"More and more business processes in the mobility and transport sector are taking place digitally. Innovative, customer-oriented mobility concepts and services require simple and reliable handling that guarantees maximum security for all parties. This is the only way to implement future projects economically, securely and for maximum customer satisfaction at the same time. Digital identification plays a central role in this context. We are very much looking forward to the partnership with MotionTools and believe that the interlocking of leading, highly specialized technologies creates future viability for modern concepts," explains Andreas Bodczek, CEO of IDnow.

"Access to best-in-class software enables transportation companies around the world to become digital champions.

The solution is used, by mobility service providers such as EWE Go GmbH, a subsidiary of the energy provider EWE AG. "We were in need of a solution for the legally required process of identification that runs digitally, quickly and reliably. We have achieved this with the integration of IDnow / MotionTools.
