Corporate Features

Carbon heroes has been designed to have an intuitive user experience incorporating interactive maps to illustrate journeys and potential matches. The details of each match are displayed, showing the other user’s name, the timing of their journey and its origin, so that they can choose the most convenient option.

The system includes a peer rating engine, so that users can leave feedback for one another, increasing confidence in the other party’s reliability.

Users can track their ongoing mileage and CO2 savings. A viral component allows users to invite a colleague that lives nearby to share their commute, or one that will be attending the same meeting to share a business journey.

The most common reservation towards car sharing is, naturally enough, the thought of travelling with strangers.

Carbon heroes validates all employees, either through their corporate e-mail address or through their employer directly. This means that all users can have confidence that they'll be travelling with a bona fide colleague.

The system includes a peer rating engine, allows users to exchange mobile phone numbers prior to travelling and gives the passenger the details of the car in which they'll be picked up. These all serve to give users confidence prior to sharing journeys.

The carbon heroes® system incorporates company locations and can configure corporate events, making journeys easier to enter and report upon.

For clients that choose to offer priority car parking, the system can generate parking permits for sharers’ vehicles and report upon journeys terminating at each location, to ensure that active car sharers benefit from the arrangement.

Many organisations spend heavily on private car hire and taxis to move their employees whilst on business. This can be a major expense which, whilst necessary, can be reduced where some journeys are duplicated. In some cases this can be to and from the airport, a city centre, or to visit another company office, or that of a major client or partner.

Carbon heroes® includes functionality for taxi journeys to be matched, either with other taxi booking or with those colleagues planning to drive, thereby reducing corporate travel expenditure.

The success of each project is limited unless the client actively promotes it to their employees and introduces incentives for those that share their travel. Carbon heroes® assists clients with issues that can span Human Resources, Facilities Management, Health, Safety and Environment, Internal Communications and Rewards and Benefits. We also Assist in the project management of deploying the service, taking as involved a role as each client requires.

We proactively account manage clients, analysing levels of activity and assisting with growing the community of sharers within each organisation.
