Prioritizing Productivity: How Zeelo Helps Businesses Reclaim Time

As transport strikes and a rising cost of fuel persist in the UK, and similar challenges loom for US employees, the once-reliable and carefree daily commute has become a thing of the past. This poses a significant challenge for businesses that rely on high levels of productivity to meet their targets and goals.

In response to ongoing transportation disruptions, increased industrial action and the resulting absenteeism, businesses have started exploring staff transportation services. However, for many organizations, this endeavor often becomes more complex and time-consuming than initially anticipated, evolving into not only a financial burden but also an administrative nightmare.

Managing in-house staff transportation services has become a Pandora's box of administrative challenges as companies transition from the COVID-19 pandemic, where remote work was the norm, and warehouses seek to provide reliable transportation options for their employees. This shift forces businesses with little prior experience in employee transport management to navigate intricate processes.

Establishing/Procuring the Transportation Service: Setting up an effective transport service requires careful consideration of its purpose and goals. Procuring such a service can be a lengthy and demanding process due to the numerous steps involved. Organizations must conduct a thorough analysis of local operators to find a cost-effective and high-quality solution. The initial vetting process is crucial, but it can also be time-consuming. Contract negotiations further add to the administrative load, as pricing variations often lead to extended back-and-forth discussions.

Running the Transport Service: Managing an in-house employee transport service entails daily administrative tasks, such as ensuring punctuality, reaching all employees, monitoring costs, responding to enquiries or complaints and a plethora of other time-consuming minutae.

Maintaining the Service: While operators handle vehicle upkeep, in-house management is responsible for fostering and maintaining employee ridership. This includes communication with existing riders, creating marketing campaigns to engage more employees, and addressing customer complaints. Building a strong rapport with riders is vital for service success, as these services remain viable only when they are actively used.

This outline provides a glimpse of the challenges businesses face when managing staff transportation. Often, the complexity and administrative burden lead companies to seek dedicated staff to oversee these services, incurring financial costs and diverting attention from more critical business matters.

Financial Implications: In-House vs. Zeelo

The upfront costs of in-house staff transportation often do not account for hidden expenses, which can quickly turn a cost-effective service into a financial burden. In-house services face financial disadvantages due to a lack of central procurement benefits and limited industry expertise. Zeelo, with seven years of experience and industry contacts, negotiates and tailors services to save clients money. After 12 months, Zeelo customers typically save an average of 40% on existing transportation services.

In-house operations often miss opportunities to optimize routes due to time constraints and lack of experience. Zeelo benefits from RINA, our data-driven AI routing system, and dedicated teams that monitor and adjust services for optimal efficiency. We can also adapt to changing demands, offering flexibility when employees work from home or optimizing routes to reduce complexity.
