Look, Uber & a NEMT Software tech co (us!) had a Bambi: A care-tech love story
They say first comes love, then comes marriage and sometimes a baby comes in a carriage or in our case a deer with a NEMT van...
So we sing a similar, but different song here — where the lyrics end with a Bambi, in a lush forest full of software code and streets of NEMT gold.
We’re also all about that love being first, too. Most of us at Bambi live in cities where rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft operate so have had the privilege to experience the joy of getting around town, be it in a pinch or on a planned date. These drivers are connected to a super ease-to-use app that allows them to see we need a lift right when we need it. What’s not to love about that?!
Now, before we jump to the wedding (there’s got to be a proposal first, people!), it’s important to know a bit more backstory to add more love to this little love story. And that’s that our co-founders, Nirav Chheda (CEO) and Charles Henik (CTO), both have had personal experiences involving non-emergency medical transport (NEMT) services — or lack thereof — in their past. Both understood there were multiple inefficiencies in the NEMT business, many of which were not necessarily to be blamed on human error and life’s inevitable mishaps, but due to the fact that there wasn’t (yet) a savvy enough NEMT Software out on the market for NEMT business owners — nothing quite simple and streamlined enough like Uber, Lyft or for local taxi service owners.
It’s also important to note that at Bambi, we’re passionate people — a bunch of softie software engineers — who care about creating of utmost quality CareTech software. Add passion to any budding romance and you’ve got a marriage coming soon.
And so it’s inevitable. When you combine this fiery passion for care with a pure love for ease-of-use apps like Uber, sparks collide and a proposal to get married would be the viable next step. You know, to lock in that love for the long-haul!
In preparing for the big day (or product launch in tech terms), we at Bambi spent hours upon hours honing our code, design, and app and ship the most innovative in the market: an all-in-one, AI-powered NEMT scheduling and fleet management optimization software designed by humans with care for humans that caretake.
And in marrying the simplicity one might similarly find in the backend of an rideshare app with the NEMT service industry, you get a pretty cute, clever and bushy tailed AI-powered platform that allows NEMT businesses to dispatch, dash and drive — deerly.
And so, there you have it folks. That’s how we at Bambi made a Bambi NEMT platform!
