New Carbon Voyage Business Portal

Carbon Voyage has just released a new SME portal allowing our customers to have business accounts. This provides a simple to use web platform to manage ground transport needs (taxis and airport train services). The key benefits of using our service are:

Single portal to compare and choose different transport options and their different costs.

Ability to save money through sharing taxis and filling empty return journeys.

Financial and environmental reporting, and offsetting of carbon emissions (through Planet Positive).

Bookings can be made online or via our dedicated business 24/7 call centre. 

The service is presently available in London. If you are interested in trying the service, you can register online or email info @ carbonvoyage.com.  The full features are:

Bookings

  • Ability to book for people in your organisation. 
  • Passenger notification via sms optional.
  • Send courier packages via taxis.

Consolidated Management Information

  • Ability to see total business spend, team spend and/or individual spend (financial and carbon).
  • Bookings linked to cost codes.
  • All bookings recorded so there is a single consolidated receipt/ spreadsheet of entire transport spend.
  • Exportable spreadsheet/ .csv file to accounting software.

Sharing Portal

  • Ability to find your own shares within your network/ business.

Business Rules and Preferences

  • Pre-population of common business destinations (eg. Head office, branch offices).
  • Preferred fleets.
  • Permissions about using particular vehicle types.
  • Set approval limits for individual staff spend. When a staff member gets close to their limit, we will advise the manager who can then prevent future use/ increase budgeted spend etc.

Customer Support

  • Email Support.
  • Call Centre.

 

Carbon Voyage becomes Planet Positive

A few months ago, we met with the guys at dCarbon8 and PlanetPositive and really liked what they were up to, so much so that we decided to work with them to not only to offset our own carbon emissions, but also to assist in reducing the carbon emitted by our customers when using our service.

Like them, we don’t look at carbon offsetting as an easy fix or something that can be used as the sole means of reducing our impact on the environment. Rather, carbon offsetting should be the final part of a broader strategy which must start with making a positive reduction in the carbon you create. They way we try and do this for our customers is to firstly provide them with green travel options and help them understand the impact that their travel will make on the environment, and then secondly provide them with opportunities to share vehicles and fill empty return journeys.
