The XXImo Mobility Card provides a single solution for journeys by car, taxi, train, tram, bus, car share, public bike share and plane and also to pay for car sharing, parking, hotels or even a business lunch.

The whole expense process is carried out online, from transaction, authorization and cost allocation to direct processing in the accounts.

In a statement, XXimo said the acquisition will allow it to continue investments in its digital platform, extend its commercial network and develop its product portfolio.

Sodexo Benefits and Rewards said the move will support its clients to further enhance the Quality of Life of their employees with an innovative mobility platform.

It added that the acquisition allows XXImo a quick roll out in other countries, starting with Germany.

Philippe Symons, CEO of Sodexo Benefits and Rewards Services Belux, said: “The acquisition of XXImo enhances our already strong offering in the employee benefits and mobility solutions area further. Our solutions allow our clients and consumers to concentrate on their main missions rather than logistics. It will bring ease and efficiency to their day to day work and improve their work-life balance, key factors that improve the Quality of Life of employees in today’s competitive economy.”

Patrick Bunnik, CEO of XXImo, added: “After our success in the Netherlands and Belgium where we rolled out in 2013, we planned a phased international rollout. We are convinced that this acquisition by Sodexo will enable us to accelerate the international rollout considerably. Being part of a global services organization brings added value to our new and existing customers, merchants and resellers.”

Mr Bunnik will remain CEO of XXImo and will continue to work with Lex Broekhuizen (CFO) and a dedicated team from the HQ in ‘s-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands.
