Raphael Cherrier, cofounder and CEO of Qucit, discussed the company's work in urban mobility and data analytics in two interviews. In a 2021 appearance on Radio Cyclo, he described Qucit's software for managing bike-sharing fleets, including mobile applications and dashboards used by field teams to rebalance stations and perform maintenance. He noted that the company was adding a feature to manage battery replacements for systems where stations do not charge bikes, citing Vélib in Paris as an example where such functionality is unnecessary. He also mentioned that Qucit operates across Europe, North America, and South America. In a 2015 interview for #VirageDigital, Cherrier explained that Qucit, whose name derives from "quantify cities," aims to predict urban mobility patterns using data from city systems and user inputs. He gave examples such as predicting parking availability in Paris or bike availability at nearby stations, and noted that the company had seven permanent employees at the time. He also referenced partnerships with automotive firms and investments in venture funds as part of the broader ecosystem supporting such startups.
