Featured case study · Mobility
Spin runs shared e-scooters and e-bikes in cities. We built the rider apps, the communication channels between the backend and the vehicles, and the backend services behind them, built to scale with the fleet.
Outcome
Rider apps and backend at scale
Scope
Mobile, web and IoT

Why mobility is different
Your software talks to hardware on the street, ops teams depend on it every shift and the data arrives from everywhere at once.
02
Real-time at fleet scale
Location, battery and fault data from every vehicle, processed as it arrives instead of in a nightly batch.
03
Ops teams live in your tools
Chargers, mechanics and city teams need dispatch and maintenance apps that work on a phone, on the street.
04
Data from many sources
Dealers, OEM systems and vehicles all report in different shapes. Decisions need it in one place.
Mobility & automotive services
Apps, platforms and analytics for fleets, riders and dealers, backed by the same services we offer every client.

FAQ
Something else? Email hello@magmalabs.io.
Do you have mobility and automotive experience?
Yes. For Spin we built rider apps, IoT communication channels and backend services for a micromobility platform. For Hyundai we built business intelligence that gave a clearer view of dealer performance.
Can you integrate with our vehicles or IoT devices?
Yes. We build the backend and communication channels that send commands to vehicles and receive telemetry, with retries and offline handling for devices that lose signal. If your hardware has an API or SDK, we can integrate it.
How do you handle rider and driver location data?
Encrypted in transit and at rest, with access limited by role and retention rules that match your privacy policy and laws such as CCPA and GDPR.
Can you build dealer and sales analytics?
Yes. We connect dealer, sales and service data into pipelines and dashboards that show performance per dealer and where to improve, as we did for Hyundai.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We sign an NDA on request, before we see your code or data.
Can your engineers join our team?
Yes. Through Team Embed, senior engineers join your Slack, standups and repo, work U.S. hours and follow your process. Monthly, with 30 days notice, starting in 1 to 3 weeks.
How much does mobility software development cost?
Engineers through Team Embed start at $8,500 per engineer per month. Scoped projects such as a rider app, a fleet platform or a dealer dashboard are quoted as a fixed price after scoping. If your product was built fast or with AI tools, the Production Readiness Audit is a fixed $4,900.
