Streamlining BUCS Fixtures with DrivenConnect

A 'Game' Changer for Universities and Student Unions

With the new academic year fast approaching, Universities and Student Unions are gearing up for another season of BUCS (British Universities & Colleges Sport) fixtures. Organising transportation for these events can be a logistical nightmare, with high demand and limited availability on match days. DrivenConnect offers a seamless solution that simplifies this process, ensuring that athletes and staff can focus on their teams, rather than worrying about how they'll get to the game...

The Challenge of Availability

Securing transportation for BUCS fixtures is notoriously difficult due to the high demand for coaches and minibuses on match days. Many Universities find themselves competing for limited resources, leading to potential issues with availability or higher than average quotes. This problems only get worse when fixtures change at the last minute which require quick adjustments to travel plans.

The DrivenConnect Advantage

DrivenConnect provides a reliable solution for these challenges by offering a network of over 250 high-quality transport operators. Here’s how DrivenConnect can help your University or Student Union handle BUCS fixtures:

Approved Supplier for Overspill: Even if your primary transport supplier is fully booked, DrivenConnect can step in with approved and vetted suppliers to ensure no team is left stranded. This safety net is crucial during peak times when availability is scarce.
Flexibility with Last-Minute Changes: BUCS fixtures are known for their fluidity, with schedules often changing at the last minute. DrivenConnect's extensive network allows for quick reorganisation of travel plans, providing the flexibility needed to adapt to these changes in real time.
The DrivenGuarantee: If there is an issue with your transport on the day, our team will arrange another vehicle promptly to minimise any delays. In case of an emergency, we organise alternative transportation such as taxis to ensure you reach your destination on time. Best of all, if we implement the DrivenGuarantee, the alternative transport is provided at no extra cost to you. Your journey will be completed seamlessly, without any unexpected charges or fees.

Reducing Costs and Saving Time

One of the most significant advantages of using DrivenConnect is the potential for cost savings. By comparing quotes from multiple suppliers, Universities can find the best deals without compromising on quality. This is particularly beneficial for University staff who are often pressed for time and lack the resources to manually reach out to and compare quotes from numerous suppliers.

Efficiency and Convenience

DrivenConnect takes the hassle out of organising transport by providing a single platform where quotes from multiple suppliers can be easily compared. This streamlines the decision-making process and frees up University staff to focus on other important aspects of event planning.

Conclusion

As the new academic year kicks off, Universities and Student Unions can significantly benefit from using DrivenConnect for their BUCS fixture transport needs. By leveraging a network of over 250 approved suppliers, DrivenConnect ensures availability even during peak times and offers the flexibility to handle last-minute changes.
