In previous articles we described how fleets use RideSuite to receive and schedule transport services such as airport transfers. These services are typically booked in advance through travel agencies and tour operators. You’ll have seen those smartly dressed drivers in airport terminals holding (ahem, badly written) name signs.
By the way, if you haven’t tried the service, you’re missing out – no hassle, pre-paid, competitive prices, expert drivers, no haggling, and no queuing for a taxi off the rank. What’s not to like!
However, there is more organisation and planning involved in coordinating these services than most travellers would expect. That’s where RideManager plays a vital role, connecting travel brands, intermediaries and transport service providers – not forgetting subcontractors too.
There can be many layers, often four or five stakeholders, involved in arranging overseas travel services. Indeed, there is a case for saying that modern day travel represents the largest global supply chain. Efficiently managing that chain, while respecting the interests of every stakeholder, is RideManager’s secret sauce.
Used by travel brands, intermediaries and transport service providers, RideManager allows businesses to send, receive and accept Purchase Orders that relate to a single operational record held in RideSuite – a Ride Order – and which captures all the passenger’s requirements.
Since RideSuite is a multi-tenant platform, RideManager transactions are fully contained within the system, allowing us to serve all stakeholders instantly, – eg: in respect of changes, cancellations and ride tracking data – and without further complex system integrations.
Use RideManager as your global fulfilment orchestration platform, as a tool to manage your local network of suppliers, or just for subcontracting the occasional job.
