Problem
Many companies face challenges in optimizing parking space, reducing employee fuel costs, and promoting sustainable mobility solutions due to low carpool adoption rates. Traditional carpooling programs often fail because they don't adequately address employee preferences, logistical complexities, and behavioral barriers to ride-sharing.
Solution
Swidg offers a comprehensive carpool platform and change program designed to increase carpool adoption within organizations. The platform uses a proprietary matching algorithm to connect employees based on location, timing, and personal preferences, making it easy to find optimal carpool matches. Swidg also provides a tailored change program that identifies behavioral barriers and motivational triggers through employee surveys, enabling companies to design effective incentives and reduce obstacles to carpooling. The platform includes a mobile app for managing planned rides, real-time trip tracking, and communication with carpool partners, as well as a company dashboard to monitor program progress and environmental impact.
