Dashdoc was created in September 2017 by Benoit Joncquez, Corentin Smith and Arthur Ouaki and we are the first SaaS road transport software system in France. In 2018 we sold our first app Truckfly to Michelin in order to invest in Dashdoc. It then had over 100k MAU. At Dashdoc, we believe that having better access to the transport data from the shipping order until the billing is a basic need. Because it is a professional challenge and a poorly digitalized sector, it should be super simple and user-friendly. We challenge the actual solutions by crafting beautifully designed tools that help our users to gather all road transport orders data, take the right decisions and share it with other stakeholders, with minimal effort. Focused on user-experience, Dashdoc centralizes all data and automates all processes from a transport order from the shipping order up to the billing. We help our customers order faster, access information better, bill faster and share all information.

Heetch is an urban mobility app providing the coolest ride experiences to enjoy in big cities. We launched Heetch in 2013 because we wanted to explore the rising alternative nightlife in Parisian suburbs. Since we needed a ride, we simply created a ride-sharing app full of good vibes, music, and candy… Pretty simple, don’t you think? Our goal was to enable a whole generation to express themselves through partying, socialising and exploring a town’s possibilities. We aimed to provide a mobility solution allowing people to move around the city in an affordable yet reliable way by turning a moment as simple as a ride into an unexpectedly positive experience. 6 years later, a few things have changed: we are now operating in 3 different countries and count more than 2 million users… Nevertheless, making each ride experience unique for passengers and fairer for drivers is still our daily challenge.

Existing modes of transportation consists of four types: rail, road, water, and air. These tend to be either relatively slow (road and water), expensive (air), or a combination of relatively slow and expensive (rail). The Hyperloop is a new mode of transport that seeks to disrupt this paradigm by being fast, safe, efficient, and sustainable. The rLoop Hyperloop pod uses an active magnetic levitation system to hover, eliminating the rolling resistance and related energy losses of wheels. The pod operates in the Hyperloop tube, which is a controlled environment with reduced air pressure, eliminating almost all air resistance. The result is a system that is safe, sustainable, and efficient.
