Bolt Business: Taking corporate travel to a new level in Azerbaijan

Improving the working conditions of employees and creating a high-quality, comfortable working environment are among the main priorities of every company's management. Ensuring a healthy working environment and employee comfort directly affect the quality of work and the success of the company. For this purpose, the Bolt mobile application launched the “Bolt Business” service in Azerbaijan a year ago. Emin Bayramli, Business Development Manager for “Bolt Business”, shared interesting facts about the advantages of the service and the achievements achieved.

What is “Bolt Business” and what advantages does it offer?

Currently operating in more than 40 markets, Bolt Business simplifies the travel needs of businesses of various sizes, from individual entrepreneurs to large teams of more than 1,000 employees. This service provides exclusive business opportunities, creates corporate accounts for companies and combines business trip booking and payment systems on one platform. There are no additional obligations, fees or minimum costs required to join the Bolt Business service. Companies make payments for trips by bank transfer based on reports, invoices and electronic receipts provided by Bolt Business on a monthly basis. This allows company employees to travel conveniently by selecting the company payment method in the Bolt app for each business trip.

How do companies manage trips using the service and what functions are available? Companies can benefit from the following opportunities using the Bolt Business service:

● Setting monthly limits (trip policies) – allows for correct individual and group scheduling and prevents abuse.

● User activation and deactivation – it is possible to add and remove employees according to the project duration.

● Route limits – provides regulation of trips to certain areas or regions.

● Category selection – the company can adjust the categories provided in the Bolt app (e.g. electric, comfort).

Do trips to regions and foreign countries also apply to business trips?

Yes, corporate trips are carried out in the same way in all cities and countries where the Bolt application is active. The company selects a payment method and books a trip, and the employee conveniently carries out a business trip. One year of Bolt Business service implementation in Azerbaijan: What achievements have been achieved? One of the important achievements in 2024 was cooperation with the COP29 event. About 6,000 coupons were presented as part of this event. Coupons are promo codes provided to volunteers involved during the event to use the Bolt Business service. This approach, in addition to ensuring efficient use of the service, also made employee trips more comfortable.

Overall, the number of Bolt Business customers during the year was higher than expected. Local and international companies operating in various fields, as well as employees and their family members, have benefited from the Bolt Business service as an additional advantage.

It should be noted that Bolt Business is currently being successfully implemented in Azerbaijan and continues to expand its user base. For more information: Freedom of movement for companies | Bolt Business
