Velogik

Velogik is a French company that provides professional maintenance services for bicycle fleets, working with public and private sector clients to enable cleaner, more sustainable urban mobility. Its team of technicians ensures that fleets remain in perfect working condition, while the company leads the charge in making cycling a practical, eco-conscious transportation choice.

Introduction

In industries like mobility services, where teams rely on shared devices and work across dynamic environments, having complete visibility and control over endpoints is a must. Without a scalable system in place, device management can quickly become an operational bottleneck as the business grows.

Velogik, a French company dedicated to sustainable mobility and professional maintenance for bicycle fleets, faced this exact challenge. As its technician workforce expanded, the need for a consistent, centralized approach to device setup and management became essential. To address this, Velogik turned to Applivery, choosing its Mobile Device Management (MDM) platform to standardize device configurations, reduce IT overhead, and support its growth — all while aligning with its sustainability commitment as a certified B-Corp.

About Velogik

Velogik is a French company specializing in professional maintenance for bicycle fleets, supporting public and private stakeholders in the transition to sustainable urban mobility. The company ensures fleet performance, safety, and availability through a network of qualified field technicians deployed across multiple territories.

As Velogik expanded its operations and geographic footprint, it strengthened its digital infrastructure to manage increasing operational complexity. The company relies on connected tools, technician-focused mobile apps, and centralized monitoring platforms to deliver fast, secure, and standardized maintenance services across all fleets.
This digital-first approach enables Velogik to maintain high service quality while scaling efficiently—making it a key partner for the next generation of smart, sustainable bike services.

Initial challenge

Before using Applivery, Velogik faced several issues in its managing its device management workflow:

Scalability limitations: Manual setup and distribution of devices became unsustainable as the company expanded. The IT and support teams needed a solution that could scale without additional headcount.
Complex logistics: Devices were shipped from suppliers to the headquarters in Lyon, then manually redistributed to end users—adding cost and delays.
Fragmented tools: Managing Windows and Android devices separately created operational silos and added complexity for the IT department.
Sustainability concerns: The existing process was at odds with Velogik’s B-Corp certification goals, which emphasize efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Applivery’s role

Velogik selected Applivery as its Mobile Device Management (MDM) platform because of its intuitive interface, powerful capabilities, and exceptional customer support. The platform offered Velogik the flexibility to standardize and control device usage across its growing fleet of shared devices — while keeping IT workloads manageable and logistics streamlined.

Applivery became the foundation of Velogik’s device strategy, ensuring that every technician could pick up any device and immediately find the same secure, pre-configured environment ready for work.

Applivery enabled Velogik to maintain a uniform configuration for all devices, eliminating inconsistencies and ensuring that shared devices were always ready for use with the same apps and settings.

With centralized policies, Velogik was able to restrict devices strictly to professional use, preventing personal distractions on the job and ensuring compliance with company policies.

The deployment process was smooth and collaborative. Velogik’s IT team worked closely with Applivery’s support team to solve issues, particularly with Google Play Store app configurations.

Thanks to Applivery, Velogik can now expand its fleet of devices without needing to scale up its IT or support teams, supporting sustainable growth both operationally and environmentally.

“Applivery gave us the flexibility to grow without scaling our IT resources. The dashboard is easy to use, and the support team is always helpful, friendly, and quick to respond.”

Impact and reflections

Applivery has reshaped the way Velogik manages its devices, providing the consistency and control needed to support field operations across multiple locations.

Looking ahead, Velogik plans to further expand its use of Applivery by:

Exploring Android Kiosk Mode for enhanced control over field devices.
Adding 100+ Windows devices to its managed fleet for unified oversight.
Evaluating remote management enhancements and security software integration to reduce tool fragmentation.

Velogik App Distribution

In addition to Device Management, Velogik also uses Applivery’s App Distribution feature to deliver its proprietary applications directly to employees and external partners. This capability ensures that users always have secure and up-to-date access to essential tools, without the risks or complexities of public app store deployment.

App Distribution plays a supporting role in Velogik’s ecosystem, simplifying the delivery of critical apps to its technician teams and business collaborators, and helping maintain consistency across its devices — no matter where they’re deployed.
