Vendor Management: Scale Without Compromise
A network of 100+ empanelled vendor drivers and partner fleets, managed through the same system, SOPs and standards as our own fleet, so we can scale for large events without compromising service quality.
A Structured Network, Not Just a Phone List
When demand exceeds our own fleet's capacity, a large MICE event, a tourist season peak, or a route our own vehicles don't cover, we draw on a network of empanelled vendor drivers and partner fleets. This isn't an informal arrangement. Every vendor goes through a structured onboarding process and is managed through the same system as our owned fleet.
8-Step Onboarding
Every vendor and owner-driver is onboarded through a documented process, vehicle inspection, document verification, rate agreement and SOP briefing.
Two-Step Payment
Vendor payments are released in two steps, trip certification, then payment, fully tracked in the system with no informal cash settlements.
Loss Cap Discipline
We operate within a defined monthly cap for any loss-making vendor deployments, reviewed and approved by management, keeping our vendor network financially sustainable.
No App Required for Drivers
Vendor drivers don't need accounts or app downloads, they access trips via a unique link with OTP verification, just like our own drivers.
Same SOPs, Same Standards
Vendor drivers follow the same pre-trip checklist and conduct standards as our own team, so service quality doesn't depend on whose vehicle shows up.
Performance Visibility
Vendor trip history, reliability and utilisation are visible to our Ops team, informing which partners we work with most.
Why This Matters to You
For large MICE events or sudden demand spikes, we can scale beyond our own fleet without sacrificing the standards you've come to expect. A vendor-sourced vehicle for your event goes through the same vetting, the same SOP briefing, and is tracked the same way as our own fleet.
Fleet and vendor information is never shown on guest-facing documents, as a matter of policy. What matters to you is the service, not who owns the vehicle.
