Seoul, South Korea - February 27, 2018
Kakao Mobility, a mobility arm of South Korea's top mobile messaging app service provider Kakao, announced today it launched 'Kakao T for business', the new cab-hailing service customized for companies.
As a start, the operator of Kakao T, South Korea's leading cab-hailing, navigation, parking and driver-for-hire service platform, starts providing the service for 400 companies including LOTTE department store and BCcard. The South Korea-based company said an additional 6,000 plus local companies are contemplating the use of the new service.
The employees of the member companies for Kakao T for business can use the ride-hailing service with ease since their taxi fares are automatically paid with the corporate cards registered in the app upon arrival at their destinations. The passengers from the companies do not need to go through the hassles of keeping and submitting ride receipts to the companies for reimbursement.
The new service is also beneficial to the firms partnered with Kakao Mobility in that the process of reimbursing employees' taxi fares will become simpler and more efficient. Kakao Mobility also plans to unveil premium ride-hailing and chauffer service for corporates.
John Jung, Kakao Mobility CEO, said "The introduction of Kakao T for business is a testament to our commitment to evolving and expanding our services for better user experience and for the improved profitability for our partner taxi drivers."
