The stakes
Every day new taxi companies register with their local business registry. From a sole proprietor in Brussels filing for a number to a new fleet operator in Madrid incorporating an SL. In the hours between that registration and the moment the company runs its first ride, commercial time is open. Whoever spots the registration first is the first one at the table.
For a mobility platform with partners in thirty European countries, "first" isn't easy. Those registrations happen in thirty different business registries, in thirty formats, on thirty schedules. Tracking them by hand isn't possible.
The mandate
Uber for Business, with its European HQ on the Amsterdam canal belt and therefore literally our neighbour, had one concrete ask. Deliver every month the newly registered taxi and transport companies from every relevant European market, in one consistent format, ready to drop into their onboarding flow.
Not "transport in general." Specifically: companies with NACE code 4932 for taxi operations and the local equivalents, newly registered in the quarter before delivery, with the contact fields the account managers need to be at the table within a week.
What we deliver
A monthly business-registry feed of newly registered taxi and transport companies across 30+ European markets. Every month, sourced from the official authority in each country. KvK in the Netherlands, Kruispuntbank van Ondernemingen in Belgium, INSEE in France, Bundesanzeiger in Germany, and so on. Normalised into one structure so Uber's data team ingests the feed straight away without writing a new parser per country.
Per company we deliver the company name, the registration number, the registration date, the registered sector code, the statutory address, the director, and where the local registry allows it, a phone and email contact. Enough to make a targeted call within 24 hours of receiving the feed.
What changed
Uber for Business onboards new European taxi companies on average four to six weeks earlier than before the partnership. That saves account managers days of manual searching and saves the platform revenue that would otherwise have gone to competitors. For the newly registered taxi companies, it means they're already running rides via Uber before their letterhead has arrived.
Why it matters
A newly registered company is a commercial opportunity at its freshest. We make sure Uber sees that opportunity in time.
