One of the main advantages of using the ATOM Mobility software for your business are the generous customization options. You can tailor ATOM's robust solution to your brand's needs and requirements, allowing it to express your identity loud and clear.
But, for mobility services, it's not just about company branding – it's also about adapting to the environment in which your service operates. The appearance, atmosphere, payment types, and incentives offered should be specifically tailored to align with the preferences and demands of the particular market.
Customization is crucial for business success, as it allows you to become recognizable and memorable and win the hearts of locals. So, how can you do that with the ATOM Mobility app? Is branding the only thing you can customize? Read on to find out!
Creating an app that speaks for you
ATOM Mobility makes app customization incredibly simple and efficient via a powerful operator's (that's you!) dashboard. Besides customization and setting configuration, the dashboard allows you to manage your fleet, team, and customer demands all in one place. You can track your vehicles in real-time, check out customer heat maps and analytics, and more.
But when it comes to the customization of your customer or rider app, here's an overview of all the things you can do to create a unique mobility solution.
Branding
Customizing the ATOM Mobility app starts with the obvious – adding your branding via the dashboard. That includes:
- Adding your logo
- Adding your specific color scheme
- Adding your splash screen – the first graphical notification a user receives when opening any app
- Tailoring icons – for example, how the vehicles will appear on the app's map

User tutorials
Adding customized user tutorials to your app will make life notably easier for users and your customer support as well. Users will have basic FAQs covered, and your customer support will have more time to deal with complex issues.

You can add boiled-down user tutorials on anything, and they'll appear in a special tutorials section on your app. Here's a list of commonly chosen user tutorials to inspire you:
- How to unlock the vehicle and start the ride
- How to end the ride and park the vehicle
- How to know where you can park the vehicle
- How to understand the app's color scheme of the parking zones
- What are the good practices for riding
- What are the main safety rules of the ride
Moreover, you can tailor user tutorials by adding images, short videos, and custom descriptions. You can also split each tutorial into several steps to make the information easier to digest.
Pricing and special offers
The ATOM Mobility customer app offers a wide range of options for user pricing, allowing you to choose the best packages for your clientele.
With the ATOM Mobility app, you can bill your users in three ways:
- Direct payments via the user's payment card
- Digital wallet-based payments
- A hybrid of the two
Regarding the digital wallet, the top-up process is also customizable. You can pick the top-up amounts, set several top-up levels, or add an auto top-up option – i.e., if a user's digital wallet reaches X amount of money, it gets automatically topped up by Y amount. Moreover, you can set a minimum balance requirement for the digital wallet to avoid debtors.

Additionally, there are several options for calculating the ride's fee. You can:
- Set the pricing per minute, hour, or day
- Add a ride unlock fee – a certain amount charged when the user unlocks the vehicle
- Add mileage-based pricing
- Set a price for when the ride is paused, and more
What's also convenient – the ATOM Mobility app offers the option to add pre-paid subscription packages. There are daily, weekly, or monthly passes available, and you can assign a wide array of credits and deals to each package. For example, any of the app operator's vehicles available for use within the 30-day pass, ten vehicle unlocks + X ride minutes + Y pause minutes available within the daily pass, and more.

Another option available when customizing your app's pricing is setting discounts for vehicles that haven't been used for a certain number of hours. That way, you can promote a more even use of your vehicles.
Parking zones
With ATOM Mobility, you can also customize the vehicle parking zones. This allows you to easily divide your city into areas that are yay or nay for vehicle parking – they'll appear green or red on the app.

