Challenges in managing Employee Transportation:

Managing the operations of Corporate Employee transportation (http://www.suntelematics.com/employee-transportation-solutions/) is very complex and dynamic. For example, the average head count of a BPO company, would be in the range of 1500 to 2000 employees and their geographical residing location would be spread across various parts of the city. The challenge for any Transport Manager will be to make sure that all the employees are provided pick-up and drop as per the shift schedule with a minimum travel time. To do so, the transport manager must roll out a control mechanism to monitor and address critical issues with the transport vendor.

Some of the pain areas in managing transport operations are Aligning the vehicles as per shift time, Deviation in Transport Process by the vendor, Optimising the number of routes, Low seat utilisation, Billing and Accounting errors, Verification and validation of MIS reports and most importantly, employee's concerns like Safety issues, longer travel duration, frequent changes in the roster and unscheduled trips.
