A company travel plan is something many companies include as part of their bigger approach to operational management.

Ensuring that employees have the means and know-how to get to work is something more companies are taking into account.

Car sharing is a system that has many rewards for both companies and their employees, not only does it provide employees with a cheaper means of getting to work but it also drastically reduces the amount of parking space required!

How to set up a carsharing scheme can be a complex challenge to most businesses or organisations.

Things to consider are:

• How to circulate details of journeys that are available for sharing or requested by employees within the organisation
• How to allow employees to pick from suitable matches
• How to ensure employees can have maps of pick up points
• How to ensure employess have a fair means for calculating costs to share
• How to set up groups for individual departments or events such as conferences or meetings
• How to provide employees with a means of communication and negotiating with each other without taking up much work time on the phone or using email.

  Solutions to these problems can provide much work for the organiser of such a scheme within your company, it could even turn into a full time job for someone UNLESS you opt for using a ready made scheme such as

• We can create a standalone web site for your company that is either integrated with our national database of car sharers allowing your employees to find lifts to work with users who are not employees of your company (note: this only works one way - public users may not catch lifts with your employees but your employees may catch lifts with public users if no-one within your company is providing the same journey) or is exclusively for your own company employees, both have their advantages
• We can integrate our technology into your company intranet, we can either liaise with your own network adminstrator with a view to them performing the installation or we can install the system for you.
