A lot of people download the Uber app, hail a ride and never know the full extent of the company’s offers. Uber has started to offer what’s known as “Uber for Business,” but unless you’re a business, you may not realize the service exists.
Uber knows that the world needs transportation, and Uber for Business offers an all-in-one solution for your organization’s needs.
Wait, What is Uber for Business?
Imagine owning a business, and you want a better way to help your employees or clients get around. Let’s use a commercial plumbing company like Sewer Co as an example. Let’s assume that the company was fixing the plumbing in a skyrise building.
Perhaps the owner of the skyrise needed a ride to the airport.
A way to “wow” the owner would be to hail a car for them. Arranging the owner’s travel, especially when they’re in a bind, will make your business stand out. This is what Uber for Business can do for you.
But It’s even more powerful than simply scheduling transportation.
Using a custom dashboard, the company offers:
- Account management, where you can manage everything from billing to trip activity and also how your customers and employees can ride using Uber.
- Send rides right from the dashboard using Uber Central. Your entire team can schedule a ride for customers.
- Take rides directly through the app, and have all of the billing go to your company’s Uber business account.
Everything is scheduled using your business account to separate work from personal life. It’s the ideal solution for companies that want to offer transportation to their employees or customers and don’t have the financing or infrastructure to do it.
You’ll even be able to send rides to customers that don’t have a smartphone.
Team members can also see the arrival status of the ride, so they can meet the customer at the door to show how important they are to your business.
How Businesses Are Leveraging Uber
Customer service is the backbone of most businesses, and offering transportation for employees or clients is a great way to excel in customer service. What’s great is that businesses save 30% on ground transport when using the service.
Businesses are leveraging Uber for Business to:
- Add additional benefits and perks to a potential employee’s job description.
- Offer impeccable customer service to clients and customers.
- Allow employees to worry about their next meeting with fast, free transport.
- Eliminate the need for time-consuming, expensive expense reports.
You can also dispatch multiple rides at once to handle the needs of all employees or customers. Hotels are really enjoying this service because it allows them to offer a service that others don’t offer.
Guests are able to ride to the hotel in style, and hotels are able to differentiate themselves from other hotels in the area that don’t offer any transportation options.
Guests want to be spoiled and to feel special, and Uber allows businesses to simplify their business moves one trip at a time. When businesses need transport solutions, Uber is a great choice.
