Carpooling app

Rich Content Section

Three people meet in front of a car to commute together to their workplace.

Background

50 percent of all employees commute to work by car – most of them alone. Swiss Post wants to counteract this and reduce the number of commuter vehicles by offering its carpooling app.

Carpooling means that you share your vehicle trip with other people. Swiss Post specializes in carpooling within companies, enabling people to share their journey to work with other employees. Carpooling...

  • reduces car journeys, leading to lower CO2 emissions
  • and decreasing parking shortages.

Benefits for employees

Save or earn money

The solution

Bookings can be made and journeys combined very easily via an app. The solution uses a range of new approaches to encourage participation:

  • The driver receives a financial incentive for each journey and passenger. This amount is paid by the company.
  • Employees are motivated to carpool on a regular basis thanks to challenges and prizes.
