Cost optimization with online pooling
Book a car from the carpool or find a suitable car sharing opportunity: Mobility Solutions Ltd manages the fleets of Swiss Post and other customers and ensures better vehicle utilization.
Antonia Stalder from the Sustainability department needs to go to the Härkingen letter center. She checks MoS Move Center, the online portal for combined mobility, where she can reserve a vehicle from the Swiss Post carpool. But before she does that, she enters some basic information about her trip into the integrated car sharing platform. And sure enough: Manuel Fuchs from Corporate Communication is leaving at the same time, driving from Berne to Olten for a meeting.
Antonia sends Manuel a message asking if she can go with him. Manuel agrees, and the two meet at the arranged time at the car. Sharing the trip, they save money and do a little to help the environment. As luck would have it, Manuel is due to write soon about a sustainability project that Antonia is supervising, and they take advantage of the drive to exchange information about it. Manuel is enthusiastic and from then on books a car share whenever possible, even for commuting to and from work. When he reserves a vehicle from the carpool himself, he enters the trip into the integrated car sharing platform so that people looking to share a car can find it.
MoS Move Center is a service provided by Mobility Solutions Ltd. A subsidiary of Swiss Post, it manages the fleets of all subsidiaries and of other external customers. To accomplish this task as efficiently as possible, Mobility Solutions Ltd relies on modern Internet-based tools. MoS Move Center displays the trips that employees are planning, and they can be conveniently shared by web platform or app. The vehicles in the pool are available to all employees, meaning capacity is better utilized. Together with PostBus, Mobility Solutions Ltd is also working to integrate public transport connections into the MoS Move Center.
Thanks to the Internet and mobile devices, we can now share vehicles and trips spontaneously.
