Leading bicycle rental software company Bike Rental Manager has partnered with bicycle comparison platform Bikmo to provide data for use within the Bikmo system.
The partnership will see structured data from the huge Bikmo database used within the rental software, reducing upfront effort for any bicycle rental operator by allowing product data to be selected, rather than having to manually input it.
Bikmo aims to simplify the shopping process and brings together all the information a consumer needs ‘on every piece of cycling equipment available on the market.’ The consumer can then view all available media and rider reviews for a chosen product and find the best deals on it across the UK.
With over 50 online retailers and 2500 local independent retailers to choose from in one location, Bikmo notes that ‘finding that perfect bike or accessory could not be easier.’
Doug Stoddart, Bike Rental Manager Founder and CEO said “We’ve been looking for a data partner for some time to streamline the fleet management process within Bike Rental Manager. Bikmo have a great database and we’re working closely to tailor data requirements to our system. Their API will allow seamless transfer of data between our two systems. The result will be quicker fleet set-up and a more professional presentation to the end-user.”
David George, Bikmo Founder and CEO said “We’re delighted to be working alongside the only dedicated bike rental system in the market, and being able to use our data across the 7 countries BRM operates in. We’ve spent a lot of time designing our system and database to be the leader in the field and this partnership is recognition of our efforts.”
Bike Rental manager is in its fourth year of operation, has clients in 7 countries and in 2014 is aiming to double the £1 million rentals processed in 2013.
Bikmo (formerly Projekt 313) is a new, UK based cycle comparison website designed to make the whole bike buying process so much easier; and, for a limited time, athletes and fans can be a part of the company too for as little as £10. The business is currently raising investment to develop the site further via a crowd funding campaign on Seedrs.
