UCA required a reliable and efficient transportation solution to connect students between its various campuses; while minimising the time and burden spent managing the administrative logistics of such a task. In addition, the university required seamless logistics for an Open Day event, transporting over 750 prospective students from across the UK to each of its four locations. Coordinating transport on this scale, all the while ensuring a smooth rider experience for students and staff alike, was a complex challenge that required careful planning and execution.
For UCA's Open Day event, Zeelo's private hire team coordinated with 14 different operators across the country to ensure that every prospective student arrived on time and with a smooth experience of the journey. With data led optimisation, hand selected drivers and 24/7 customer support, Zeelo was able to reduce the administrative burden and workload for UCA staff while maintaining a high quality and stress free transportation service.
Without the burden of transportation logistics, UCA's student recruitment team were able to focus on delivering an exceptional Open Day experience for prospective students; with the event running seamlessly without issue. Feedback from both students and staff alike was overwhelmingly positive; UCA's staff appreciating Zeelo's clear communication, driver allocation and professionalism and attention to detail. The provision of a trusted and optimised shuttle service not only improves the efficiency of daily campus transportation but also played a key role in enhancing student recruitment efforts.
