US car-sharing and ridesharing platform provider Ridecell is to power a new car-sharing program, Omni, being offered by Škoda Poland (part of 994 Volkswagen Group Poland).

The Omni service allows consumers to pick up and drop off Skoda vehicles at parking stations throughout the Warsaw metropolitan area. Consumers can sign up for the Omni service with a simple app-based registration process and then use the Omni app to access all available vehicles in the service. Ridecell developed the Omni-branded application and powers the back-end operations of the service.

The Omni service will take full advantage of the Ridecell platform including end-to-end automation, instant driver verification, payment processing, demand/supply balancing and custom analytics. The Omni-branded app and all operational features are fully localised in Polish.
