Treepz: Data analytics, route optimization & GPS tracking to improve operational efficiency

In a groundbreaking move towards revolutionizing corporate mobility in Africa, Treepz has identified key trends and shifts in the industry, driving businesses towards greater efficiency and operational excellence. Onyeka Akumah, the CEO of Treepz, recently joined CNBC Africa to discuss the state of corporate mobility in Africa and the company's plans for the future. Treepz's state of corporate mobility in Africa report emphasizes the importance of data analytics, route optimization, and GPS tracking technologies in improving operational efficiency and enhancing the user experience within the transportation sector. Akumah highlighted the need for governments to streamline regulatory frameworks for ride-sharing, vehicle rentals, and corporate mobility, as well as to incentivize the adoption of clean energy solutions within the transport sector. The shift towards corporate mobility and vehicle rental in Africa has been steadily increasing over the past two decades, with many organizations moving away from owning vehicles to a more efficient model of commuting their employees. The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns further accelerated this shift, prompting companies to seek alternatives for transportation services. Treepz stepped in to provide the necessary safety, security, and structured transportation required by organizations, significantly reducing the cost of moving employees between home and work. As fuel prices skyrocketed in countries like Nigeria, organizations found it more cost-effective to utilize services like Treepz, which aggregates vehicles from various vendors to transport thousands of employees daily. Expanding its reach beyond Africa, Treepz ventured into the Canadian market, where it recently concluded a successful pilot test involving over 50 high school students in Ontario. The company's well-structured transportation system aligns with the changing needs of organizations in Canada, where traditional transportation systems may not always meet the demand, especially during off-peak hours. By partnering with vendors to provide shared mobility platforms, Treepz offers a sustainable solution to reduce emissions, lower transportation costs, and alleviate traffic congestion. Schools and organizations in Canada are increasingly turning to Treepz for their commuting needs, recognizing the efficiency and environmental benefits of shared mobility services. Looking ahead to 2025, Treepz aims to consolidate its efforts in Africa by serving 20,000 employees of organizations with their staff or solution. The company also plans to fully launch in Canada, building on successful partnerships with key offices in Brampton and Ontario. With a vision to replicate the success of moving 5 million people in Africa, Treepz envisions enabling 100,000 individuals in global markets to utilize their innovative transportation solutions. This strategic expansion and focus on operational excellence underscore Treepz's commitment to reshaping corporate mobility and driving sustainable practices in the transport industry.
