CHallenge

Wincanton needed help to access and retain staff

Wincanton needed to access and retain staff to assist HMRC in undertaking inbound checks, minimising congestion at ports, and ensuring safe operational areas by reducing congestion and car parking requirements. The company also needed to centralise their transportation requirements management and to simplify their billing process across all sites.

Solution

Zeelo mobilises operations across 6 sites the UK within a week

Zeelo mobilised six sites across the UK within the first week,operating 12 routes with 24 vehicles. Using our user-friendly mobile app, employees were able to book, track and manage their trips supported by Zeelo’s 5 star customer service team operating 24/7 to assist with any issues. As this was a brand new service, we also built flexibility into the contract to ensure the most efficient, optimised solution for Wincanton and the employees.

Recruitment and retention of shift based workers was a key challenge for Wincanton, convenient transport solutions were required to attract essential staff. We provided efficient routes tailored to employee’s needs and provide access for those poorly served by public transport at a cost accessible to all employees.
