Contents

  1. 01

    Two roles, often both

    CPO and eMSP, what each earns, and why most networks of any size end up doing both.

  2. 02

    The modules that matter

    Locations, Tokens, Sessions, CDRs and Commands — in the order they affect your commercials.

  3. 03

    Pricing to a partner

    Retail pass-through versus a wholesale rate, and who carries the payment risk if the partner does not pay.

  4. 04

    Settlement and disputes

    Cadence, whose records govern, and how a driver complaint routes back to you with enough evidence to settle it.

  5. 05

    Publishing selectively

    Why you rarely want every site exposed, and what changes when your location data becomes someone else’s app content.

  6. 06

    When to decline

    Sites already at high utilisation, and the substitution risk of a discounted driver replacing a full-margin one.
