Uber for Business introduced customizable policy controls

that enable administrators to set day, time and pick-up location parameters for "pre-approved Uber trips," according to a blog post. For example, if a company has a policy that covers transportation home for employees working late, administrators can "simply set the days and time—for example Mon–Fri, 8 p.m. until 5 a.m. for rides originating from the office." The company noted that "more controls are coming soon" for its Uber for Business platform, which targets company accounts with features that already included central billing options and a dashboard for administrators. Since launching in July 2014, "thousands of companies have joined our business platform and hundreds of thousands of business trips have taken place around the world," Uber claimed.
