The job it replaces
Without a connection, Provide A Ride trips mean logging into the portal, pulling the trip list and retyping every trip into dispatch: rider, pickup, drop-off, appointment time, mobility needs. Then checking back for changes. Every retyped field is a chance at a missed pickup. With Bambi connected to Provide A Ride, assignments land on the same board as every other trip you run.
What comes through
- Trip assignments (Provide A Ride to Bambi): Live. Trips Provide A Ride assigns to you arrive on your Bambi dispatch board automatically, ready to assign to a driver.
- Everything else: trip changes, rider fields and anything sent back to Provide A Ride vary by broker. Your onboarding team walks you through exactly what moves in each direction before you go live, so nothing surprises you on billing day.
What still happens with Provide A Ride
