ryd and Scheidt & Bachmann – Strong partners for the mobility of the future
In these ever-evolving times in which digital transformation is redefining mobility, ryd and Scheidt & Bachmann are setting new standards for innovative payment solutions. This partnership between the leading provider of in-car payment ryd and Scheidt & Bachmann simplifies the everyday lives of millions of motorists and is shaping change in a significant way.
Innovative payment solutions with SIQMA Connect
The basis of this forward-looking collaboration is formed by two central components: the powerful SIQMA Connect platform from Scheidt & Bachmann, which offers a large number of standard interfaces for the seamless integration of third-party applications, and the in-car payment infrastructure from ryd. As part of the partnership, ryd's innovative mobile payment solutions were integrated into Scheidt & Bachmann's SIQMA POS POS systems by means of a central SIQMA Connect Cloud solution. This creates an efficient and smooth refuelling process and sets new standards in the field of digital payment at fuel stations.
Almost 3,000 fuel stations, including those operated by Esso, are connected to the ryd acceptance network via the common interface. This ensures impressive coverage and reach across Germany.
Unlimited mobility: Digital payment for all drivers
The ryd solution is the only provider that offers a universal digital payment option, thus ensuring unrestricted mobility for every driver – regardless of the vehicle or usage situation. Whether via the intuitive ryd app, seamless integration into the infotainment systems of well-known car brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW or Skoda, or car-sharing services such as MILES or Sixt – digital payment is always at hand. This eliminates the need for physical cards or cash and significantly speeds up the refuelling process. Drivers can already use ryd to pay for car washes digitally. Thanks to the flexible expansion options of the digital platform, car washes from other manufacturers can also be integrated into the ryd network in the future.
Maximum efficiency and transparency for fleet customers
The partnership creates significant added value, especially for fleet customers. The widespread availability of ryd at Esso and other fuel stations is of particular importance for fleet operators. Digital fuelling and payment via app offer decisive advantages over classic fuel cards: The solution is immediately available, invoices are transmitted directly to the accounting department, prices can be viewed transparently and there are significant time savings. This leads to a significant reduction in administrative effort and improved cost control for fleet managers.
"Our partnership with Scheidt & Bachmann is an important building block for digital mobility. We enable all drivers, private and fleet customers, to have a seamless and convenient refuelling experience. In addition, we also offer real added value for fuel station operators. Together, we are shaping the future of paying from the car."
"With SIQMA Connect, we are harnessing the power of a growing ecosystem of partners true to the motto "expertise multiplies when shared". The mobility of the future is digital. Together with ryd, we offer a product that will set the tone for many years to come and remain flexible for future expansion."
