SaaS platform for public transit ticketing, real-time vehicle tracking, and passenger data
Matawan operates a multi-layered SaaS platform serving transit agencies globally—ticketing and fare collection, CAD/AVL (computer-aided dispatch and automatic vehicle location), and passenger information systems. The tech stack reflects a mobile-first, real-world operations focus: Kotlin and Java for Android apps, NFC and Bluetooth for contactless payments, GPS for vehicle tracking, all backed by GCP and Salesforce. With 330+ transit authorities as customers and an engineering-to-sales hiring mix tilted toward technical roles, the company is actively scaling platform capacity while pushing into new geographies.
Matawan develops SaaS software for public transit agencies to manage ticketing, fleet operations, and passenger communications. The platform spans Account-Based Ticketing (ABT), contactless and EMV payments, real-time vehicle tracking (AVL), and data intelligence for route optimization and ridership insights. Deployed across 330+ transit authorities worldwide, the product operates in a B2G (business-to-government) market where sales cycles are long and procurement is complex. The company is headquartered in Mâcon, France, with a workforce of 201–500, and is currently focused on acquiring new government clients and expanding geographic reach.
Matawan integrates NFC, Bluetooth, and EMV transit payment standards into its Android and Kotlin-based mobile apps, enabling contactless fare collection across multiple payment methods.
