The automotive industry relies on Uber for Business to help their customers, employees, and parts get where they need to go. With the Central dashboard, you can relieve disruptions and help streamline operations at your repair center to get customers back on the road.
The Central dashboard allows coordinators to request Uber rides so customers can enjoy a flexible, familiar way of getting home or to the office. They don’t need the Uber app or even a smartphone— once a coordinator requests a ride, the customer receives a text or phone call with their ride details. Staff members use one dashboard to request one-way or round-trip rides for customers, control pickup and dropoff locations, select ride type, monitor usage and spend, and more.
Here’s how Uber for Business customers drive their businesses forward with Central:
