Companies typically outsource their bus fleet and pay between €1.5 and €3/day/employee for daily transport. For 1,000 employees and 20 working days, that means €30,000–€60,000/month just on commuting costs.
€30,000–€60,000/month
Typical commuting cost for 1,000 employees
Context and challenges
Manual planning generates:
Allocation errors and route overlaps
Manual planning leads to overlaps and incorrect employee-to-route assignments, causing confusion and delays.
Cost increase of up to 20%
Route planning inefficiencies can increase transport costs by up to 20% due to extra kilometers traveled.
Monitoring and reporting difficulties
The lack of real-time data makes efficient monitoring and accurate transport activity reporting impossible.
The value of ETplan
Dynamic route optimization
Algorithms analyzing traffic, time windows, and real distances reduce costs by 10–27%.
Fleet and overtime reduction
One client went from 42 to 23 vehicles, cutting overtime transport expenses by 45%.
Automation and integration
Direct invoicing from the platform, real-time reports, and legal compliance eliminate repetitive tasks and data discrepancies.
