About RATP Dev
RATP Dev, a subsidiary of Groupe RATP, operates and maintains multimodal transport networks (buses, trams, metros, and trains) in 16 countries across 5 continents. With a strong footprint in France (Lyon, Brest, Toulon, Caen, and more) as well as internationally (Casablanca, Hong Kong, Riyadh, and more), the company is committed to making public transit the obvious choice.
Through its Passenger Services offering (the Explore suite), RATP Dev runs a comprehensive digital ecosystem that supports passengers at every stage of their journey. The platform delivers reliable, accessible, real-time passenger information and an omnichannel customer relationship tailored to the needs of every rider.
The challenge
With multiple subsidiaries facing distinct needs, RATP Dev faced a major challenge: centralizing and standardizing communication across subsidiaries without sacrificing each one's autonomy.
- A single platform allowing each subsidiary to manage its own campaigns (marketing emails, SMS, transactional emails)
- Group-level oversight from a master account to monitor performance and ensure deliverability quality
- A scalable solution capable of supporting the growth of new networks, including outside France
- Dedicated IP management to protect sending reputation at scale
The solution
Since May 2023, RATP Dev has used Brevo through a multi-sub-account reseller model: 1 master account with 7 dedicated IPs for a centralized view of performance, dozens of autonomous sub-accounts allowing each subsidiary to manage its own campaigns, lists, and automations, and 140 users spread across all entities.
Use cases span the entire communication lifecycle:
- Transactional emails: real-time traffic updates, service alerts, and disruption notifications
- Marketing campaigns: promotional activities, contests, loyalty programs
- SMS: urgent alerts, departure notifications, local communications
- Automation: welcome sequences, follow-ups, behavioral notifications
- Forms and landing pages: data capture and opt-in collection
