You know how Uber clients book Uber and the system sends the job to the next/nearest car? Is there a version any firm can have? an app that sends the jobs to the next car amongst those logged on? |

So someone uses a phone to order a taxi and a car gets sent to them ? Keep going down this line and you'll re-invent a taxi company  Sunday night I was on the top deck of a tour bus in New York. Reckon it's knocked years off my life just watching the crazy yellow cab drivers over there  Bill

Well you could I suppose but you might end up loosing all your customers that prefer to speak with a real person rather than use automation. At the moment the best I've seen with the full complement of IVR+apps+text+web comes out at 65% (45% being more typical) but the vast majority of this is IVR catching people just ringing the office rather than using apps. May be in twenty years time it'll be very different so don't sack the office staff just yet! Bill

Yes it's called IVR. |

We usually set it to ring all the drivers at the same time and they are supposed to only answer the call if they are available to do a job. It works reasonably well unless you have a driver who sets his phone to auto answer. It is also a bit of a problem if someone rings to change or cancel a booking when the wrong driver answers the call. |

£80 pw. 84 cars. Owned by 40 drivers. Checks & balances with independent oversight. Works very well. Hence the biguest in the borough. |
