Reducing operational costs by making commuting easier
Running a staff shuttle service doesn’t just move people; it protects your bottom line. With Zeelo, many employers find that transport pays for itself through lower recruitment spend, higher retention, and shared contributions from riders.

Zeelo worked with Tesco's procurement team to find opportunities to improve their existing commuter shuttles at 2 different sites, consistently reducing the cost per rider by 84% within a year, whilst growing ridership to over 10,000 monthly bookings.

Zeelo helped Fidelity make huge annualised savings on their corporate transportation services by optimising vehicle sizes to reflect ridership. By analysing the usage data after a trial month, we spotted that several journeys across 4 routes were significantly under-utilised. We convinced the client to remove the journeys, creating an annualised saving of £420,732.

Zeelo has been the preferred transportation of Avara Foods since 2019, growing our service management to 8 sites. Avara was able to leverage our self service booking App to move away from using salary sacrifice to charge their employees for transport. Within a year, Zeelo was able to optimise their commuter program to reduce the cost per rider by 78%, whilst reducing internal overhead by centralising their transport operations.

I already have a service running. Can Zeelo help me reduce costs?
Absolutely. Zeelo can work with your existing operator to improve how your current transport is managed. By optimising routes, vehicle sizes and pricing models, we can reduce costs whilst maintaining or improving the quality of service for your passengers.
Will introducing transport services increase my operational costs?
Not necessarily. In many cases, Zeelo is able to create cost-neutral or low-cost solutions by sharing costs with employees or generating savings elsewhere, such as in recruitment, retention and parking costs.
What sort of ROI should I expect from launching a staff transport program?
Each organisation is different, but our clients typically see measurable improvements in retention, punctuality and productivity, as well as reductions in recruitment costs and absenteeism. Our team will work with you to model the potential ROI and build a business case.
Do I need to manage drivers, vehicles and payments myself?
No. Zeelo handles the full end-to-end operation, from booking and payments to vehicle supply and customer support, so you don’t need any prior experience running transport services.
How do you determine pricing?
Zeelo considers your organisation's needs when determining pricing. This includes routes, vehicle size, schedules and more. After your introduction to Zeelo and a free non-obligation consultation, we'll provide you with a pricing proposal.
