The bm|t par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpates in PAULfaehrtBus.de<\/strong><\/em>, a prod\u00aduct of Mag\u00adni\u00adtude Inter\u00adnet GmbH, via the Thuringian Start-up Fund (TSF).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will tear down the exist\u00ading hur\u00addles in occa\u00adsional trans\u00adport,\u201d says the devel\u00adop\u00aders of PAULfaehrtBus.de<\/strong><\/em>. \u201cOcca\u00adsional or char\u00adter trans\u00adport is pre\u00adcisely the area that every bus oper\u00ada\u00adtor has con\u00adtrol over in terms of sales and can there\u00adfore also decide for them\u00adselves how their com\u00adpany grows,\u201d adds Dirk Paasche, Man\u00adag\u00ading Direc\u00adtor of Mag\u00adni\u00adtude Inter\u00adnet GmbH.
\nIn con\u00adtrast to local pub\u00adlic trans\u00adport and reg\u00adu\u00adlar ser\u00advices, bus oper\u00ada\u00adtors can act them\u00adselves in occa\u00adsional trans\u00adport \u2014 i.e. hir\u00ading buses for indi\u00advid\u00adual trips, excur\u00adsions or school trips \u2014 and set their own rules. But unfor\u00adtu\u00adnately, to this day, this area remains more of a casual busi\u00adness for most com\u00adpa\u00adnies. The hur\u00addles to talk\u00ading directly to cus\u00adtomers are great, inter\u00adme\u00addi\u00adaries dom\u00adi\u00adnate the indus\u00adtry and the dig\u00adi\u00adtal trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion leaves this busi\u00adness sec\u00adtor weak due to a lack of products.
\nThe mar\u00adket is dom\u00adi\u00adnated by travel agents, who have con\u00adtact with cus\u00adtomers but mostly do not own their own buses. For this rea\u00adson, there are broadly spread enquiries to com\u00adpet\u00ading bus com\u00adpa\u00adnies on a daily basis, which leads to an enor\u00admous per\u00adson\u00adnel effort for the prepa\u00adra\u00adtion of offers, but hardly to suc\u00adcess\u00adful busi\u00adness deals for the bus companies.<\/p>\n

What exactly does PAULfaehrtBus.de<\/em> do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

PAULfaehrtBus.de<\/strong><\/em> pro\u00advides bus com\u00adpa\u00adnies with tools to influ\u00adence their own suc\u00adcess again and, above all, to struc\u00adture and organ\u00adise it. An enquiry and book\u00ading sys\u00adtem inte\u00adgrated on the bus com\u00adpa\u00adny\u2019s web\u00adsite enables end cus\u00adtomers to directly enquire about offers with imme\u00addi\u00adate book\u00ading and pay\u00adment options. By means of intel\u00adli\u00adgent rules and cal\u00adcu\u00adla\u00adtion rou\u00adtines, each bus oper\u00ada\u00adtor sets its own con\u00addi\u00adtions, on the basis of which PAULfaehrtBus.de<\/strong><\/em> can act com\u00adpletely autonomously. The processes run\u00adning in the back\u00adground reduce the time required for offers by up to 99%, fil\u00adter out \u201cfake enquiries\u201d and deliver cus\u00adtomer enquiries directly to the bus com\u00adpa\u00adnies in future.
\nThis means that every searcher receives an answer imme\u00addi\u00adately with\u00adout any loss of time and can also book directly or pay con\u00adve\u00adniently via all com\u00admon pay\u00adment meth\u00adods. The employ\u00adees who are thus relieved can finally take care of what they are sup\u00adposed to do: the care of the \u201creal\u201d inter\u00adested par\u00adties and cus\u00adtomers. The result is enor\u00admously higher clos\u00ading rates with extremely less effort for every\u00adone involved. A win-win sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion, so to speak, for buy\u00aders and sell\u00aders. Thanks to the inte\u00adgrated cus\u00adtomer man\u00adage\u00adment for bus com\u00adpa\u00adnies, all enquiries are retained, can be viewed and eval\u00adu\u00adated at any time and can be used for fur\u00adther mar\u00adket\u00ading campaigns.
\nTo make this really work, PAULfaehrtBus.de<\/strong><\/em> also mod\u00adernises the inter\u00adnet pres\u00adence of bus com\u00adpa\u00adnies so that enquiries can also be made very eas\u00adily via mobile devices such as smart\u00adphones and tablets.
\nNow, one might think that the advan\u00adtages described are in them\u00adselves a great step for\u00adward for every bus oper\u00ada\u00adtor. But Dirk Paasche adds with a smile: \u201cWe are rev\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion\u00adis\u00ading the bus indus\u00adtry and there\u00adfore we offer another very impor\u00adtant advan\u00adtage for every\u00adone. We net\u00adwork the entire bus indus\u00adtry with each other and make coop\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion child\u2019s play. Via the cloud, every\u00adone is con\u00adnected who pre\u00advi\u00adously planned and han\u00addled joint projects by phone or e\u2011mail. Only with the small but sub\u00adtle dif\u00adfer\u00adence that they can now all syn\u00adchro\u00adnise and dis\u00adtrib\u00adute their resources with each other in real time.\u201d
\nCon\u00adclu\u00adsion:<\/strong> The prod\u00aduct of Mag\u00adni\u00adtude Inter\u00adnet GmbH PAULfaehrtBus.de<\/strong><\/em> is ready for use and has been exten\u00adsively tested. It can reduce the effort for every bus com\u00adpany in occa\u00adsional trans\u00adport, increase the clos\u00ading rate and avoid wait\u00ading for offers for enquir\u00aders. A real added value for sell\u00aders and buy\u00aders. The costs for a licence are sur\u00adpris\u00adingly low and thus a pos\u00adsi\u00adble option even for small providers to gain momen\u00adtum in the occa\u00adsional trans\u00adport market.
\nIt is the dig\u00adi\u00adtal trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion in occa\u00adsional traffic.<\/p>\n

How was Magnitude Internet GmbH able to convince the investors?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The founders know how to suc\u00adcess\u00adfully estab\u00adlish soft\u00adware on the mar\u00adket due to their many years of activ\u00adity in the IT mar\u00adket. Through close ties to the bus indus\u00adtry, they know exactly which solu\u00adtions are being sought and where com\u00adpeti\u00adtors are cur\u00adrently stand\u00ading. The fin\u00adished soft\u00adware can be mar\u00adketed directly and cur\u00adrently has no com\u00adpe\u00adti\u00adtion worth mentioning.<\/p>\n
