Jason Balluck, innovation associate manager at The Challenge, says the charity needed to optimise transportation of thousands of teenagers taking part in its programmes.
"Implementing Route Monkey software saved us an estimated £150,000 from our transport budget," he says.
"It reduced our per-mile costs from an average of £8 per mile to £2 per mile on some journeys which is a remarkable saving," he continues.
"Route Monkey's optimisation and scheduling enabled us to consolidate our transport operations," he explains.
"We were able to switch from requiring large numbers of minibus journeys to much more cost-effective hiring of coaches."
The charity is currently tendering for transport brokers to procure passenger vehicles and provide managed services for its work, both nationally and at a regional level.
