Magenta to Showcase Echo Advanced Auto Allocation Module at PHTM 2016 (18th & 19th May 2016, Milton Keynes)

London, 11 May 2016: Visitors to this year’s Private Hire and Taxi Exhibition (organised by PHTM) will be able to get ‘hands on’ with the most advanced auto allocation solution on the market. Magenta Technology, with over fifteen years’ experience of automating operations within navigation based businesses, will be demonstrating the intelligent auto-allocation and scheduling capability of the Echo platform. Already in use within minicab and private hire operations across the country Echo is helping customers achieve a 97 percent automatic despatch rate – saving time and enabling more bookings. PHTM 2016 takes place on the 18th and 19th May in Milton Keynes and is free to attend.

“This will be the largest gathering of private hire and taxi fleet operators in the UK this year and gives us the perfect opportunity to show the market what makes the Echo platform stand out from the crowd,” comments Matthew Borland, Echo Sales Director at Magenta Technology. “Intelligent auto allocation provides users with a significant competitive advantage and customers of the Echo platform are reporting cost savings and an increase in bookings.”

The Echo platform delivers the most intelligent auto-allocation functionality on the market, enabling immediate and accurate job distribution. Users of Echo report a 97 per cent plus rate of automatic job allocation reducing the number of despatch staff required. The fully automated mode enables assigning equal amount of orders to all drivers. This is based on idle time and up-to-date earnings. Everyone has the same opportunity to earn, which is vital when it’s a struggle to retain your best drivers.

In addition to the auto allocation module Magenta will also be showcasing a range of Echo customer booking apps which allow passengers to book, track and pay for journey’s via a smartphone or other mobile device. Fully customisable Magenta offer an end to end app service including branding, publishing, store search optimisation, support and maintenance allowing operators to focus on delivering on their promise.
