Core Entity Brief
| Entity | Transdev Business Information Solutions SAS |
|---|---|
| Public role | TBIS matters because it governs the IT cost structure and supplier relationships for a major public transport operator. Changes in its service scope, financial health, or supplier choices can affect the systems that support fare collection, fleet management, and passenger information. AS211965 adds a network-registration point that would become material if live routing emerges. |

Transdev Business Information Solutions SAS is Transdev's internal IT services company for group digital and France information systems, with AS211965 as a secondary registry and routing watchpoint.
What It Does
- Internal IT service model: TBIS operates as an intra-group service provider, handling internal-client invoicing, service catalogues, internal pricing, annual budgeting, project and run-cost tracking, supplier negotiation support, and IT cost-optimization plans for Transdev.
- Transport IT production: Its declared activity under NAF/APE 62.02A (systems and software consulting) is expressed through transport-group IT delivery and governance, not an externally marketed SaaS or telecom service.
- Who depends: Internal Transdev teams—group digital, France information systems, internal clients, operating units, shared accounting services, and IT suppliers—rely on TBIS for service governance, cost visibility, and delivery coordination.
- Material scale: 2024 revenue reported at EUR 73.5 million (Pappers/Le Figaro), with EBITDA of EUR 3.67 million and a net loss of EUR -1.13 million. Transdev's recruitment copy suggests a broader scale near EUR 80 million and about 160 collaborators; the difference is noted.
- Network registry footprint: AS211965 is registered to TBIS in the RIPE region. IPinfo and CAIDA show no current prefixes or routing degree; IP2Location and aWebAnalysis associate 2001:67c:2914::/48 with the same ASN, so the ASN serves as a bounded monitoring surface rather than a live internet service indicator.
Operating Snapshot
- Legal baseline: Active French SAS, SIREN 419 566 450, SIRET 419 566 450 00047, RCS Lyon, headquarters 75 rue de la Villette, 69003 Lyon, created 1 July 1998, capital EUR 1,256,000.
- Activity classification: NAF/APE 62.02A (systems and software consulting), with a 2023 employee band of 100–199 employees.
- Official operating scope: Transdev states TBIS houses the group digital and France information-systems functions, carrying a large part of France IS costs and some worldwide IS costs, with revenue close to EUR 80 million and about 160 collaborators.
- Governance mechanics: The TBIS finance role encompasses financial reporting, project and run-cost tracking, internal invoicing, annual budget construction, service catalogues, internal pricing culture, supplier negotiations, and cost-optimization action plans.
- Financial scale: Pappers: 2024 revenue EUR 73.5m, EBITDA EUR 3.67m, net loss EUR 1.13m, equity EUR -1.51m, 119 employees. Le Figaro: net revenue EUR 73,496,778, loss EUR 1,125,496, equity EUR -1,512,347.

A BODACC capital-modification notice on 20 Jan 2026 and December 2025 capital actions restored capital to EUR 1,256,000. Transdev's 2025 financial report records a EUR 2.8 million capital increase for TBIS.
- Routing telemetry: AS211965: IPinfo shows no prefixes, peers, upstreams, or downstreams. CAIDA AS Rank: degree 0, prefix 0. IP2Location and aWebAnalysis both list 2001:67c:2914::/48 for the same ASN.
- Parent-group context: Transdev Group 2025 revenue: EUR 10.444 billion, 107,048 employees across 19 countries, over 95% revenue from long-term public contracts, average 14 million daily passengers.
Control Surface
- IT cost and service governance: TBIS controls financial reporting, project and run-cost tracking, internal invoice clarity, annual budget building, service catalogues, internal pricing culture, and cost-optimization plans.
- Transport IT delivery: By housing group digital and France IS functions, TBIS directly governs the systems and software used in transport operations, though the public application inventory is opaque.
- Supplier interface: The finance role supports operational teams in supplier and IT service-provider negotiations, giving TBIS a lever over vendor costs and procurement.
- ASN administration: RIPE records link TBIS to AS211965, ORG-TBIS4-RIPE, and maintainer COLT-FR-MNT. Policy entries referencing AS174/AS8220 are registry artifacts and do not prove live traffic.
- Statutory and capital filings: Public filings—annual accounts, loss continuation decisions, capital modifications—are material because TBIS carries substantial internal IT costs for a public-transport group.
Watchpoints
- Routing activation: If AS211965 begins announcing prefixes, shows BGP peers, or gains RPKI ROAs, TBIS would gain a direct observable internet operations surface, changing its risk profile from purely internal to externally visible.
- IT governance scope: Alterations to service catalogues, internal pricing, invoice readability, annual budget controls, or supplier-negotiation support would reshape how Transdev allocates and governs centralized IT spending.
- Capital and continuity filings: Subsequent French company-register filings should be checked for new equity warnings, losses, or restructurings that test the durability of the 2025–2026 capital actions.
- Scale reconciliation: Revenue and workforce figures differ between Transdev's recruitment text and the 2024 accounts; a widening gap could signal changes in TBIS's operating base.
- Ownership precision: TBIS's current shareholding percentages are not publicly disclosed; any published shareholder roster would clarify governance risk.
- Operational visibility: No public source exposes the application estate, cybersecurity architecture, outsourcing map, SLAs, incident procedures, or disaster-recovery design behind TBIS's IT delivery role.
