Feeder routes planned as routes
Junction and station feeders are first-class plans with their own timings, rather than whatever is left over once a door-pickup plan has been built.
Employee transport software · Kochi, Kerala
Kochi’s employment cluster sits inland at Kakkanad while the city, its transport spine and much of its residential catchment sit on the coast and the islands. Almost every route is therefore a feeder problem, and a small number of bridges decide how well it works.
Where it runs
Routing is planned around these rather than across a city-wide average.
What breaks a schedule in Kochi
These are the local problems a generic routing engine does not know it has.
The jobs are inland and the city is coastal
The commute runs across the way the city is laid out rather than along it. Plans that assume employees travel with the main spine instead of perpendicular to it are wrong in both directions at once.
Backwaters narrow the network at the joints
Island and peninsular neighbourhoods connect through a limited number of bridges, so one closure applies to a whole group of routes rather than to a single leg.
Many short feeder legs, not a few long chains
A large number of short runs converging on one inland cluster is a different optimisation problem from a handful of long chains, and it is where empty running quietly accumulates.
How taSki answers them
Junction and station feeders are first-class plans with their own timings, rather than whatever is left over once a door-pickup plan has been built.
Unoccupied distance is measured against each route, so the real cost of a short feeder leg is visible long before it becomes the largest line on the invoice.
Employees are grouped by the approach they actually live on before any route is generated, so a run is not extended across a bridge simply because a seat happened to be free.
The platform
The same modules run in every city; the routing model is what adapts.
Shift rosters, ad-hoc requests and attendance in one place, so the transport plan is built from who is actually coming in.
Clustering by pickup density, then routing against real road networks — with ride-time ceilings and vehicle capacity as constraints rather than preferences.
Trips are allocated across your operator panel by coverage, rate card and compliance status, with double-assignment blocked at source.
GPS tracking against the planned route, escort compliance, and an in-app SOS that reaches the transport desk rather than a call centre.
Trips, rate cards and vendor invoices reconciled automatically, so disputes are evidenced rather than argued.
Every allocation, escort assignment and exception timestamped and exportable for statutory or internal compliance reporting.

Talk to the team →No. taSki is software and owns no vehicles. Your existing transport operators run the trips on the platform. Where you would rather contract once, taSki can also be your transport vendor — in which case taSki holds the agreements with the empanelled operators and you contract only with taSki.
Yes, and most programmes do. Operators onboard onto the Partner Suite in days, usually without changing their commercials. There is no supply lock-in, and no requirement to retender before you can use the software.
One site first. A single Kochi location, one shift pattern and one roster is modelled against your current spend, so the business case uses your data rather than a benchmark. Most programmes run four weeks from first site to steady state.
Escort assignment, no-first-no-last-drop logic, driver vetting and in-app SOS are enforced when the route is generated rather than reviewed afterwards, and every decision carries a timestamped record for statutory and internal reporting.
