Boosting customer satisfaction with cloud telephony for a cab aggregator
13 MIN Read
Cab aggregation in the UK has seen significant growth in recent years. The rise of cab companies has changed the way people commute and reach destinations. It has brought convenient, affordable, and reliable transportation services to the UK.
The key advantage of cab aggregation platforms is the convenience they offer to customers. Users can easily book rides from smart devices, get notified, schedule rides and do more, which saves their time.
For drivers, cab aggregation platforms offer flexible work opportunities and the potential to earn a steady income. This has encouraged many drivers to sign up with popular cab service companies.
The global cab aggregator industry, however, has faced several challenges including regulatory hurdles, driver strikes, and safety concerns. Some state governments have imposed restrictions on their operations, leading to legal battles and uncertainty in the industry.
Additionally, incidents of driver misconduct and passenger safety have raised concerns among users and led to calls for stricter regulations. We were able to address some of these concerns at Servetel/ Acefone.
Business needs of cab aggregators
Our client's platform offered coordination between passengers and cab drivers; however, they were facing some critical communication issues. Without a business phone system, passengers had to call drivers on their personal numbers, leading to unsupervised communication. As a result, there was an increase in cancellation rates, as drivers asked passengers to cancel rides to avoid paying commission.
Their cancellation rates went up to 65%. Privacy was another concern, especially for female0- passengers traveling to and from personal spaces. Incidents of harassment led to a realization that drivers needed basic customer engagement training.
Data security and privacy were also critical concerns for our client. Especially since accessing personal information through phone numbers and the risks of targeted marketing campaigns were possible.
Our experts built our client a custom solution that integrated into their existing platforms.
