History

Snapper Services was founded in 2006 by Infratil, a New Zealand infrastructure investment company. In 2008, the company launched the Snapper smart card in Wellington, enabling contactless payments for public transport and small-value retail transactions.[1]

In 2019, Snapper Services was acquired by ICM Mobility Group, a European mobility technology investor.[2] Following the acquisition by ICM Mobility Group in 2019, Snapper Services expanded its international operations, including establishing headquarters in Belfast, United Kingdom, and employing more than 80 staff across engineering, product, and customer-facing roles.[3][4]

Products and services

Snapper ticketing

The Snapper card is a contactless electronic ticketing card used to pay for bus and train fares in Wellington, New Zealand.[1] The platform functions as a stored-value transport card, similar to London’s Oyster card, allowing users to load credit for fares and access account-based features such as mobile top-ups and customer self-service.[5][6]

The system was among the early implementations of small-value, contactless smart‑card ticketing for public transport in New Zealand, first introduced in Wellington in 2008.[7][8]

Mosaiq Transit Intelligence Suite

The Mosaiq Transit Intelligence Suite is a cloud-based analytics platform developed by Snapper Services.[9][10][11] It is designed to provide transport operators and authorities with data insights into network performance and operations.[12][13][14][15][16][17]

The platform integrates multiple data sources to support analysis of service reliability, operational efficiency, and passenger experience.

The Mosaiq suite includes:

  • Mosaiq Insights, which provides analytics on network performance
  • Mosaiq Go, a mobile-based data collection tool[18]
  • Mosaiq Live, which provides real-time visibility of vehicle movements

The Mosaiq Transit Intelligence Suite can also work alongside public transport benchmarking tools, such as the Mosaiq Global Public Transit Index (GPTI). The GPTI allows users to compare network performance across cities and countries, and data from the GPTI can provide additional context for analysis within Mosaiq Insights.[19][20][21][22]
