Enhancing Reservation Efficiency: Mastering Points of Interest in Limo Anywhere

Simplifying Reservations with Limo Anywhere's Points of Interest

Points of Interest (POIs) are the go-to places where our customers frequently get picked up or dropped off. These include locations such as stadiums, concert venues, hotels, or restaurants, but there’s no limit to the number of categories you can create in Limo Anywhere. By utilizing POIs in Limo Anywhere, entering frequent addresses becomes a straightforward task, enhancing the accuracy of the data entered into a reservation. In this blog post, we’ll delve further into the technical aspects of leveraging POIs to streamline your operations and make your workflow more efficient.

Adding a POI

There are two ways to add POIs to your Limo Anywhere:

1. Adding a POI as a Company Resource
   1. Click the ‘My Office’ icon and navigate to the ‘Company Resources’ tab.
   2. Select ‘Points of Interest (POI)’ from the left-hand side of the screen.
   3. Choose the appropriate Parent Category from the dropdown menu. To add a new category, select the ‘…’ button and enter the desired POI type.
   4. Enter the name and address information for the new POI.
   5. (Optional) Enter any Special Instructions/Directions related to the POI.
   6. Click ‘ADD NEW POI’ to save the entry.
   7. To choose how POIs appear in your Limo Anywhere system select either ‘Categorized’ or ‘Listed’ in the Show POI list dropdown, then click Save.
      1. Choosing ‘Categorized’ organizes your POIs by their category and lists your POIs in alphabetical order within their category.
      2. Choosing ‘Listed’ displays all POIs in alphabetical order.

1. Adding a POI during the Reservations Process
