GroundScope and Bolt Business join forces to improve corporate customer mobility in Europe

GroundScope, the leading managed corporate global taxi service, and Bolt, the European super-app, have announced a partnership aimed at offering ridehailing services to corporate travellers in over 400 cities in Europe. The two companies have launched an IT integration offering clients the opportunity to seamlessly book and pay for Bolt ridehailing services via the GroundScope app.

GroundScope and Bolt Business are looking to offer their corporate clients a transparent, efficient and seamless overview of their mobility needs. According to Bolt’s internal estimates, companies can spend up to 20 minutes per employee monthly on paper receipt processing and expenses. Using integrated mobility services can lead to significant cost and time savings every month.

John McCallion, CEO GroundScope said: GroundScope provides a safe, reliable and cost-effective global ground transportation service to many of the world’s leading corporations. We do that by offering our clients access to an intuitive online booking tool and mobile app. Before joining forces with Bolt we focused more on pre-booked services. Now, thanks to the partnership, we are able to add an on-demand ridehail experience to our customers.

Nick Powell, VP of Bolt Business, said: “Bolt Business has been growing at a rapid pace over the last year. We’ve registered a five-fold increase in our business and are looking to continue this growth pace moving forward. Establishing partnerships with players such as GroundScope represents a core ingredient of that growth and we are looking forward to working with them in order to save businesses time and money in travel expenses.”

Bolt’s ridehailing service has shown significant growth in the past years. The company has grown the number of rides three times compared to pre-pandemic levels. Bolt also has over 3 million drivers globally collaborating with the superapp.
