Autocab has partnered with CMT Group, a global leader in taxi technology and payment.
CMT, which was founded in New York, is the most popular card payment provider for London Taxis, it also provides rear-seat engagement applications, and the taxi e-hail network, ARRO.
With CMT becoming part of the Manchester firm’s Connect Partner Program, Autocab’s operators will get access to “modern, secure and taxi-focused passenger payment solutions.”
That means credit and debit card processing, national dispatch solutions, media and advertising content and GPS and interactive map services.
“We’ve built a global network aimed at identifying and solving needs so that Autocab provides the best possible service to our customers, from insurance services to call centre solutions, marketing to driver and vehicle tools,” explained Safa Alkateb, CEO of Autocab.
“CMT Group is an exciting addition to our team, offering innovative fleet management solutions, including passenger payment services, that will help operators achieve higher safety standards and improve operational oversight. We’re looking forward to seeing our operators take advantage of this new Connect partnership to enable their businesses to flourish.”
CMT Group also provides fleet management infrastructure, logistics and data management, driver portal and services. Its patented rear seat passenger information monitor (PIM) is among the world’s first in-taxi kiosks, providing information about the taxi operator and local regulations as well as trip information, entertainment during the ride and a way to pay for the journey.
“At CMT Group, we continue to focus on developing taxi-focused solutions that improve passenger experience, adhere to security and privacy standards and deliver measurable operational efficiencies,” added Ron Sherman, Chairman of CMT Group.
“Partnering with Autocab allows us to extend our reach and bring these essential tools to their global network of operators.”
