Whether they are CDS users or not?
No problem!!
So that you can work with companies that do not use the CDS chauffeur system. For this purpose, we have a web app, that is perfect for single or occasional use. To stay connected with your chauffeur network, updated, and in control of your jobs, in every event.
And given that there doesn’t have to be intrusive software to download onto your phone. This is ideal for the occasional farm out of jobs to partners.
Furthermore, when using the CDS web App, not only do you still receive instant updates and communications but it also integrates in real-time on your system dashboard. At CDS we certainly think of everything, if it helps our users save time and expand.
Firstly, the CDS chauffeur network helps to build and strengthen relationships between your company, sub-contractors, and owner-drivers. Secondly, it helps build loyalty and retention with chauffeur drivers and partners.
Your branding stays with you!
So to help reduce the anxiety of losing clients to partners, when sharing work with your chauffeur network. Then get smart with CDS.
Because all the communications relating to the job can leave the system automatically with your logos and brand livery. Then the client thinks it is your company fulfilling the job. Indeed, what better way to help build and keep trust between partners?
Of course, you could also use Number masking!
If you want to take further steps, so there is no contact between the client and the driver, outside the hire. Then you can allocate virtual numbers, that mask real numbers for the duration of the hire.
Thus the security of the driver and client’s personal data is guaranteed when using the CDS network. And this helps you comply with GDPR guidelines.
Multi-country – Multi-lingual – Multi-currency
Bookings anywhere in the world can integrate under one dashboard.
Not only does all communication leave the chauffeur system with company logo but also their full formatting and branding.
Also, all client communications and booking portals can be set up in multiple languages, and multi-currency pricing. This even carries through to invoicing.
CDS Connect - The Chauffeur Network
So you can use your chauffeur network of trusted and vetted professionals to cover big events and your excess work. Both CDS company to CDS company, but also CDS company to non CDS company.
What’s more, when you pass jobs to one of your selected network of partners. Then all the client and driver communications and hire updates, happen automatically on your dashboard.
To sum up, the dashboard updates instantly, from your chauffeur network partners as the job progresses. And this is the case if the partner has the CDS chauffeur system or not.
White-labelling
- for your clients
When you are doing a job for one of your partners, who is not on CDS. Then we believe it is important that you can preserve their brand interest and identity. With this in mind, not only do all communications to your client have their brand logo, identity, and contact details. Moreover, this preserves your relationships with partner chauffeur companies, and helps to gain their trust.
Keeping control of your Pricing and invoicing
Another key point, so that the job owner can retain control of the hire. Either you work out the cost to the client and price to the partner, and lock it in. Then pass it across to your partner in your chauffeur network, who then does the job for you. Or, you can give your partner the freedom to set the prices and you just add your margin. However, it is you who always invoices your client.
