CorpoRide

Problem: Problem 1: Employees of Česká spořitelna often travel to the same destination at the same time, but in separate cars. Problem 2: Finding sustainable transport options for business trips is time-consuming and inconvenient. This leads to unnecessary emissions, higher costs, and missed opportunities for collaboration.

Solution: CorpoRide is an app that connects employees traveling to the same place. It identifies shared rides and alternative transport modes, and calculates CO₂ savings compared to solo driving. The architecture respects Česká spořitelna's current internal system for booking business travel and is designed for smooth integration.

Impact: Based on real company data from 2023 from Česká spořitelna, 62.96 % of business travel routes were redundant by car. With CorpoRide, Česká spořitelna could save 580,653 km, 74.09 tons of CO₂, and nearly 3.7 million CZK in fuel and amortization costs — while supporting sustainability and ESG goals.

Feasibility & financials: We analyzed real data from Česká spořitelna and built a MVP with working business trip search, CO₂ savings calculation, gamification per employee, and a concept for SAP integration. The app is scalable and reduces costs related to fuel, amortization, and emissions. Due to architecture respect of today Česká spořitelna internal systems, integration enables fast piloting and a clear return on investment.

What is new about your solution?: CorpoRide enables easier ride sharing for Česká spořitelna by using existing travel data from its internal SAP travel log. Unlike generic tools, it is built for corporate use, integrates with internal systems, calculates CO₂ savings in real time, and supports natural-language input via AI — making sustainable travel simple and measurable.

What you have built at the hackathon - text explanation + code (e.g. GitHub link): We built a functional MVP with AI-powered trip input, CO₂ calculation, and travel suggestions. It includes UI/UX design, free-text parsing via Gemini 2.5 Flash, database lookup, and public/private trip creation. We created a business and project plan, validated integration with Česká spořitelna systems, and conducted in-depth data analysis proving CO₂ and cost-saving potential. Demo presented to mentor.

What you had before the hackathon, please mention open source as well: reused just a structured prompt from one of my previous personal projects continual progress of this project with development from scratch can be seen in Git
