Limo Anywhere and AddOns.LA have officially joined forces<\/a> and to celebrate the two teams coming together, we sat down with Sean Arena<\/a>, president of Limo Anywhere, and Andy Norman<\/a>, founder and CEO at AddOns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In this first post of this three-part series, Sean and Andy talk about the industry and the future of their combined companies.<\/p>\n

Q: What are customers most excited about with the merger?<\/h3>\n

AN:<\/strong> It\u2019s the same as us \u2013 the ability to more quickly deliver functionality that has a measurable impact on their business. It presents limitless development and innovation opportunities. Our teams are connected in a way that wasn\u2019t possible before, and that\u2019ll drive new and improved functionality, integration and system performance, quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n

SA:<\/strong> We have an accelerated pace of innovation together. A perfect example of this is our auto-affiliate offer solution. AddOns created a robust tool to allow operators to assign weights and priorities for auto-sending offers to affiliates. When an affiliate accepts, that information needs to be synched between the originator and executor. We can enable that much easier as a combined team.<\/p>\n

Q: How does the industry benefit from your teams coming together?<\/h3>\n

SA:<\/strong> Most exciting is our potential to tap into other assets within our new owner\u2019s portfolio of software companies. Fullsteam<\/a> has over 65 companies – from automotive maintenance and scheduling to hospitality and event planning. There\u2019s even an association management platform<\/a>, which could tremendously benefit transportation associations\u2014especially if it were part of Limo Anywhere.<\/p>\n

That is a unique value-add that only we can provide by virtue of our ownership dynamic. That\u2019s just scratching the surface, too\u2014the sky\u2019s the limit in terms of what future integrations could unlock for our industry.<\/p>\n

Q: What are the first things you\u2019ve set to achieve as a combined company?<\/h3>\n

AN:<\/strong> The most important things for us to bring together are communications and support. We want to answer your questions and help you leverage our platforms to best support your business, no matter if want to know about base functionality in Limo Anywhere, the new LA Pay<\/a> or the latest AddOns feature.<\/p>\n

SA:<\/strong> Getting to specifics, these are a few immediate changes you can expect.<\/p>\n
