Case Study: FlixBus achieves a smooth, secure merger and 30% admin-time savings with IntraLinks

Intralinks ensures smooth and secure merger between FlixBus and MeinFernbus

FlixBus, founded in Munich in 2013 and enlarged by its 2015 merger with MeinFernbus, grew quickly into an international long‑distance bus network with nearly 1,000 employees and thousands of partners. For major transactions like that merger and subsequent acquisitions, the company needed a virtual data room to handle large volumes of legally and financially sensitive documents, support multi‑party due diligence and maintain strict audit and compliance controls.

FlixBus selected Intralinks because users were already familiar with the platform and it offered strong security, configurability and responsive support. The VDR let FlixBus tightly control who could see, open or edit documents and who could view other participants, enabled fast setup with minimal fuss, and cut external query time by about two hours a day and administration time by 30%; it has since been used across three major deals.
