ATOM Mobility launches a unique product - micromobility academy

min. read
ATOM mobility, the company that helps to build a micromobility business, has just launched the ATOM Academy. The goal is to educate people, who are willing to start a business in this specific field or improve operations.
“The whole idea of ATOM is to provide more than just software. And the ATOM Academy is one step closer to the goal. We want to educate our customers, as well as provide them with an understanding of what is available out there and how all these technologies can help them to be more efficient in their business,” says Jürgen Sahtel, Head of the ATOM Academy.
The content is based on extensive knowledge of various industry leaders as well as ATOM's own insights from operating the first scooter-sharing business in Riga, Latvia. Moreover, during the process of creating the academy program, ATOM interviewed its customer base so it got valuable feedback about what its customers would be interested in. However, the focus is on topics that could save customers time and money in this business.
Help for beginners, valuable at any stage
At first, the idea was that the ATOM Academy would be a great help to ATOM customers. Most of them are at a very early stage - they buy software and hardware from the manufacturer. However, maybe they still don’t know exactly how to run this business. The ATOM Academy is there to help them figure it out: “There are situations in which entrepreneurially-minded people visit a city and see scooters. Then they go back to their city and decide that vehicle sharing should also be available in their small community. So how can they make this happen? In most cases, they don't know anything about procedures or best practices or what is actually needed to make this scenario a reality. The ATOM Academy is intended to help with that. So when a new customer comes along, he can have a blueprint to follow based on industry standards and knowledge, as well as contacts of people that might help,” says Jürgen.
The content is tailored for all stages of companies, including larger ones that want to expand their businesses to different cities and countries. All the content at ATOM Academy is available in video format through the website. There are currently three blocks of content - getting started, launching and operations, as well as optimization and growth. Overall, 15+ units are available with an average length of 35 minutes, so it would take few weeks to a month to go through all ATOM Academy courses. It is recommended that participants watch at least one video in two days and take notes. Afterward, it is possible to arrange a meeting with Jürgen at any time to discuss questions that arise along the way.
Industry experts available free of charge
All lectures are in the format of conversations with the leading experts in shared micromobility. They have all launched successful businesses in the field. For example, Polina Mikhaylova is a co-founder of KNOT - the company that designs, produces, and installs docking stations for scooter services. Sébastien Marteau is responsible for business development at Fluctuo. The company aggregates more than 200 shared-mobility fleets and provides insights into a target city's shared mobility metrics and trends allowing operators to prepare successful launches. Please visit the ATOM Academy website, where you will find the list of experts.
And that's not all. Jürgen says that since the shared mobility industry is evolving fast, there will be new ways to optimize the operations, and the ATOM Academy will make sure to keep its students up to date. “For example, now MaaS is a big thing. In addition, we have created a feedback system for ATOM Academy users so they are able to provide feedback about subjects they would like to know more about,” says Jürgen. Furthermore, he emphasizes that all this content could be useful for those still considering setting up a micromobility sharing business.
The ATOM Academy is free of charge for existing customers. “But, if there is someone, who is seriously considering starting a business then, we have an option to offer to go through the ATOM Academy content with a small one-time investment, which will later be deducted from the software price. So it’s an investment as well as a commitment,” explains Jürgen.

New feature: Task manager - Shifts & Operator performance tracking
👷📊 ATOM Task Manager now goes beyond task distribution with new Shifts and Operator Performance functionality. Track shift routes, distance, completed tasks, time per task and individual operator performance - giving fleet managers a much clearer picture of field operations and efficiency.

