Ubiwhere and Proef together in the development of an efficient and sustainable fleet management solution
We increasingly seek to walk the path of sustainability in cities, and it was in this sense we worked with Proef in the project Thumbeo Corporate. The new version of the Thumbeo Corporate platform will help companies manage their fleet more efficiently and sustainably.
This solution combines fleet sharing capabilities with a car-sharing marketplace. It will enable different companies to share their fleets of unused vehicles, reducing the high investment risk of buying new vehicles or long-term leasing contracts.
Thumbeo Corporate is a smart solution that digitises a company’s fleet management by allowing car sharing between company employees. The solution embedded in the cloud enables fleet managers to collect vehicle data (consumption, travel and maintenance costs, usage patterns). At the same time, the mobile application allows company employees to search and book trips, report vehicle problems, and record expenses and costs associated with the travel or vehicle.
The car-sharing marketplace is the next step in this tool that combines the sharing economy concept with corporate fleet management technology. This solution meets a challenge to overcome in companies: having a large fleet that often goes unused, especially during periods of lower productivity.
Proef has been testing this Ubiwhere solution in Trofa, and the next step will be to share a part of our fleet with our partners, such as small companies in the tourism and catering sector, in periods of higher tourist flow Portugal. This way, we are contributing to more sustainable mobility and reduction of the ecological footprint on our planet.
