How NAVIT Helped

With the NAVIT Deutschlandticket, Kolibri Games introduced a benefit that's used by 80 % of employees while requiring just one hour of administrative effort per month. Here are the advantages for Kolibri Games of rolling out the Deutschlandticket for employees via NAVIT:

The framework agreement between NAVIT and the transit operator meant that no admin effort was required from Kolibri Games. Kolibri Games was able to roll out the Deutschlandticket for employees in just a few clicks.

In addition, the smooth integration with its own HR system and payroll streamlined admin processes and minimized the time needed to manage the benefit.

On the other hand, employees were able to manage their ticket independently and directly via the NAVIT app. The ticket is available offline in the app and wallet, so no internet connection is needed. Maximum flexibility with no fixed costs for Kolibri Games.
