Carpooling holds the promise of reducing fleet size, cutting operational expenses, and optimising vehicle utilisation – a trifecta of benefits for New Zealand businesses.
This approach is gaining traction among fleet managers, especially as organisations transition to more environmentally friendly operations with lower emissions.
Fleet sharing ensures optimal utilisation of the available vehicles and has the potential to decrease expenses related to maintaining more fleet vehicles than necessary.
But to be successful carpooling needs to be managed well. Where do you start? And how do you coordinate the booking process?
Making carpooling easy
Teletrac Navman has recently partnered with Orcoda, and its Connect solution, the market leader in carpooling software, to help make carpooling a good and easy option for Kiwi businesses. No more shared calendars, or issues with too many or too few vehicles.
To make managing pool cars as easy as possible you need a real-time, birds-eye view of your whole vehicle pooling fleet – without drowning in data.
Orcoda Connect enables effective pool management, meaning a big reduction in the workforce cost of managing fleet and user verification.
It also serves up a high-level snapshot of how your fleet’s doing across different spots, so you can make informed decisions and cut through the noise.
This carpooling solution combines the strengths of both platforms, delivering unrivalled efficiency, cost-effectiveness and convenience.
For those already using Teletrac Navman’s TN360, the company’s AI-enabled fleet management platform, you’ll be happy to hear that Orcoda Connect can be fully integrated into it.
Together Teletrac Navman’s vehicle tracking and Orcoda Connect’s pool vehicle booking system offer a seamless experience across desktop and mobile apps, enabling self-service, minimising no-shows, and maximising fleet utilisation.
