Birgitte F. Sunde, CEO of BikeFinder, about the cooperation: “BikeFinder and hepster share a common goal – to help our valued customers in the event of bicycle theft. Together, we can offer our customers the ability to recover their stolen bikes and the peace of mind of knowing they have market-leading bike insurance included in their subscription – just in case. Our state-of-the-art trackers consistently achieve high recovery rates. However, it’s essential to continue delivering quality customer service and insurance to our expanding customer base. We are therefore thrilled to partner with hepster – a leading force in the bicycle insurance industry.” Birgitte F. Sunde, CEO of BikeFinder
Alexander Hornung, Co-Founder and CPO of hepster, explains: “The collaboration between BikeFinder and hepster means another milestone for us within IoT – ‘Internet of Things’ – and mobility solutions – the combination of hardware, software and need-based service offerings. With BikeFinder, we are demonstrating exactly what hepster set out to do in the market six years ago: situational insurance solutions that are flexibly and precisely integrated into the customer experience at BikeFinder and available to the customer at every point of sale. For us, the quintessence of embedded insurance.”
Our team could not be more thrilled to launch FahrradFinden in Germany. BikeFinder was founded in 2015 – its roots began in the heart of Stavanger, Norway’s entrepreneurial and innovative tech start-up community. The BikeFinder team quickly began developing an integrated tracking device that would fit any type of bicycle. The device provides accurate tracking through GPS, GSM, and Bluetooth technologies, with long battery life – suitable for work commutes and long bike tours. Today, that entrepreneurial spirit continues to inspire our growing and diverse team, working together to create the ultimate tracking tool for your bike.
