• This is a great solution for Banks who spend over N2.8bn annually (on 1,050 cars) or large logistics firms. With this solution, all cars are owned by central administration while branches or units requests for these vehicle on an on-demand basis and as a shared service. This means that if staff of branch A is moving from the island to the mainland, he is most likely going to share the same vehicle with a staff of Branch B and C who are moving to about the same destination at about the same time. Staff can also check trip schedules and determine which trip(s) to join. Trip costs are then shared amongst the 3 branches and mapped to their P&L. Numbers have shown that Banks are able to save over N0.78bn annually from logistics expenses.

Estimated annual budget for a bank with 1,050 cars.
