From this point onward; the four rebrands encompass the Trapeze businesses providing Intermodal Transport Control Systems, Fixed Route Planning and Scheduling, Bus Driver Allocation and Bus Services Data Management/Passenger Information.
The first brand, ebblo, will handle Intermodal Transport Control Systems (ITCS), with an aim to demonstrate accelerated investment in emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) and cloud-based architectures, enhancing operations control, passenger information, on-board systems, and business intelligence whilst promoting interoperability through standard interfaces.

Grampian Solutions, formerly known as Trapeze Group UK Commercial, specialises in duty allocation and driver management technology, seeking to provide both tools and expertise to aid bus operators allocate work safely, remain compliant, and ensure drivers are paid both accurately and on time. The brand also incorporates DAS Anywhere, a platform that connects depot teams, drivers, and operational leaders through mobile-first technology.
Antony Chilton-Murphy, General Manager of Grampian Solutions said:Reintroducing the Grampian name is both a nod to our heritage and a signal of our ambition.
Trapeze Group UK Public has been rebranded into Naviquate, a fully integrated suite distributed in the UK and Ireland that spans journey planning, ticketing, operations and publicity management and real-time passenger information with the aim to give authorities and operators a continuous, end-to-end view of their networks.
Laura Pappi, General Manager of Naviquate said:Our technology has supported UK and Ireland networks for many years. With this new identity, we’re placing a sharper spotlight on our purpose: giving cities and operators the intelligence and agility they need to deliver outstanding public transport.
