OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -

As activities outside someone’s home confines continue to intensity, DRAIVER announced a deeper partnership with Uber for Business, with direct benefits for automotive industry clients.

According to a news release distributed on Friday, the announcement opens a gateway for the entire automotive industry to a comprehensive mobility solution. Any business that needs to move vehicles, people, or parts from one location to another efficiently can now do so by utilizing DRAIVER’s logistics platform and its integration with Uber for Business.

DRAIVER reiterated that it is a foundational API partner with Uber for Business, and this deeper API integration now extends to Uber Vouchers, enabling a business to cover part or all of the cost of rides with Uber for their customers and employees.

DRAIVER said it also plans to expand its offering with Uber for Business to include Uber Direct, a solution that can help businesses meet increased customer demand for parts and package delivery.

DRAIVER added that the enhanced partnership also can give automotive software companies of any size the ability to tap into this unified platform to extend their own offering to include both vehicle logistics and personal mobility via API integration.

“This partnership with Uber for Business allows any company that sells, services, or rents vehicles to move vehicles, customers and employees where they need to be, when they need to be there,” DRAIVER founder and chief executive officer Zarif Haque said in the news release. “The combination of our patented logistics software platform with Uber for Business’ world-leading mobility platform unlocks incredible value for the entire industry.”
