Product Description
Carpolo is a smart carpooling system with a points reward system and insightful analytics such as CO2 emissions saved and overall impact of carpooling within the user community. The platform acts as a search engine for unused car space or ride requests. The application then matches users together – rider and driver – who are along the same route. It also provides a rating system that helps riders feel comfortable with their paired carpool companion.
