Ola Corporate launched to cater to business sector

Taxi aggregator Ola has launched OLA Corporate - a travel solution for companies. The service is now available in 102 cities in India.

With Ola Corporate, customers can book cabs through the app and pay from their company's pre-paid Ola account. Transactions are paperless and the company does not have to reimburse its employees. The fares are the same as those charged to individuals.

Ola claims that businesses will be able to save up to 60% on travel costs with on-demand consumption. Companies can also decide on different ride policies for different groups of employees according to their needs.

The company has to open an Ola corporate account with a recharge for a minimum amount of Rs. 5,000. Then it has to verify an employee for him / her to use its Ola account. After verification, he / she can choose to use either the 'Corporate' ride or 'Personal' ride option on the app. On choosing the corporate option, the ride will be billed directly to his / her company's account.

The dashboard for Ola Corporate displays user profiles, rides, employee groups, payment, available balance, total expense and rides completed. The employer and the employee can export CSV files and invoices of their trips by group.

Ola Corporate also gets all the regular features of Ola along with the options of Ola Mini, Sedan and Prime. Ola plans to make Ola Share and Shuttle available in the future.

Uber, Ola's rival, has a corporate travel solution in other countries. It is yet to introduce the service in India.
