Metroline

Metroline's principal business is the provision of bus services, serving London, one of the world's busiest cities. Metroline's fleet of 1,200 buses carry 250 million passengers each year. Metroline is a wholly owned subsidiary of Com-fortDelGro Corporation; the world's second largest listed land transport company. We first met Metroline in September 2011. They had identified an opportunity to use e-Procurement to reduce the cost of maintaining their large fleet of buses and were investigating which solution best met this need. After considering a number of alternatives, Market Dojo was selected because, as well as providing an easy to use solution which could be managed by Metroline, it offered clear and transparent pricing. Metroline ran their first auction in November 2011 and saved enough money to pay for their investment in Market Dojo more than 8 times over. Over the next 6 months, Metroline have gone on to run more than a dozen Auction and RFQ events, allowing them to significantly reduce spending on fleet maintenance costs. “I can't speak highly enough of them to be honest. We have used the platform for about six months now and can't fault it. One of our biggest fears was suppliers not taking to it or finding it difficult to use but we have had no such issues. The re-sults from Auctions have been better than we expected in most cases, it has also become the default option for all our ten-ders. The support from the people at Dojo is first rate too. I would say give them a call and see if they can meet your needs.” - Derrick Halsey, Metroline Travel.
