KLM Mobile Solutions was founded in 2011 by two business administration students of the University of Mannheim who then co-founded Sponsorun. Having developed the App of the University of Mannheim, the Startup was one of the first to launch mobile applications for universities in Germany.
February 2013 brought about a change of management. Two economics students of the University of Mannheim (Gregor Tränkle, Julian Brack) became CEOs of the company and took over the operational business. Furthermore, KLM became part of the MCEI Incubator program and moved into MCEI office space granted to further grow the business. This step allowed KLM to have better access to infrastructure resources and to improve its operational workflow. ‘The objective is to improve the students’ everyday life with small and simple yet helpful features and thus make student life a little bit more efficient.’ The implementation of an ISBN-scanner in May 2013, which allows UniMa-App users to check the dynamic availability of various books at the university library, is only one example of the measures taken to achieve this goal. An agreement for developing the official mobile application of the DHBW Mannheim and one with another big institution in Mannheim offers KLM Mobile Solutions good chances to expand its activities by then end of 2013. New projects always go along with new learning experiences and opportunities to enhance the product to really become a smart, user-friendly and cool microcosm information platform.
KLM Mobile Solutions is looking forward to a successful year 2013.The next app of KLM Mobile Solutions will be available in late October. We congratualte the KLM team to this success story and are happy to offer continuous support along the growth curve.
