ADDFLEET ENTERS THE UK MARKET


One of every two peo- ple in the UK owns a smartphone and by 2014 three of every four Brits will. This is why, as traditional as the taxi sector may seem, it’s also eager to implement the newest technologies that are revolutionising


the


market. Cloud-based dispatch systems, that connect the taxi com- pany with the drivers through smartphones, are the new solution. Having a good dis- patch system is of paramount importance in order to increase the number of


requests


and the revenues. This new smartphone-relat- ed technology


is


currently bursting into the market: it offers all the flexibility of the internet and it makes

dispatch system is not only fast-developing and flexible, but it’s also very user-friendly and


affordable


because it does not involve any investment in hardware nor main- tenance costs. This is the reason why it is suitable for small and

makes an important difference,”


advantage says


Isabel Sánchez, UK market responsible at Addfleet. Addfleet exhibited for the first time at the recent Private Hire and Taxi show at Coventry


and took the opportu- nity to present their cloud-based dispatch system in the UK mar- ket. Taxi company owners and drivers showed interest in their internet-based technol- ogy which already powers thousands of vehicles in four coun- tries. The UK taxi and PHV market is one of the most advanced and pioneering


within


Europe, but it’s also one of the trickiest. To offer the newest tech- nology to the most demanding industry is a big challenge that Addfleet has accepted.
