The company faced absenteeism and rising costs due to an unreliable, employee-driven vanpool program
The program relied on employee-driven vans, leading to issues and problems. When drivers called out, vans didn’t show up, leaving groups of workers without a ride. This led to absenteeism and disrupted production lines, impacting the company’s bottom line. There were also safety risks, with employees driving long distances at odd hours and sometimes misusing vans during off-hours. The program lacked visibility, with no way to track where vehicles were or who was on them. The company needed a more reliable and manageable transportation solution.
Optimizing existing transportation programs to reduce risks and improve efficiency
Zeelo replaced the unreliable vanpool program with a fully managed transportation service, optimizing the existing setup. The number of vehicles was reduced from over 15 vans to 5 buses across 9 routes, making the program more efficient. This change helped reduce risks, such as accidents or breakdowns with employees driving, and stopped the misuse of vans during off-hours. Zeelo handled all logistics, including route planning, driver management, and rider communication, freeing up 60% of the HR team’s time. Zeelo spent significant time before launch educating riders and continues to help promote the program. The new service ensures employees arrive on time, even during shift changes, and helps the company recruit and retain workers from farther away.
Zeelo provides crucial support for employees, ensuring reliable transportation to and from the worksite, especially during shift changes. This service offers a significant sense of security and greatly assists those who face transportation challenges.

Improving recruitment and retention with safer, cost-effective transportation solutions

The new program saved the company an estimated $100k annually in admin costs and prevented $30k in monthly production losses by reducing missed shifts. With safer, fully managed transportation, the risk from employee-driven vans was eliminated. HR's workload dropped by 60%, freeing up valuable time. The improved service allows the company to hire workers from farther away, supporting staffing needs across all shifts.
