Quicko: The Smart Urban Mobility Solution That Keeps You Moving
Quicko | Mobility
Quicko
With more than 30% of Brazilians spending between 1 and 2 hours daily on public transit, Quicko is the essential solution for urban dwellers on the go. Users enter their destination and receive the fastest, most economical route options — combining multiple modes of transport including buses, metro, bike-sharing, and ride-hailing apps.
Quicko also offers integrated payment methods, discounts, and a points system redeemable for transit passes, movie tickets, mobile top-ups, and much more.

Challenges
Quicko needed a fully integrated squad embedded in their processes, capable of evolving the platform across multiple fronts simultaneously: transit modal integration, user retention improvement, scalable IT management, and a more accessible login system.
Our Approach
How we helped Quicko overcome its technology challenges.
Full squad integrated into Quicko's processes
Our challenge was to add capacity and flexibility to Quicko's internal team. We adapted to existing standards while contributing the best of our own processes. Even after the acquisition by Finnish company MaaS Global, VX continued as the technology partner.
Retention
We needed to understand users and drive app engagement. We created an evaluation process and a benefits club — testing various UI/UX approaches and using gamification as a strategy, letting users accumulate points to redeem for transit passes, event tickets, and mobile top-ups.
Modal integration
We integrated Quicko with multiple payment methods tied to public transport — a significant challenge, as each municipality uses different protocols and vendors. We also integrated private-sector payment systems.
New registration & login
We studied user behavior and created a step-by-step registration and login system — easy, intuitive, and fast — with Facebook and Google sign-in support, so users don't waste a single minute.
Acquired by MaaS Global
Operating in Brazil's largest cities, Quicko was incorporated into the MaaS Global portfolio — owner of the Whim app, with presence in Helsinki, Madrid, Vienna, Geneva, Brussels, and Tokyo.
Beyond territorial expansion, MaaS gained synergy between the technologies deployed across each app — an international recognition of the quality of work delivered by VX.
