How does Middle Eastern super-app strengthen its corporate services in the region? By launching a one-stop business payments platform. Here’s the scoop.
Careem for Business
Careem, which is currently managed by Uber, has launched a series of brand-new corporate payments solutions designed to make how businesses manage expenses much simpler, across Careem’s wide range of services, expanding beyond its existing corporate rides system and platform.
The super-app is also being used by businesses to streamline their operations.
With this new undertaking, Careem has made history by becoming the world’s first-ever digital platform in the region to offer a corporate payments solution across various app services.
Where to access this? On Careem for Business.
“For people on the move,” stated the Careem for Business official site. “Careem for Business is the ultimate corporate travel companion to get your team where they need to be, on time and in style.”
There are various features that this service offers:
- Corporate rides, sorted: Book a ride on demand or pre-book online for extra peace of mind and ultimate convenience.
- Easier, simpler travel spending: View your total travel spend and all your upcoming bookings, as well as settle your account at your own convenience through a wide array of billing and payment methods.
- Taking care of your rides: Making sure you get to where you need to be.
- For business travelers: Whether you’re headed to a breakfast meeting in Dubai, or a lunch in Cairo, Careem Business has got all your transportation needs covered, from city to city.
Processes streamlined
This time, with this service, companies could more easily manage and pay for worker expenses centrally across rides, as well as food and grocery deliveries, logistics, and other services.
Since there’s a single account, businesses could onboard employees, set spending controls, and receive just a singular, consolidated monthly invoice.
Meanwhile, for employees, they could use company-provided allowances without submitting reimbursements or claims.
The new service on Careem covers a vast range of needs, including team lunches via Careem Food, office pantry restocks through Careem Quik, supplies on Careem Shops, and deliveries with Careem Box. How about that?
“With one account, businesses can streamline operations, keep tighter control over budgets, and make everyday tasks, whether it’s a ride to a meeting, ordering lunch, or managing office deliveries, much easier for their teams,” stated Bassel Al Nahlaoui, Careem’s chief business officer.
About Careem
This Middle Eastern super-app connects users with drivers through a mobile platform. After downloading the app, you could set the pickup and drop-off locations, choose a ride type, and get a fare estimate before booking, just like how it works on Uber.
Then, a nearby driver accepts the request and arrives for pickup. Track the ride in real-time and pay via cash, card, or digital wallet. Aside from rides, Careem also offers food delivery, parcel services, and even bike rentals in some regions.
Careem operates extensively not just across the Middle East, but also across North Africa, and South Asia, focusing on convenience, safety features, and reliable service. For more news such as this, keep browsing this Ridesharing Forum site.
