CITY BIKE (BEMOBI): With electrically assisted bikes, city dwellers can shorten their journey time without creating pollution. Communities are encouraging this soft mode of transport. La Poste is offering to manage on their behalf the long-term rental of connected electrically assisted bikes in their area. Rentals will be a subscription-based service with better deals for longer commitments. This service will be made available in the Greater Paris region starting in September 2019. [see the sheet]
IDENTITE NUMERIQUE: L'Identité Numérique is a free and secure service offered by La Poste that allows users to log in with just a few clicks and their unique identifier so they can carry out a variety of tasks (declaring tax information, signing up for childcare, etc.). It currently provides access to some 400 public services via the France Connect digital platform. [see the sheet]
GEOPTIS [IN THE SPOTLIGHT]: Specialising in portable topographic survey devices, Geoptis enables municipalities to audit their road infrastructure in order to better prioritise their maintenance work and investments. Geoptis also enables them to comply with their legal mapping obligations by providing a way to create a simplified outline of the streets (plan corps de rue simplifié, or PCRS) or very large-scale reference map (référentiel très grande échelle, or RTGE).
