetable information in real time (PlanB App), information and ticket purchasing (mytraQ), ticket sales and monitoring (highQ TicketApp) or multimodal routing for relaxed commuting to and from the workplace – public transport users, drivers, inspectors and companies all benefit from our user-friendly highQ assistants.

Planning & scheduling

Good planning is essential. With its versatile and user-friendly tools for the planning and optimisation of vehicle rotations and duty rosters (PlanB), as well as for personnel scheduling (moveo Dispo), highQ enables efficient, cost-saving processes in transport companies. Our solutions can be freely scaled and are therefore just as suitable for small, regional bus operations as they are for metropolitan transport networks with hundreds of thousands of customers.

Ticketing

Seamless data flow. From ticket sales (highQ TicketApp) to billing (fare.logiQ), highQ software solutions ensure efficient fare management at all levels and for all ticket types, from classic paper tickets to e-tickets. Even the collection and billing of increased transport charges (EBE) can now be done via smartphone (Control App). A network solution (IONgate) compliant with the eTicket Germany standard guarantees smooth data exchange even in interoperable, cross-network operations.

Subscription administration

Convenience for everyone involved. Subscriptions managed in highQ TicketOffice are conveniently accessible via web interfaces for both passengers and service employees of the transport company. Customers can renew their subscriptions themselves at any time without having to go to a customer centre, while the transport company retains a clear overview at all times. In this way, highQ’s electronic ticket booth ensures both satisfied passengers and relaxed employees.

Banking

Keeping track of the numbers. The systematic processing of property developer loans with abakus^BT optimises processes, saves resources and increases security. Impending credit risks become immediately visible. Optimised for use in banks and savings banks, the programme impresses with its practical relevance and versatile functions. The same applies to abakus^RE, the software package for asset owners. It supports banks, landlords and real estate companies in the efficient management of their property portfolios.

Mobility

Control is better – and extremely simple with highQ. In the highQ mobility cockpit, you can monitor the steering effect of traffic flows via the mobility platform and the take-up of incentive measures (“time miles”) at any time, and modify them as necessary. Municipalities and companies that want to convince their residents or employees of the advantages of environmentally friendly mobility gain valuable insights in this way.

Fare management

Revenue security without risks and failures. We offer transport companies and associations effective tools for managing their fares (fare.logiQ) and for levying higher transport charges (Control App). We also provide support and advice to transport associations, as well as the highQ-EAV module for the introduction of dynamic, sales-data-based revenue distribution processes. In this way, all participants in the network can be certain of receiving their fair share of revenues.

Revenue protection

Collaborations

The whole is more than the sum of its parts – that is why we at highQ don’t do everything on our own, but maintain long-term collaborations with external partners, organisations and other companies. The broad perspective and the many suggestions we receive when we look beyond the horizon are incorporated into our solutions so that you, our customers, can fully benefit. If you are interested in collaborating with us, please feel free to get in touch.

Research

The key is being able to detect developments before they become obvious. To maintain and extend our innovation leadership, we regularly participate in important research projects. For example, iin Erfurt for the networking and use of the latest mobility approaches through artificial intelligence (Bauhaus.MobilityLAB) and a flexible and demand-oriented public transport system in Potsdam, Cottbus and Hannover (MaaS L.A.B.S.) In recognition of our commitment, we received the “Innovative Through Research 2020” seal of approval from the Stifterverband der Deutschen Wissenschaft (Donors’ Association for the Promotion of Sciences and Humanities in Germany).

Awards

We’re awesome! In all modesty, we would never claim that ourselves; but many leading institutions and experts have judged our work to be worthy of an award. We owe many of these accolades to our partnership with both our customers and with the scientific research community. In 2020, in recognition of our research activities, we received the “Innovative Through Research” seal of approval from the Donors’ Association of German Science.

Software generation

Automated, model-driven software development enables lower costs and reduced development times. The Virtual Developer tool provided by our development technology partner Generative Software GmbH allows recurring, similar development tasks to be unified in individual models, allowing corresponding generators to automatically generate reliable and specific software. In this way, you avoid frequently time-consuming and error-prone manual programming. At the same time, your software is ready for use more quickly, of higher quality and easier to maintain.

Incentivisation

Rewarding environmentally friendly behaviour. By using appropriate incentive measures, individual mobility behaviour in terms of traffic mode, route and time can be steered in the desired direction through non-material, monetary and virtual incentives. By means of a regional bonus system with a supporting gamification component, our partner company Zeitmeilen AG presents users with alternatives to their usual mobility behaviour.

History

Then a revolution, today a matter of course: the e-ticket for public transport. As early as 1998, two years after founding highQ Computerlösungen GmbH in Freiburg, we introduced an electronic ticket on a chip card at the regional public transport company SBG SüdbadenBus. One year later, this innovation won us the German Public Transport Innovation Award 1999.
