Roadside Assistance Apps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'GotU' App Helps You Summon Help If Your Car Breaks Down

— September 23, 2016 — Autos
GotU is an innovative new roadside assistance app, available for use in Australia, that is designed to ensure that drivers who find themselves with a broken-down or malfunctioning vehicle on the side of the highway can get the help they need to be up and on their way.

What's great about the GotU app is the fact that it's linked to a service that operates over 400 service vehicles in the cities of Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, which means that users who summon help usually wait no longer than half hour. The app even allows users to use GPS tracking to see where the nearest service vehicle is. They can then use the app to pay a fee of $89 to jump-start a battery or $99 for on-the-go fueling.

There are few things more stressful than a car problem that you don't know how to fix. With its comprehensive and fairly priced services, GotU ensures that you can take to the road with peace of mind.
Trend Themes
1. Digital Roadside Assistance - Opportunity to invest in the integration of technology in traditional roadside assistance services
2. Location-based Services - Opportunity to develop apps and services that use GPS tracking for on-demand service and convenience
3. Alternative Payment Solutions - Opportunity to offer flexible and seamless payment options through apps for services and products
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Industry - Opportunity to partner with roadside assistance apps to offer value-added services for car owners
2. Technology Industry - Opportunity to develop similar roadside assistance apps in different markets and expand the reach of the service
3. Payment Industry - Opportunity to integrate payment solutions into roadside assistance apps and create a new industry niche
