Lisa Solutions and TXED (Xiangjin) Announce Strategic Partnership for Global Reach

Dutch staffing company E&A Uitzendbureau has selected LISA Solutions to manage its employee bicycle fleet, introducing connected fleet management, digital bike reservations and a new e-bike pilot.

With a portfolio of approximately 2,500 bicycles, E&A provides transportation for international employees travelling between their accommodation and workplaces across the Netherlands.

By encouraging employees to cycle to work, E&A also promotes a healthier and more sustainable way of commuting. Cycling provides an opportunity for daily physical activity while helping reduce reliance on car transportation.

The company has more than 30 years of experience in recruitment and workforce services, where helping employees get to work reliably is an important part of its operations.

E&A has chosen LISA to support both conventional bicycles and e-bikes, starting with a planned deployment of 600 bicycles and the possibility of expanding across its wider fleet.

Making bicycle access easier for employees

A key part of the solution is making it easier for employees to find and reserve bicycles for their daily commute.

Through LISA, employees will be able to check bicycle availability and make reservations digitally. E&A’s fleet administrators will have an overview of reservations, vehicle usage and maintenance needs across different locations.

Both conventional bicycles and e-bikes are planned to have IoT connectivity, giving E&A GPS-based fleet visibility and location information. Connected e-bikes can also provide battery status and additional vehicle data, depending on the hardware.

This will allow E&A to manage its different bicycle types through one system, rather than separate processes for reservations, fleet administration and vehicle monitoring.

E&A prepares to introduce e-bikes

E&A is also preparing to pilot electric bicycles as an additional transport option for employees. The pilot will explore whether e-bikes can make longer commutes easier and offer a practical alternative to conventional cycling.

LISA will provide the software for reservations, fleet monitoring and administration, helping E&A evaluate whether to expand its e-bike offering.

A new market for LISA Solutions

LISA already provides fleet management software to shared mobility operators across international markets. The collaboration with E&A brings that technology into workforce mobility, where bicycles are managed for employees rather than public rental customers.

Staffing agencies, logistics companies and industrial employers often manage transportation between accommodation and workplaces. These operations need many of the same tools used in shared mobility, but adapted to employee access, recurring journeys and internal fleet administration.

LISA sees workforce mobility as a natural extension of its existing platform and an opportunity to support more organizations managing employee transportation.

“We are grateful for the trust Bas and the E&A team have shown in choosing LISA. Managing reliable transportation for employees is an important responsibility, and we appreciate the opportunity to support them. This partnership is also an important step for LISA as we enter workforce mobility. We see opportunities to combine fleet management with AI to help companies manage employee transportation more efficiently. We’re looking forward to working closely with E&A and building a long-term partnership.”

LISA Solutions is entering the African market as Nigerian bike sharing company ECO LANE selects the LISA fleet management platform for its electric bicycle operations in Lagos.

The collaboration marks an important step in LISA’s international growth and brings the company’s fleet management technology to Africa for the first time.

ECO LANE will use LISA as the software platform for managing its fleet and supporting its operations as the company develops and grows its bike sharing service.

Starting in Lagos

ECO LANE is starting its operations in Lagos, one of Africa’s largest urban markets.

The company is building an electric bike sharing service with the ambition to make urban transportation more accessible and sustainable. Technology and fleet data will play an important role in how ECO LANE manages the operation and develops the service as it grows.

Ibrahim Hammed Olalekan, Director at ECO LANE, commented:

“At ECO LANE, our goal is to build a reliable, accessible and technology-driven mobility fleet that makes urban transportation more convenient and sustainable for our customers. We are focused on creating a scalable fleet operation supported by the right technology, data and operational infrastructure to deliver a seamless experience for riders.

We see our collaboration with LISA as an important part of this vision. LISA’s platform provides the technology backbone we need to manage and scale our fleet efficiently, while giving us the flexibility to develop a mobility solution suited to the realities of the Nigerian market. So far, we have found the collaboration constructive and solution-oriented, and we look forward to building a long-term partnership as ECO LANE grows.”

Supporting Operators in Emerging Markets

For LISA, the collaboration is about more than entering a new country. Africa and other emerging markets are an important part of the company’s international strategy.

Many cities in these markets are growing quickly, while local operators are building new mobility services around the needs of their own cities and communities. LISA wants to give these operators access to flexible fleet technology that can support them from launch through growth.

Alexander Mythe, CEO of LISA Solutions, said:

“Entering the African market is an important milestone for LISA. From the beginning, our ambition has been to build a fleet management platform that can support operators across very different markets, and ECO LANE is a strong example of that.

Africa and other emerging markets are particularly important to us. These are markets where cities are growing rapidly and where new mobility operators have the opportunity to build modern, technology driven operations from the ground up. We believe LISA can play an important role by giving these operators access to the same flexible and scalable fleet technology as operators in more established markets.

We are thrilled to start this collaboration with ECO LANE. Ibrahim and his team have a clear ambition for how bike sharing can contribute to more accessible and sustainable urban mobility in Nigeria, combined with a strong understanding of what it takes to build an operation for the local market. That combination of ambition, local knowledge and willingness to innovate is exactly what we look for in a partner.

Starting this journey in Lagos makes it even more exciting. We are entering one of Africa’s largest urban markets together with an ambitious local operator, and we see significant potential in what ECO LANE is building. We look forward to supporting Ibrahim and the ECO LANE team as they launch, develop and scale their operations in Lagos and beyond.”

Technology for a Growing Operation

LISA provides the software ECO LANE will use to manage its vehicles and day to day fleet operations.

The platform brings fleet management into one operating environment and can connect with different vehicles and IoT hardware. This gives ECO LANE the flexibility to build an operational setup suited to its requirements in Nigeria while using the same core LISA technology deployed in other international markets.

As the operation grows, the platform can support ECO LANE in managing a larger fleet without having to replace the underlying software infrastructure.

Expanding LISA’s Global Footprint

LISA has grown from its Nordic origins to work with customers and partners across Europe, the United States, Oceania and the Caribbean.

ECO LANE now extends that footprint into Africa.

For LISA, Nigeria represents both a new market and the beginning of a broader ambition to work with mobility operators in emerging markets. The focus with ECO LANE is now on building a successful operation in Lagos and developing the partnership as the company grows.