Managing a large shared mobility or rental fleet isn't only about knowing which tasks were completed. It's also about understanding how efficiently field teams are working. We've significantly expanded ATOM Mobility Task Manager with new Shifts and Performance functionality, giving fleet managers much better visibility into operator activity, workload, routes and performance.
👷 Shifts: See the full picture behind every shift
The new Shifts tab gives managers a centralized overview of all operator shifts, including:
- Shift duration and status
- Distance driven during the shift
- Number of tasks completed
- Average time spent per task
Managers can open any individual shift to see the complete operational picture. For every task, you can see the vehicle, task type, planned start and deadline, actual start and completion times, status and total task duration.
Each shift also includes a map showing the operator's complete movement during the shift and where individual tasks were performed. For shifts currently in progress, managers can also see the operator's current location.
This makes it much easier to understand the actual route, workload and decisions behind each shift — and identify opportunities to improve how field teams manage fleet maintenance and operations.
📊 Performance: Compare operator efficiency over time
The new Performance tab aggregates operational results for every operator over a selected period.
Managers can track:
- Tasks completed
- Distance covered
- Total time worked
- Average time per task
- Performance trends over time
Instead of reviewing hundreds of individual tasks, managers can quickly compare operators, identify top performers and spot areas where additional training or operational improvements may be needed.
📱 Improved Operator app workflow
To make performance data accurate and useful, we've also introduced a new shift and task workflow in the ATOM Operator app. Operators now start and end their shifts directly in the app, while individual task start and completion times are recorded automatically.
We've also added:
- Personal performance statistics with date filtering
- Live shift statistics showing time worked, completed tasks and open tasks
- Mandatory shift start before an operator can begin working on tasks
- Automatic return of unfinished tasks to the available task pool when a shift ends
- Multi-task selection, start and completion for faster task management
🚀 From task distribution to field operations intelligence
Together, these updates turn ATOM Task Manager from a task distribution tool into a much more complete field operations performance and optimization system. Operators get a clearer workflow and visibility into their own performance, while managers get the data they need to understand how their field operations actually work and where they can become more efficient.
The new functionality is available for ATOM Mobility's Vehicle sharing and Digital rental modules.

If you attended our last event, you already know the vibe: ATOM Connect isn’t a crowded trade show or a generic corporate conference.
There are no generic sales pitches, filler keynotes, or surface-level panels. Instead, ATOM Connect brings together a closed, highly curated community of operators, fleet managers, technology partners, and industry leaders to have honest conversations about where the market is moving—and how we’re navigating it together.
Following the positive feedback from our previous summit where leaders and representatives from Bolt, CityBee, ZEUS Mobility, Comodule,Anadue and Datafolio exchanged practical operational insights, we're bringing that same focused format to the car rental sector!

🔍 Where Is the Car Rental Market Today and What’s Next?
The car rental industry is in a fascinating place right now. Established rental operators are testing new digital tools, while app-first fleets are adapting to real-world operational complexities. Rather than picking sides, ATOM Connect Rental 2026 is designed as a space to explore how the whole ecosystem is evolving.
Is the market ready for widespread keyless handovers? How are customer expectations around instant digital onboarding shifting? Where do traditional counter operations and app-based experiences meet in practice?
Throughout the day, we’ll dive into technical keynotes, operational workshops, and open panel discussions covering:
- The Reality of Modern Handovers: How fleets are testing paperless workflows, digital contracts, and remote vehicle access without sacrificing operational control or security.
- Telematics & Keyless Tech: A practical look into CAN-bus integrations, immobilizers, and remote diagnostics with technology partners like Invers.
- Digital Identity & Automated Verification: How AI-driven onboarding tools are helping operators streamline risk management, fraud prevention, and driver verification.
- Dynamic Fleet Yield & Subscription Models: Exploring how flexible rental terms, dynamic pricing, and multi-channel distribution help maximize vehicle utilization.
🔒 A Closed Community of Industry Peers (Why Spots Are Capped)
The true highlight of ATOM Connect is who is in the room. Every participant is an active operator, fleet manager, regional franchise representative, or key technology provider. Whether you run a regional rental fleet, manage operations for a franchise, operate a digital vehicle service, or build software/hardware for the industry, this is your chance to swap real stories and test ideas with peers facing the same daily decisions.
