Trasporti
Zeelo creates 8,000 new jobs for frontline workers in the UK and US
"Our global economy is upheld by a workforce of frontline workers that need to travel on-site on a daily basis. As we emerge slowly from a health crisis and navigate an uncertain climate dominated by a global recession, financial market volatility, an energy crisis, political instability and job insecurity, I'm proud that Zeelo has been able to contribute to enabling job security for key workers and reduce unnecessary social and workforce exclusion purely because most people can only affordably live in developed markets in areas that have poor public transport infrastructure."
"Bus transport may not sound like an obvious space for technology innovation, but at Zeelo we've used tech to bridge a gap in public sector services that not only helped us accelerate our 70% year-on-year growth as a business, it has allowed us to have a real social and economic impact as our job creation data illustrates."
Zeelo's end-to-end and tech-enabled transport management system is powered by proprietary routing software RINA and built on a business model to partner with hundreds of family-run, long-established national and local bus operator partners. AI and demographic data is fed into Zeelo's purpose-built SaaS platform to identify the fastest and greenest routes for regular commutes from hotspots where skilled workers and families live across the UK, US and South Africa . Additional consumer apps for drivers and riders enable Zeelo and its customers to track and monitor bus services, occupancy levels, punctuality and rider safety.
Zeelo has also passed SOC2 Type I and Type II audits to become fully certified to the highest standards of information security to protect the privacy of rider data. This accreditation has enabled Zeelo to accelerate and scale business in the US market where SOC2 compliance is a prerequisite to secure enterprise contracts.
Zeelo is a smart bus platform for organisations. The global tech company is modernising daily bus commutes for frontline workers and students so that they can get to work and school in a faster, smarter, and much greener way. Zeelo serves large businesses and independent schools and moves nearly 150,000 riders each month across the world. Zeelo's tech-optimised bus routes not only reduce carbon emissions by 78% by replacing 30 cars for every bus journey, but also offset 100% of each Zeelo bus journey. Its innovative transport management software system comprises a SaaS platform, proprietary routing algorithms, and multiple consumer apps, and 24/7 customer service support (4.9 TrustPilot rating) that ensure people located in transport deserts have a regular, subsidised and sustainable bus service for their daily commute, wherever they are based. Headquartered in London with over 160 employees, an R&D team in Spain and live operations in the UK, South Africa and the US, Zeelo was founded in 2016 by Sam Ryan , Barney Williams and Dani Ruiz . It closed its Series A in 2018 and has raised over US$ 30 million in funding, including VC-backed investment from ETF Partners, InMotion Ventures and Dynamo. The co-founders previously sold their pioneering ride-sharing app JumpIn to Addison Lee in 2014. For additional information, please visit www.zeelo.co.
