Formally launches DoRide transportation experience
Mobile application delivery platform, OM Holdings International is announcing the successful launch of its DoRide experience within its DoGetGo Super App at the Half Moon Resort in Montego Bay, St James in Jamaica.
DoRide is a transportation experience that allows users to book rides in real-time, with government-approved drivers who own newer model vehicles.
This launch was done in conjunction with the Jamaica Union Travelers Association (JUTA), Montego Bay Chapter, which previously executed a SaaS agreement with OM Holding’s technology subsidiary, Rydeum Caribbean to exclusively use the DoGetGo Super App for real-time booking and payment processing over the next five years for their 12,000 drivers.
With the assistance of JUTA’s management team, OM Holdings, based in Miami, Florida plans to progressively onboard drivers until 90 per cent of the 12,000 JUTA drivers in the country are on boarded.
On boarding taking place in Western Jamaica
The company has started onboarding in Western Jamaica, which will receive 72 per cent of the nation’s projected 2.45 million visitor arrivals this year. In 2022, these visitors will spend about $2.9 billion nationally, with a large portion going towards transportation expenses.
In 2023, the OM Holdings plans to complete DoRide expansion across the entire country by onboarding additional government-approved transport companies.
Commenting on the launch, Mark Vanterpool, CEO and chairman of OM Holdings, explained: “While DoRide is the first experience to be launched within the DoGetGo Super App, it will not be the last. Next year, we intend to use DoRide drivers as an agnostic, nationwide delivery ecosystem for five other DoGetGo experiences—DoFood (food delivery), DoMart (grocery delivery), DoShop (real-time eCommerce delivery), DoSend (courier service), and DoTours (real-time tour booking) by integrating local businesses into the DoGetGo ecosystem.”
Before the end of 2023, the logistic service provider plans to launch DoMed (telemedicine) and DoTask (professional services), which will synergistically complete the overall user experience.
Continuing, Vanterpool said: “We are excited about bringing this Super App to the underserved Caribbean market. We are committed to giving power and freedom to this region, by onboarding vendors of all types and digitising the exchange of goods and services. In the next couple of months, we plan to launch DoPay (real-time payments), which will allow DoGetGo users to seamlessly send cross-border payments in real time.”
He promised that this will be a game-changer for all residents and create unmatched shareholder value, pointing out that this launch completes a milestone that began in 2017 to develop a global multi-tenant, multi-service technology platform for underserved countries.
“The successful execution from conception to implementation of this platform is a testament to the hard work of the OMHI management team, who is now intently focused on expanding DoGetGo into similar emerging markets globally,” concluded Vanterpool.
