What We Have Been Working On
This month we are launching the “Passenger Web App” (PWA). PWA is an option we offer to operators so they can have a mobile presence for their business. At the core, the PWA provides a way for customers to book rides, manage their account, and track their in-progress rides with status updates and driver GPS location. To learn more about the Passenger Web App and take advantage of the $199 saving please click here.
Next month we will be starting Beta for our Limo Anywhere Mobile app. Limo Anywhere Mobile is an app for Android and iOS that allows Limo Anywhere users to manage their business on the go.
