BroBizz A/S Annual report 3 Company objective BroBizz A/S’ main task is to be the issuer of BroBizz®, which can be used as a means of identification for a number of transportrelated payment services, such as toll roads, bridges, ferries, parking, etc. BroBizz A/S is responsible for overall customer relations, including contract administration, collection of fees between operators and the customer, etc. Highlights of the year BroBizz A/S develops and manages the BroBizz® concept that ensures automatic payment at bridges, ferries, toll roads, car parking etc. BroBizz A/S has, through its participation in the Scandinavian EasyGo partnership, excellent experience of payment services across national borders. BroBizz® currently works on over 55 toll roads, bridges and ferries in Denmark, the rest of Scandinavia and Austria. In addition, the BroBizz solution is used in certain parking areas and for access control. In 2016, the company based its business development activities on a two-part business strategy, which consists on the one hand of expanding the number of locations for use for a BroBizz, and becoming an EETS issuer (the European Electronic Toll Service) on the other. The company also focused on creating more opportunities for BroBizz customers in 2016. The main initiatives included the company launching a partnership in early 2016 with Scandlines’ Danish/German routes in relation to the contract administration of BroBizz. In the autumn, an agreement was signed with Scandlines’ Elsinore-Helsingborg route to handle the administration and invoicing of contract customers, who use all types of On Board Equipment when crossing. In addition, the BroBizz concept was rolled out in all the car parks at Copenhagen Airport as well as being an integrated solution for the airport’s Taxi Management System. These collaborations are essential to the objective of continuously developing services for the benefit of customers and simplifying both their and business partners’ situations. In addition, the company worked to achieve recruitment channels outside Scandinavia in 2016 with regard persuading foreign commercial vehicles to pass through toll roads in Scandinavia. As part of this, a partnership was launched with the German fuel card company, UTA, in the summer. Similar partnerships are expected to be signed in 2017. On the European front, 2016 also saw an exciting development. The company was the first from Scandinavia to achieve EETS registration in September 2016. Registration is a quality mark for the company and also an important step for BroBizz A/S to be able to offer a service in future that is an attractive and natural choice for regional customers who want to venture into Europe. The company is now formally authorised to engage in discussions with all EU countries to allow BroBizz payment on infrastructure covered by EETS provisions. At the end of 2016, Sund & Bælt adopted a new overall strategy, which is based on the vision that Sund & Bælt should be the best at building, operating and financing user-paid infrastructure to enhance mobility in Denmark and Europe. The aim is to optimise the operation and development of activities within the Group’s business areas. The effect of this is an intensification of business development activity at BroBizz A/S in 2017, including optimisation and further development of the concepts and solutions the company offers.
