Earlier, in our third article in this series, we described how our RideManger application helps ground transportation businesses send and receive transport service bookings. But before trading with other businesses via RideSuite, you’ll need to establish connections with your preferred supply or demand partners. This is where RideConnect comes in.
Travel businesses work with hundreds of suppliers, and suppliers work with dozens of travel businesses. The frustration for everyone is that jobs are sent by email, downloaded from extranets and chased up by telephone. It’s a throw back to the 1980’s. RideConnect helps you migrate these relationships onto our modern, multi-tenant platform.
Rather like LinkedIn, RideConnect allows businesses to send invitations to other businesses using RideSuite, or invite businesses to join and connect. The trading network you build via RideConnect is private to you. RideConnect includes a company-to-company messaging tool, to help you quickly ask a question or resolve a doubt.
Once connected, you can share contracts and prices created in RideRates, send bookings via RideManager, and track rides in real time within RideReact – the topic of our next article.
We’re completing the full pre-booked ride order lifecycle during this week, so follow our page on LinkedIn for regular updates, news and articles.