Moreover, you can create the so-called bonus zones – if a vehicle is parked there, a user receives an X% discount on their ride. Adding bonus parking zones helps to incentivize vehicle parking in the “hotspots” of the city – beneficial from the business perspective.
Additionally, you can add paid parking zones where parking isn't forbidden, but the users are charged a certain amount if they park there. Again, this allows you to regulate where your vehicles are parked to get that business ball rolling.
It's also possible to add speed limit zones to your solution to help the users follow the maximum allowed speed in the pedestrian zones. While speed limit compliance should come without saying, we all know that speeding occasionally happens, causing unnecessary traffic accident risks.
Customer support – just the way you want it
Excellent and convenient customer support is the next crucial thing for any well-functioning mobility app. With ATOM Mobility, you can add several customer support options to the app's section:
- A shortcut to the user tutorials section
- Embedded FAQ section from your business website
- Email communication – pop-up windows shortcutting to email
- Direct calls communication – pop-up windows shortcutting to, e.g., Whatsapp calls, Messenger calls, regular phone calls
- Live chat option with the native Intercom integration

Automated invoices with a twist
A useful feature offered by the ATOM Mobility software is automated invoices. Whenever users finish their ride, they receive an invoice in their inbox, with no manual work from your side.
What is more, the invoices can be customized as well. You can add your branding – logo, color scheme – and tailor the invoice fields, adding the country's VAT, tax reporting requirements, and more.

Referral programs
It's no secret that referral programs can bring in new customers, increase customer loyalty, improve customer satisfaction, lower customer acquisition costs, and more. ATOM Mobility offers adding a referral program to your unique app so you can nab these and other benefits.
You can set up a promo code that your users can distribute to their friends, who will receive a bonus or a discount for their first ride. The promo code distributors will also receive a bonus in their digital wallet or a discount for their next ride after the newcomer completes their first ride.

An extra module or two
With ATOM Mobility, you don't have to stick to one type of mobility service. You can – and you should – expand your business to other verticals whenever you see the possibility.
That's why ATOM Mobility offers the option to place three business modules on your platform – vehicle sharing, ride-hailing, and digital rental. Expand your services, and become the go-to mobility platform of your city in no time.
Building your mobility business with ATOM Mobility
Now that you know the main customization options that the ATOM Mobility app offers, your next step is to dive into crafting your personalized mobility solution. It won't take you heaps of time – we can launch your personalized software suite in as little as 20 days. Plus, 98% of the app customizations can be done via your app operator dashboard.
Our core, your values, and the best mobility solution for your city is born!

Most taxi companies don’t fail because of tech - they fail because no one knows they exist 👀 In today’s market, competing with Uber isn’t about features, it’s about demand. 📈 No brand, random marketing, “Later” mindset results in low utilization & slow growth. In this article, we break down the most common mistakes - and how to build a marketing system that actually drives rides 🚀
Most taxi and ride-hailing companies don’t fail because of bad technology. They fail because no one knows they exist. In a market shaped by players like Uber, demand is no longer something that “just happens.” It’s engineered. Built. Optimized. Repeated.
Yet many operators still treat marketing as something secondary - something to figure out after the launch, after the fleet is ready, after drivers are onboarded. By then, it’s already too late.
A common pattern we see is this: a company launches with a functional product, maybe even a solid operational setup, but without a clear brand or acquisition strategy. A few campaigns are tested, some budget is spent across different channels, but nothing is consistent. There is no clear positioning, no defined audience, and no system to measure what actually works.
The result is predictable. Growth is slow, utilization stays low, and pressure starts to build. At that point, marketing becomes reactive - driven by urgency rather than strategy. Discounts increase, experiments multiply, and costs rise faster than revenue.
This is where many businesses lose control of their unit economics.
Why bad marketing happens
Poor marketing rarely comes from a lack of effort. It usually comes from wrong priorities. Many operators believe they have more urgent problems to solve - fleet, drivers, operations - and that marketing can wait. It feels logical in the short term, but in reality it’s a short-sighted decision that creates much bigger problems later.
Another common issue is lack of direction. Marketing activities exist, but they are scattered and unstructured. There is no clear target audience, no defined positioning, and no consistent brand language. Without that foundation, even well-funded campaigns struggle to deliver results.
This is where the gap between smaller operators and companies like Uber becomes obvious. The difference is not just budget - it’s clarity. They know exactly who they target, how they communicate, and how they measure success.
Without that clarity, marketing becomes noise. And noise doesn’t convert.
When marketing is treated as optional
In early stages, many companies treat marketing as a “nice to have.” Budgets are allocated to everything else first, and whatever remains is used for promotion - if anything is left at all. The assumption is simple: launch first, invest in marketing later.
The same thinking often leads to another mistake - launching with a weak or non-existent brand. A generic app, no clear identity, no differentiation. It may save money initially, but it creates a much bigger problem: people don’t remember you, and you can’t build demand around something that has no identity.
At some point, reality catches up. Growth is slower than expected, revenues don’t match projections, and pressure builds. That’s when companies switch into reactive mode. Marketing becomes urgent instead of strategic. Discounts increase. Random campaigns are launched. Budgets are spent faster, but results don’t improve. Panic replaces planning - and panic-driven marketing almost never works.
How to build a marketing system that actually works
Forget random marketing. It doesn’t scale. If you want predictable growth, start here:
- Map all key marketing activities needed to generate demand (which 2-3 channels you will use to attract users?)
- Define your target audience and core differentiation (how you are different from others?)
- Set a realistic marketing budget upfront
- Work with professionals who understand mobility (execution matters)
- Focus on a few channels that actually convert
- Track core KPIs: installs → first ride → retention
- Continuously adjust based on real data, not assumptions
The earlier you build this system, the faster you reach profitability.

