Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

Cleric APTS is a powerful tool in striving for maximum efficiency in the delivery of vital patient/passenger transport journeys. Routing optimisation and best-in-class traffic information enable the operators to plan with individual passenger needs assessed via Elibility Criteria.

Auto-planning, live day allocation and re-scheduling are used to meet KPI's and avoid wasted journeys. Use of mobile technologies enables seamless sharing and real-time control.

These features ensure that waste of valuable resources is minimised and vehicle emissions are reduced by the elimination of duplication and wasted journeys.

Cleric Computer Services has its own plan to reduce environmental impact as an organisation through various measures including:
- Purchasing electricity from renewable sources.
- Minimising carbon emissions from transport by encouraging efficient
vehicle use (including electric cars where possible), car-sharing and use
of public transport. Unnecessary travel is discouraged in favour of online
meetings where possible.
- Responsible waste disposal
