Global Distribution Systems for the Taxi_PHV Industry

How much does it cost?
Global Distribution Systems would typically take a percentage commission on
booking, but the Karhoo model is different: end-customers are actually paying our
fees for the convenience of one-stop booking mobility together with their travel
package with their preferred brands.
Hence we’re able to pay out taxi and PHV operators their full expected fare, which
makes Karhoo distribution model cost and risk free.
Conclusion
We believe that Global Distribution Systems will apply to the Taxi/PHV industry and
process 20 to 30% of bookings, the same way it happened in other industries, led by
early-adopter companies building a competitive advantage for the long term.
GDS should not be seen as a threat but as an opportunity to maximise choice and
buying options for passengers. Many customers would not consider chauffeured
services, but do when they are offered alongside a relevant purchase.
Karhoo makes it easy for Taxi/PHV companies to sell their own branded local services
on hundreds of websites and mobile applications used worldwide to book and
manage their trips. Simplified global distribution for local suppliers can protect the
industry from dominant players looking to own or brand the entire value chain from
passengers to drivers. In much the same way that independent hotels continue to
thrive in an open digital marketplace.
Fleets should consider expanding their reach through GDS. And DMS Service
Providers should prepare their solutions for connected business, helping their clients
climb the learning curve of distributed channels
