Route and Cost Optimization

To increase the profitability of companies, it is necessary to focus on labor productivity, cost reduction, enhancing business activities, and optimal utilization of available assets. Although such opportunities are tried to be created with experts of the relevant fields, who work within the company, it is also necessary to select "right" business partners who are experts in their fields, manages processes correctly, and causes the least questions and problems in order to receive contributions for the process from outside services.

One of the services that are mostly outsourced by companies is the shuttle transportation service. The shuttle service, even though it is not compulsory to be provided by companies, is one of the most important conditions for employees to choose to work in that workplace. Unfortunately, in some cases, choosing the shuttle company based solely on the cost causes some material (either get noticed too late or never), and non-material damages. This service that is bought to motivate employees can even create dissatisfactions and complaints about companies…

• Passengers spending too much time on the shuttle
• Vehicles that run late or be absent without notice
• Passengers bearing the responsibility of knowing the route because of uninformed drivers
• Difficulty in determining late/non-operating vehicles
• Directing drivers to another route by aggreging with passengers
• Not sharing contact information of the new driver in case of vehicle/driver change
