Innovation at the service of the quality of urban life and environmental protection.

AlmavivA develops solutions for improving Public Administration services and the quality of life of citizens. For modern smart cities, AlmavivA has developed a carpooling platform aimed at helping to solve urban transport sustainability problems. 

The Ministerial Decree of 27/3/98 on sustainable mobility singles out carpooling as a means to promote the optimal use of motor vehicles. 

The advantages, for a company or a public-sector entity, are: 

  • a useful service for employees, guaranteeing regular arrival 
  • the need for less parking space 
  • the strengthening of Corporate Social Responsibility principles, through the example of an effective project, with regard to the stakeholders and the local community 
  • the strengthening of the corporate image, thanks to the focus on environmental issues. Moreover, by reporting the Carpooling project in its ISO 14001 certificate, the company can show its commitment to cutting back its environmental impact. 

The strong points of AlmavivA's Carpooling platform are: 

  • a link to the company's Active Directory, to ensure maximum passenger data security 
  • geolocation: a direct link with the maps enables the validation of the departure and destination 
  • addresses and measurement of the length of the route SMS text or email alerting, for the real-time management of any unforeseen events, compared to the online arrangements 
  • the calculation of travel costs, as suggested by the worldwide best practices, based on motor vehicle consumption and type of itinerary 
  • an estimate of carbon savings, based on the kilometers travelled by each pooled car.
