Rate-card enforcement
Most programmes agree a rate card and then bill against whatever the operator submits. The gap between the two is the single largest recoverable line in ground transport, and it is invisible without a three-way match.

What is your travel and mobility programme costing?
Combined annual spend
₹23.16 Cr
Estimated annual saving with taSki
₹3.40 Cr
Around 15% of combined travel and mobility spend, based on programmes of comparable size.
- Fare policy & negotiated hotel rates ₹33.0 L
- Cab rate-card enforcement & pooling ₹2.40 Cr
- Invoice match & leakage recovery ₹67.2 L
Where the money goes
Six lines that decide the total.
Every one of these is set by how trips are planned, allocated and billed — not by the rate you negotiated.
Pooling and seat utilisation
A four-seat cab carrying one employee costs the same as one carrying four. Utilisation is decided at allocation — by whether routing clusters people before it routes them — not by the vendor.
Empty running
Vehicles positioning to a first pickup and returning from a last drop are paid for and carry nobody. Route design decides how much of this a programme buys.
No-shows
A seat reserved and not taken is billed. Until no-shows are attributed to a person and a cost centre, nobody has a reason to cancel.
Fare policy on travel
Advance-purchase windows, cabin rules and negotiated hotel rates only save money if the booking tool enforces them at the point of booking rather than flagging them in a report.
Invoice leakage
Duplicate trips, wrong vehicle class, tolls billed twice, trips billed for cancelled shifts. Individually small, monthly, and almost never caught by hand.
What this estimate does not know
The four things that move a real number.
An estimator that claimed to account for these would be lying about its precision.
-
Your actual rate card
The estimate uses a cost per trip you type in. Real programmes have different rates by city, vehicle class, shift and distance slab — which is where a modelled number and a real one diverge.
-
Your shift pattern
A single night shift across one site behaves very differently from three shifts across five. Utilisation, escort obligations and empty running all move with it.
-
Contracted minimums
Many vendor contracts carry guaranteed volumes or monthly minimums. Those change what is recoverable in year one regardless of how efficient the routing becomes.
-
What you already do well
Programmes that already pool aggressively or already match invoices will see less from those levers. The estimate cannot know which ones you have solved.

Talk to the team → How accurate is this estimate?
It is an order-of-magnitude figure, modelled on programmes of comparable size. It is useful for deciding whether the conversation is worth having, and not for putting in a budget. The number that belongs in a budget comes from modelling your own roster and rate card, which takes about thirty minutes.
Where does the saving actually come from?
Three places, in roughly descending order: enforcing the rate card you already agreed, improving seat utilisation through clustering and pooling, and recovering invoice leakage through a three-way match. Fare policy on the travel side is a fourth where a programme books flights and hotels as well.
Does this assume we change vendors?
No. The levers above are about how trips are planned, allocated and billed, not who drives them. Most programmes keep every operator they have — taSki owns no vehicles and there is no supply lock-in.
Our cost per trip varies by city. What should we enter?
Use a blended average across the sites you run. It will be wrong in both directions and roughly right in aggregate, which is all an estimator can be. City-level rate cards are exactly the kind of detail a proper model needs and this one cannot hold.
Can we get this modelled on our own numbers?
Yes. Bring one site — a roster, a shift pattern and a month of invoices — and we will model it against your current spend rather than a benchmark. If the figure does not hold for your programme, we will tell you.
From estimate to number
Bring one site's roster and a month of invoices.
Thirty minutes, modelled on your own spend. No rate card required to start, and no obligation at the end.
