Alphabet updates AlphaGuide app with added functionality
The latest AlphaGuide version enables users to plan their individual trips using a variety of means, from bikes, to public transportation or a car. It also provides information for travelling on foot.
Besides finding the fastest itinerary, the app syncs with the user's calendar and real-time traffic information to ensure a smooth and time efficient trip. It will even inform the user when to start his or her trip in order to make the destination on time.
In addition, Uber services such as UberBlack, Van or UberX, based on market availability, have also been integrated into the AlphaGuide.
Furthermore following a successful pilot trial in several countries, a driver-friendly damage reporting functionality is now available in all countries, where Alphabet offers its services (except Denmark) and helps facilitate processes in case of an accident.
The app also locates the nearest petrol station, charging station, repair workshops or other service partners, and also now provides country-specific information about special points of interest with a variety of services tailored to the driver's needs, or available deals. And with the new release, the users have access to even more information related to their contracts, like the fuel card service provider.
“The new features really optimise the AlphaGuide user experience,” said Carsten Kwirandt, head of marketing and business development at Alphabet International. “And because the app has access to the client's contract data, users can enjoy the best journey solution for any given mobility activity. It’s at the tip of their fingers.”
AlphaGuide comes in iOS, Android and Windows versions and is available in 11 countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Australia and Sweden are to be added to the list in the near future.
