About Flix SE

Green and smart mobility to discover the world Flix is a global mobility provider and has been transforming the way millions of people travel in Europe since 2013 under the FlixBus brand. As a unique combination of technology startup, internet company, and traditional transport operator, we have created Europe’s largest long-distance bus network in a very short time. Since 2018, we have also been offering rail services and an intermodal offering under FlixTrain. Thanks to easy booking and a constantly growing range of services, we offer millions of travelers the opportunity to discover the world for little money. In doing so, our green long-distance buses and trains meet the highest comfort, safety, and environmental standards and offer an ecological and convenient alternative to private transportation. FlixTravel experience – our success concept Our success is based on the digitalization of a traditional means of transportation. With technological innovations such as a pioneering booking and ticketing system, the FlixBus app, free WiFi, GPS live tracking, and automated delay management, we enable a new way of traveling. Through smart network planning and dynamic price management, we always offer our customers the best deal. In operating our FlixBus network, we rely on close partnerships with traditional medium-sized businesses: regional bus partners – often family-run companies with decades of experience – operate the green FlixBus fleet. In operating our long-distance trains FlixTrain, we cooperate with Europe’s most successful private train operators. This way, innovation, startup spirit, and a strong international brand meet quality from tradition.

ARCIS

ARCIS builds an AI-powered decision layer for logistics and freight operations. Many logistics teams today still work with fragmented processes across TMS systems, Excel files, emails, PDFs, and the individual experience of dispatchers. This results in manual work, slow handoffs, missing information, and inefficient planning decisions. ARCIS was founded by Onur Yılmaz and Birkan Kolcu, two computer engineers whose collaboration began 14 years ago as fellow students, roommates, and long-term technical partners. Onur combines computer science expertise, business-building experience, an MSc in Informatics from Technical University of Munich, experience at Intel, and strong connections to Munich’s startup ecosystem. Birkan brings technical depth from his computer science degree at the University of Arizona as well as practical experience in cloud engineering and scalable systems. The focus on logistics emerged from close relationships with logistics companies and operators in the team’s network. As these conversations increased, a recurring pattern became clear: high-quality operational decisions are still made manually across scattered systems and personal experience. ARCIS helps logistics teams connect this information and make decisions around dispatch planning, load-truck-driver matching, capacity utilization, document processes, and operational exceptions faster and more reliably—without replacing existing systems.
