Earlier this month Splyt, a UK company which presents itself as “a leader in tech solutions for the urban mobility industry,” opened an office in the Russian capital.
Splyt will provide its white label solutions to local taxi and ride-hailing services willing to measure themselves against such giants as Uber, Gett or Yandex.Taxi.
Among these solutions is the ‘Splyt Roaming API’, which connects local services to e-hailing and taxi companies across the globe through a single backend integration. Thus local companies can expand their reach and retain their customers when they travel outside of their operational area.
Currently Splyt’s network encompasses several countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle-East and Asia.
The UK company’s solutions will be made available to Russian taxi companies in a few months, the company’s founder and CEO, Phillip Mintchin, told Kommersant.
The company also has an R&D team in Russia..
