"But what about my LA Net partners?" — the honest answer
What LA Net actually is (and isn’t)
LA Net is a directory and trip-exchange layer between Limo Anywhere customers — a real convenience, and for some operators a source of inbound farm-ins. It’s fair to weigh it. But be precise about what you’d be giving up:
- Your existing partners: you keep them. Phone numbers, emails and rate agreements move with you, not with your software.
- Inbound farm-ins from LA Net discovery: this is the real loss. If a meaningful share of your monthly trips originates from partners who found you in the LA Net directory (not from partners who already know you), quantify it before switching — pull 90 days of farm-in sources and count.
- Trip data exchange: on LA Net, trip details flow system-to-system between LA subscribers. Off it, they flow via email/SMS trip sheets with reply-to-confirm. Slightly more friction on the first trip with a new partner; identical after that.
How farm-in / farm-out works on Limozoft
- Create the trip in dispatch and assign it to an affiliate instead of one of your own chauffeurs.
- Your partner receives the trip sheet by email or SMS with pickup, passenger and rate details — no Limozoft account required.
- Status updates (on-location, POB, drop-off) come back from your partner the way you already agree with them today — reply, phone, or shared status link — and you record them against the reservation.
- Affiliate payables are tracked per partner in the reservation record for month-end reconciliation.
If your workflow depends on a specific mechanism we haven’t described here, ask on the switch call — we’ll show it live rather than promise it in copy.
A worked example
Reserved for the first real customer running farm-outs on Limozoft. We’d rather leave this section empty than publish a hypothetical dressed as a case study.
The honest decision framework
Switching makes sense if most of your affiliate volume comes from partners you already know — which, for operators past their first year, is usually the case. Staying (or waiting) makes sense if LA Net directory discovery genuinely drives a material share of your revenue and you haven’t yet built direct relationships with those senders. We’d rather tell you that plainly than win a customer who churns in three months.
