uber for business

One of the world’s most popular ride-sharing app, Uber has announced a new ‘Uber for Business’, that will enable new use cases like a daily commute, late-night rides home from work, between-office transportation and much more. When Uber for Business was introduced in India, the mission was to give organizations a more efficient way to manage their business travel and improve employees experience.

The Uber for Business will deliver new tools, the product updates include:

  • Set-and-forget travel programs: This new tools allow managers to set up automated programs for commuting, business travel, airport rides, and any other mobility need. For instance, if employees are working late, they could use a comfortable ride home. Managers can be the hero by setting up a “late night rides” policy that only works for trips taken between work and home after 8 PM. The company can choose how much to fund per trip, and if employees need to take longer trips, it’s no problem, everything over the spend allowance will be charged to their payment method of choice.
  • New permissions: Companies can set rules for employees, customers, and clients around the type of car that they can use, how much they can spend, and the location from which a trip needs to begin or end. They can mix and match these rules in the way that works best for their company.
  • Different access for different groups: Businesses can provide customized levels of Uber access depending on each person’s needs. For example, you can give all of your employees INR 500 (or more) for their daily commute, while giving recruiters special access to call rides for candidates via Uber Central. By segmenting the organization by team, level, or location, they can take transportation policies out of the back office and easily bring them to life.
  • A fresh user interface: The Uber for Business dashboard has been redesigned from the ground up to feature a cleaner, more seamless experience. A streamlined account setup flow makes it easy to get riding with as few or as many travel programs as needed. Plus, access to Uber Central is easily controlled, enabling employees who interact with customers, guests, or recruits to call a ride for them on demand.
