Should Your Company Outsource Ground Transportation Software?

The transportation industry is a curious case of being both timeless and antiquated. While the world has moved on to transportation management software (TMS) and digital solutions, the sector remains bogged down in the 19th century, tethered to cumbersome spreadsheets and sticky notes. Well, to this we say “out with the old and in with the new!” What better way to embrace modernity than investing in the latest ground transportation tech? By partnering with a reliable third-party provider, your company can join the ranks of savvy businesses that have already made the switch and let your wheels keep turning, smoothly and efficiently.

As travel agencies and airline companies strive to keep up with the fast-paced demands of the modern business world, automated ground transportation is often an overlooked aspect. Outsourcing ground transportation can not only alleviate some of the headaches associated with managing vehicle fleets, but it can also bring a host of other benefits to your business. Think about it this way - when you go on a trip, do you rent a car and navigate the unfamiliar roads yourself? Or do you hire a professional driver who knows the area like the back of their hand and can get you where you need to go hassle-free? The same principle applies to business travel.

Let’s imagine a hotel chain that wants to dazzle its guests with smooth and reliable airport transfers. By outsourcing their ground transportation needs to a trusted provider like PickUpp, the hotel can focus on providing exceptional guest experiences without the added stress of managing a fleet of vehicles, drivers, and schedules. With the right partnership, the hotel can ensure that their guests arrive at their destinations on time and in comfort, all while letting the savings pile up like stacks of gold bars.

“The automotive business is complex to begin with, but now with this shift happening, complexity is raised to an enormous level. And that's where I think we come into play from a digitalization perspective, that we want to convert complexity into a competitive advantage by offering solutions for digitalization for the automotive industry and its ecosystem,” says Nand Kochhar, vice president of automotive and transportation for Siemens Software, in MIT Technology Review.
