Who buys a fleet, ride-hailing & mobility platform in Latvia

Example: fleet, ride-hailing & mobility platform for a drones business in Daugavpils

Payments would run through SEPA Instant, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on manual hours saved, error rate and customer response time.
