San Francisco, CA, June 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Deem, a leading mobile and cloud technology provider for the business travel industry, announced a partnership with SuperShuttle, owned by the largest provider of multiple modes of transport in North America, Transdev, to bring ground transportation to all levels of business travel. The new partnership adds SuperShuttle content, including shuttles, black cars, and SUV’s, alongside other ground transportation providers, inside Deem’s corporate traveler booking platform, Work Fource. The integration with SuperShuttle provides customized options to travelers based on policy, location, and itinerary - dynamically and in real-time.
“Incorporating SuperShuttle’s services into our ground and travel platforms continues our vision of creating a seamless travel experience for travelers everywhere,” said John F. Rizzo, CEO, COO and President, Deem. “With this addition, travelers have more options and more personalization when booking their transportation service.
