Furukawa Automotive Systems now uses myToyota Shuttle PH

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) recently announced that Furukawa Automotive Systems Lipa Philippines, Inc. (FALP) has started using the myToyota Shuttle PH on-demand service (ODS).

In a statement, TMP noted that the Batangas-based Japanese manufacturing firm (which has almost 10,000 employees) “has established an automated booking process for Furukawa’s large-scale shuttle operations, involving around 200 outsourced buses and vans serving both day shift and night shift employees.”

“With this automated shuttle booking system, employees are ensured of safety and convenience when traveling to and from work, proving how serious Furukawa is in taking care of their employees by prioritizing their health and safety, especially during this period of uncertainty,” the leading automotive manufacturer claimed.

The aforementioned app-based ODS was introduced in the country last year. It is eyed to provide an elevated customer experience through safe and dependable mobility service.

Powered by SWAT Mobility, the system is developed in line with the Toyota Way pillar called kaizen (continuous improvement). “The system guarantees companies and their employees a safe, comfortable, and reliable shuttle service to and from work. The app eliminates manual arrangement of shuttle destination points since it allows automation of route preparation which streamlines employees’ ride booking process,” TMP explained. “With its real-time tracking system, the app also helps your operators monitor the location of shuttle vehicles and optimize asset management in one easy to use digital monitoring system.”

Further, TMP assured that the system can be adjusted to meet the operational requirements of one’s company — be it for official business trips or daily travel to and from work.

Basically, the myToyota Shuttle PH features two routing types: dynamic and fixed. Dynamic is for the constantly-changing work schedule arrangements, and close-to-door pick-up and drop-off points. Meanwhile, fixed routing is for pre-defined work schedules, routes and shared drop-off points.
