GroundWidgets Chairman & CEO Apurva Patel
GroundWidgets is a leading innovator of applications, integrated solutions, and services that empower the ground transportation industry. GroundWidgets’ SantaCruz product is a comprehensive 360-degree platform that fulfills the operational requirements of transportation operators and helps them automate and streamline their business with workflow automation to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and optimize resources.
"In working with and getting to know the Livery Coach team, we realized that our mission, core values, and strategic direction were very synergistic, and we shared a common philosophy on how to develop and deliver the next generation of technologies to our customer base. Combining resources with Livery Coach will help accelerate the delivery of innovative products to the industry, and we are privileged to have industry veterans like David, Chip, and An as part of the team," says GroundWidgets Chairman & CEO Apurva Patel.
Livery Coach President David Hirsch
Livery Coach Solutions provides back-office automation software for the chauffeured transportation industry and offers both an in-house solution as well as a cloud (SaaS) solution for their customers. Livery Coach software solutions are designed to help a transportation company operate their business by streamlining day-to-day processes leveraging intuitive design and functionality.
"Joining forces with GroundWidgets was a logical and strategic decision for Livery Coach and its ongoing evolution. Our team has been working with GroundWidgets over the past few months and was impressed with the innovative and next generation of products they are developing to accelerate automation for the limousine industry. Livery Coach has always focused on delivering great products to its customer base and combining forces with GroundWidgets enables us to expand our portfolio of products as well as add resources for development and support," says Livery Coach President David Hirsch.
While both Livery Coach and SantaCruz will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future, the combined teams have begun to work on sharing ideas and technology that leverages best-in-class features of both systems. GroundWidgets and Livery Coach will also develop a transition path for those customers who want to migrate to the SantaCruz platform. Over time, the two companies will integrate their support operations and software offerings to offer operational excellence and efficiency never envisioned in the ground transportation industry within a suite of comprehensive and easy to use applications that seamlessly work together, according to the companies. Livery Coach has already integrated with GroundXchange and GroundSpan (Affiliate to Affiliate Network and Corporate Connectivity Tools) and we will be integrating other applications soon.