⚡ Launch faster and integrate anywhere with ATOM Mobility API. Build your own mobility experience without rebuilding the backend. Learn how ATOM Mobility API lets you integrate, customize, and scale faster.
Shared mobility is moving beyond standalone apps. Operators today are expected to integrate into existing ecosystems - from hotel and airport platforms to corporate travel tools and MaaS apps. Building all of that from scratch is slow, expensive, and hard to scale.
That’s why ATOM Mobility offers a fully developed OpenAPI - allowing you to build your own mobility experience on top of a proven backend.
From app to platform
Most mobility solutions are still built as closed systems. That creates friction: integrations take time, custom features require heavy development, and expanding into new channels becomes complicated.
An API-first approach changes this.
Instead of rebuilding core functionality, operators can use ATOM Mobility as the underlying system and build their own layer on top. Booking flows, payments, vehicle control, and operational logic are already there - accessible via API.
What this enables in practice
With API access, mobility can be embedded directly where users already are.
- A ride can be booked from a hotel website. A car can be unlocked through a partner app. A custom frontend can be built for a specific market without touching the backend.
- At the same time, operators can connect their own tools: from internal dashboards to finance and reporting systems (for example, Power BI) creating a more automated and scalable operation.
The result is not just a mobility app, but a flexible system that can adapt to different markets, partners, and use cases.
What you can manage with ATOM Mobility API
🚗 Booking & ride management - search vehicles, reserve and unlock, start and end trips, manage ride status.
💳 Payments & users - create and manage users, handle payments and pricing, access booking history.
🛴 Fleet & operations - vehicle status and location, zones and restrictions, pricing configuration.
🔌 Integrations - connect third-party apps, sync with external systems, automate workflows and more...
Few use cases we already see
1. Embedded mobility in partner platforms
Booking directly from (no app download needed):
- hotel websites
- airport kiosks
- corporate travel portals
- MAAS apps (such as Umob)
2. Custom frontends and apps
Operators build:
- branded web apps
- niche UX flows
- country-specific experiences
All powered by ATOM Mobility backend.
3. IoT and hardware integrations
- sync vehicle data
- control locking/unlocking
4. Automation & internal tools
- reporting dashboards
- finance automation
- customer communication flows
Instead of spending months building core systems, operators can use ATOM API and focus on what actually drives growth - distribution and partnerships.
