The Ridecell platform used by Penske Dash provides a complete solution for their carsharing service of Volkswagen Jetta cars, launching this week in Washington, D.C. and Arlington, Virginia. The Ridecell technology solution includes the consumer-facing mobile application, payment processing, real-time parking information and predictive analytics for fleet operations and maintenance.
“Penske Dash chose Ridecell to power our shared mobility services because the company’s comprehensive platform can run everything from our consumer-facing application to payment processing,” said Michael Montri, chief operating officer of Penske Dash. “With Ridecell, we can ensure our fleet operates at peak efficiencies and our customers have a positive and easy experience reserving, locating, driving and returning our cars.”

The Ridecell platform lets customers roll out innovations quickly and customize their offering with Ridecell APIs.
