NEW YORK, Jan. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Last month, CMT announced the sale of Mobile Knowledge, a taxi dispatch solutions provider, to iCabbi, a provider of cloud-based taxi dispatch programs throughout Europe and North America.

As part of this newly formed global strategic alliance, CMT will become iCabbi's preferred payment provider for its global customer base and, in return, iCabbi will become CMT's preferred dispatch partner for its customer base. This will result in more than 150,000 taxis across the world benefiting from the synergies and strengths both companies bring to the table.

CMT and iCabbi's partnership will completely transform the way customers use and pay for ground transportation throughout the USA and Europe. Through iCabbi's cloud-based technologies, customers will be able to book rides and track driver's locations while at the same time integrating CMT's payment platform for a seamless transportation experience.
