Corporate Healthcare Benefit

Employee Medical Transport as a Managed Company Benefit

75%
Admin Time Reduction

Overview

CareTAXI is a B2B platform that enables companies to offer medical transport as an employee benefit. Built as a corporate module within the Ordinacni TAXI ecosystem, it gives organizations a turnkey solution for managing, tracking, and controlling employee medical transport spending through a single self-service portal.

The platform addresses a gap in employee benefits infrastructure. Companies across Europe increasingly recognize that unreliable transport is a primary barrier to employees accessing healthcare services. CareTAXI removes this barrier while giving finance and HR teams the visibility and cost controls they need to manage the benefit responsibly.

The Challenge

Before: Administrative Burden

  • HR manually coordinating rides for employees via phone
  • No visibility into monthly transport spending
  • Employees submitting paper receipts for reimbursement
  • No way to enforce per-department or per-employee budgets
  • Managers had no data to evaluate benefit ROI
  • Each subsidiary or office managed transport independently

After: Self-Service Platform

  • Employees book directly through the portal
  • Real-time spending dashboards per company and cost center
  • 100% cashless operation with centralized billing
  • Automated monthly limits with warning emails
  • Detailed monthly reports delivered automatically
  • Multi-company support with unified admin oversight

The challenge extended beyond simple ride booking. Companies needed granular financial controls, the ability to delegate management to department leads without granting full system access, and compliance with European data protection regulations. Many organizations also operated across multiple locations, requiring a multi-tenant architecture that could handle different carrier preferences, approval rules, and spending limits per subsidiary.

The Solution

CareTAXI operates as a multi-tenant corporate module with three levels of access: company administrator, manager, and employee. Company admins configure organizational settings, manage members, set cost centers, and review spending. Managers approve ride requests and monitor their department's usage. Employees simply book rides and see their personal history.

Key architecture decision: We built a company-level role system that operates independently of the global platform roles. A user can be an administrator at the platform level while being a regular employee within their company's CareTAXI instance, or vice versa. This orthogonal design prevents permission conflicts and simplifies user management.

Each company configures its own carrier preferences. Some organizations contract exclusively with one carrier network, others let employees choose. When a company locks its carrier preference, the booking interface automatically hides the carrier selection and routes all rides to the designated provider. Administrators can also lock this setting so company managers cannot override it.

The approval workflow is configurable per company. When enabled, employee ride requests enter a pending state until a company admin or manager approves them. Organizations that want to reduce friction can set an auto-approval threshold: rides estimated below a certain price are approved automatically while more expensive rides still require human sign-off.

Key Features

🏢

Multi-Company Management

Full multi-tenant architecture. Users can belong to multiple companies. Each company has independent settings, members, cost centers, and carrier preferences.

💰

Cost Centers with Monthly Limits

Organize transport spending by department, project, or location. Each cost center has its own monthly budget with automated 85% warnings and hard limits at 100%.

Configurable Approval Workflows

Company admins toggle approval requirement per organization. Auto-approval below price thresholds reduces friction. Managers approve or reject with one click.

🚚

Carrier Preference per Company

Three carrier modes: locked to a single carrier, locked to another, or employee's choice. Admin-level carrier lock prevents company managers from changing the setting.

📊

Automated Monthly Reports

Cron-generated HTML reports delivered to company admins on the 1st of each month. Order counts, spending breakdowns, cost center usage, and top users at a glance.

📄

CSV Import and Export

Bulk member import from CSV. Export members, orders, and spending data. Semicolon-delimited with UTF-8 BOM for Excel compatibility across European locales.

🔔

Real-Time Notifications

Company admins receive email and in-app notifications when members create orders. Bell icon with unread badge and dropdown panel. 60-second polling for instant awareness.

👤

Book for Another Person

Employees can book rides for colleagues or dependents. Passenger name and phone are tracked separately from the booking user, with full visibility in order history.

Spending Tracking

Companies that previously spent hours each week coordinating transport now manage the entire benefit through a self-service portal. Employees book their own rides within the guardrails set by their organization, invoices are generated automatically, and monthly reports arrive in inboxes without any manual work.

The cost center system proved particularly valuable for larger organizations. Finance teams gained granular visibility into transport spending by department, enabling data-driven decisions about benefit allocation and identifying departments where transport assistance had the highest impact on employee healthcare utilization.

Technology Stack

CareTAXI shares its technology foundation with the Ordinacni TAXI platform, ensuring consistent reliability across both the patient-facing and corporate modules.

The multi-tenant design uses a shared database with company-scoped queries rather than isolated databases per tenant. This approach minimizes operational overhead while maintaining strict data isolation. Company users see only their organization's data, and every query is filtered through company membership validation at the API level.
