ButterFli is the name of the company, but if you do business with them it's Delilah, John, Krishna, and Airron!
The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and the VA have had a long standing relationship with each other in order to transport our veterans who need rides to and from their medical appointments at the VA hospitals. For more than 30 years, we have heavily relied on volunteers to give their time and energy to the veterans in need; and fortunately--this year we had the opportunity to look for a separate solution--to look for a partner to expand our services outside the volunteer realm.
I reached out to ButterFLi, and met Miss Krishna--which would soon turn into a very healthy relationship with their team. The whole team is responsive. The whole team is accessible. The whole team is genuinely mindful of the necessities and inner workings of what is needed to meet the consumers needs. The whole team cares deeply about not only our satisfaction as the resource of the transportation solution we needed to become, but the satisfaction of our passengers--who if you know many veterans, can be difficult to please! But most of all, the whole team is completely accommodating. Let me give you an example.
For our particular solution, we did not have an idea of what was going to work for the VA due to a lot of hands in the logistical pot. ButterFLi provided a vehicle that met the initial needs of the hospital, which ended up not serving the needs at the end of the day. The VA needed a larger vehicle to provide access to wheelchair bound patients, which ButterFLi did not have on-hand. Instead of backing us into a corner because they didn't have the resources, ButterFli purchased a vehicle specific for our solution, and now have been transporting our veterans since 2019.
The company may be young, but the wisdom is mature. Collectively, the team that works at ButterFLi has been in the business for many years--and they understand what it takes (on a personal level, as well as the legal side) to transport an array of individuals. I've learned a lot from them during this process of working with them, and I look forward to working with them more, to help find more solutions to our veterans' transportation needs.
I absolutely can write more about the things that have helped win me over, but what it all comes down to is that... when I do business with a company, the last thing I want to do, is get off the phone and wish we were working with someone else. ButterFLi is not that company. In fact I highly recommend to anyone looking for transportation solutions to reach out to this team (whether that solution be for one person for one day... or 30 people for 3 years). They are problem solvers, from the road to the wallet--and DAV California is blessed to have them on our team!
Thank you for your service!
