A tailor-made change program to introduce carpool effectively
-
We help you understand the potential of carpooling for your company. We assess its feasibility, identify viable matches within time and distance constraints. We calculate the potential financial savings and ecological impact.
Through a proprietary matching algorithm, Swidg compares all possible matches, considering geographical and timing parameters.
Swidg gives you an accurate and segmented view of your company’s carpool potential.
-
Through a survey, we explore employees’ mobility patterns and identify their main behavioural barriers and motivational triggers.
The survey gives access to a calculator, where employees can input their personal preferences and information and discover how much they could save by carpooling.
We then design the change program together. We keep into account the specific needs of your company and your workforce to unlock the full potential of carpool, making it a convenient and attractive option for commuters.
-
Through Swidg, colleagues can find ideal carpool matches taking into account time, location and preferences.
The details of all planned carpool rides are available on the platform, which also sends prompts and reminders so that carpoolers do not miss out on any trip.
Features such as the chat, the trip tracker, and the carpool community dashboard to monitor progress, make carpooling as convenient as possible.
FOR EMPLOYERS
For companies that are pursuing sustainable transformation also through improved mobility and colleagues’ engagement.
FOR EMPLOYEES
For commuters who want to reduce their ecological footprint or are happy to drive with a colleague, but with no compromise on comfort.
About us
swidg is a product of TakeASeat bv, a spin-off of UHasselt.
What brought us together is the research around improved mobility and around the barriers that, so far, have held commuters from sharing a ride.
Swidg is the result of the marriage between a carpooling matching algorithm developed in the scope of a PhD study of UHasselt and a business research project conducted as final assignment of an Executive MBA at AMS.
