Significant Savings in Transportation Expenses
Perhaps the most benefit in implementing SmartCab® Corporate for corporate transportation requirements is dollar savings. Reduced expenses are realized by:
•
Reduction in Phone Calls
SmartCab Corporate application eliminates the need to telephone the transportation vendor by allowing employees to directly place an order through SmartCab Corporate’s browser application. Order status and all other inquiries can easily be resolved from SmartCab Corporate.
•
Prevention in Billing Over Charges
All specific transportation orders and billing information can be readily accessed and viewed at any given time. If questionable billing charges appear on invoice statements, one can simply access SmartCab Corporate and view the specific transportation voucher, fare, waiting time(s), stops or any other relevant charge.
•
Dollar Savings for Vendor & Discounts for Corporate Clients
Traditionally, transportation vendors utilize a dispatch system employing many reservation operators, dispatchers, call-back operators and supervisors. SmartCab Corporate significantly eliminates many dispatching personnel thereby presenting an opportunity for the vendor to offer discounts to its high-use corporate customers.
In essence, SmartCab® Corporate represents a complete in-house transportation solutions program by providing efficient resolutions for all aspects in providing corporate transportation services; e.g., dispatching, billing, account management and customer services. SmartCab® Corporate’s billing software complements the core software by providing solutions to many, if not all, related billing requirements and concerns.
Simplification of Corporate & Vendor Interaction
With the development of SmartCab Corporate, the inherent complexities in providing efficient call taking and t billing that have traditionally plagued the industry can now be ameliorated, if not eliminated, through SmartCab Corporate’s applications.
The evolution from a two-way radio system to today’s sophisticated intranet application system has been arduous and costly for an industry with limited resources and venue. Soundview Technologies has played a major role in this transition with its development of SmartCab as the industry’s first user friendly, Windows based dispatch system.
SmartCab Corporate is Soundview Technologies’s latest innovative product in providing “Black Car” transportation solutions and simplifying corporate interaction, such as:
•
Userfriendly Vendor Interaction
SmartCab Corporate provides employees immediate access to Transportation Service Providers via a standard browser from reservation orders, pick-up instructions, car arrival status (ETA), assigned car, fare info, to billing charges, all of which can be readily viewed and printed within a matter of seconds.
•
Control & Account Management
SmartCab Corporate is designed to operate under a controlled environment by incorporating a supervisory function within its Administrator Module, thereby providing the necessary corporate tools to enforce corporate policies:
•
User Access Rights
It permits or restricts accessibility thereby limiting unauthorized access and transportation costs.
•
Departmental Reports
Departmental and individual ride summary reports as well as billing and invoicing statements can be viewed and printed on demand by in-house corporate account administrators.
•
Template Management
SmartCab® Corporate provides for “template management” by granting varying degrees of access rights and levels to designated departments and individuals. Each template is composed of different rights. Department administrators can delete, modify or add new templates and assign them to either sntire departments or individuals within departments.
Efficient & Expeditious Car Order Processing
When transportation is required, all that is necessary is that the user log on to the appropriate SmartCab® Corporate application and place an order. Within minutes, the assigned vehicle number and estimated time of arrival will be displayed. Once a vehicle is assigned, the passenger can further communicate with the driver by accessing SmartCab® Corporate’s Passenger-Driver Communication feature.
Elimination of Unnecessary & Time Consuming Procedures
SmartCab® Corporate encompasses a complete transportation solution application by incorporating Reservation, Billing, Customer Service and Administration modules. No longer is it necessary to call to order a car, wait for car number, send mail or e-mail for customer service or billing issues. All aspects of transportation status and requirements can now be resolved readily and easily on-line, thereby eliminating call waiting time, delays, and inaccurate billing as well as disputed charges.
