Deploy, Don’t Build

A White-Label Carpool App Without the Development Project

Search for a white-label carpool app and you’ll mostly find development agencies and clone scripts: 14–16 weeks of build time, $20,000–$200,000+ budgets, and an app your employees still have to download. That path makes sense if you’re launching a consumer rideshare business. It rarely makes sense for an employer. TeamWheels is the other path — a ready-to-run corporate carpool platform you brand and configure instead of build:

  • Live in days, not quarters — Install from Microsoft AppSource in about 5 minutes; brand and configure in an afternoon
  • No code, no maintenance — No developers to hire, no app-store releases to manage, no servers to run
  • Built for employee commutes — Ride matching by route, schedule, and office site — not taxi dispatch features you’ll never use Weighing both routes? Read our guide: how to quickly launch a customizable carpool platform →

Build vs. Buy

White-label vs. building your own: the honest comparison

Most organisations that ask us about a white-label carpool platform have already scoped an in-house build. The estimate usually comes back at six figures and nine months — not because ride-matching is hard, but because everything around it is: identity, privacy, mobile clients, notification infrastructure, and the reporting layer your sustainability team will ask for six months after launch. Here is the comparison we would want to see if we were on your side of the table.

Scope 3 reportingTo be built after launchCategory 7 export out of the box (trips, km, CO₂)Varies; often a PDF, rarely audit-ready

The build column is not wrong for everyone: a national mobility operator or a consumer marketplace should own its code. For an employer, a campus or a business park, the question is simply how fast people start sharing rides under your name — and what it costs to keep that running in year two.

Scope of the Deployment

What you get with a white-label deployment

A white-label carpooling platform should feel like part of your internal toolset, not a third-party app your employees are sent off to. A TeamWheels white-label deployment includes:

  • Your brand and your domain — Your program name, logo and colours in every screen employees see, and your own domain on the sign-in and notification flows
  • Deployment in your own Microsoft 365 tenant — Installed from AppSource by your Teams administrator, governed by your IT and data-residency policies
  • Your data stays with you — Trip, site and participation data live in your tenant; nothing is shared with other customers or resold
  • The Teams bot under your name — Employees declare their commute, offer or request a seat and get departure reminders through a conversational bot carrying your brand
  • An administration dashboard — Sites, matching rules, active carpoolers, trips shared and programme health in one view for HR, mobility and facilities teams
  • Scope 3 Category 7 export — Kilometres pooled and CO₂ avoided, exportable for GHG Protocol, CSRD and internal ESG reporting
  • Enterprise-grade by default — Microsoft-validated on AppSource, GDPR compliant, privacy by design, and no separate app to download — the #1 reason participation reaches 40%+ instead of stalling under 18% See exactly how it works →

HR & Identity Integration

How it integrates with your HR and employee systems

Because TeamWheels runs inside your Microsoft 365 tenant, it does not need a separate user directory. Employees are already there. Entra ID handles authentication, group membership drives who can see which ride pools, and site or department attributes let you scope matching to a single location — which is what makes commute matching work at a 300-person industrial site where a generic consumer app would not reach critical mass.

That is the real payoff of a white-label carpool app integrated with HR and identity systems: employees join with the work account they already have, and HR, payroll and ESG teams get clean data without manual exports. Here is how each piece fits.

Single sign-on and provisioning

Authentication runs through Azure AD / Entra ID SSO. There is no invitation to send, no password to set and no account to provision: anyone in the directory can open the bot in Teams and is recognised immediately. Offboarding is just as automatic — when an employee leaves the tenant, they leave the carpool roster the same day, so the programme never accumulates stale profiles or orphaned accounts. If you use Entra ID groups to manage access to other line-of-business apps, the same groups control who can see and join TeamWheels.

Mapping sites and departments

Commute matching only works when it is local. During setup you declare your sites (an address and a radius each) and map them to the attributes your directory already carries — office location, department, cost centre or a dedicated group. Matching is then scoped so that a night-shift technician at the northern plant is paired with colleagues on the same site and the same hours, not with someone at head office 80 km away. Multi-site organisations, campuses and business parks that host several employers can run one programme with separate pools per site or entity, and report on each.

What data leaves your tenant

Short answer: nothing that is not necessary to match rides and produce your reports. Trip declarations, site assignments and participation records stay in your Microsoft 365 environment; the platform processes the minimum needed for matching (site, usual hours, departure area) and does not sell, share or resell employee data. Payroll and commuter-benefit records — pre-tax programmes under IRS Section 132(f) in the US, UK schemes, France’s forfait mobilités durables — are generated from those trip records and exported by your administrators, on your schedule. Our team walks through the exact data flows, retention periods and the data-processing agreement during the demo, so your IT and privacy officers can sign off before anyone carpools.

From Decision to First Shared Rides

How quickly can you launch?

Days, not weeks — and in four phases you can put on a calendar. This is the timeline we run with new customers, consistent with what the rest of this site promises: live in days.

PhaseWhat happensWho is involvedDuration
1. Tenant validationYour Teams administrator installs TeamWheels from Microsoft AppSource and grants Entra ID consent; we confirm the tenant, the sign-in flow and the data-processing agreementIT administrator, privacy officerDay 1 (about 5 minutes of installation, the rest is paperwork)
2. BrandingProgram name, logo, colours and domain are applied; bot messages and notifications are reviewed in your tone of voice, in English and/or FrenchCommunications or HR, our onboarding teamDay 1–2 (one afternoon)
3. Pilot scopeSites are declared and mapped to directory attributes, matching rules and commuter-benefit settings are configured, and 30–50 early adopters from high-commute departments are invitedHR or mobility manager, 2–3 ambassadorsDay 3–5, then 2–4 weeks of pilot
4. General rolloutCompany-wide announcement in Teams, all sites activated, the dashboard opened to HR and ESG teams, Scope 3 export scheduledLeadership sponsor, HR, ESGDay 20–30

The technical part is measured in minutes. What sets the pace is your own pilot: most organisations keep it to two to four weeks so they can announce the general rollout with real numbers — trips shared, cars off the car park, CO₂ avoided — rather than a promise.

Pricing & Procurement

Pricing and how to buy

When you buy white label carpool software from TeamWheels, you buy a subscription, not a development project. The pricing model is per seat, and the public grid is the same one every customer starts from:

  • Free 30-day trial — the complete platform for up to 50 employees, no credit card, no commitment. Most white-label customers run their pilot on the trial.
  • TeamWheels, €3 per employee per month excl. VAT (promo, down from €5) — unlimited employees, the Teams bot and matching engine, the administration dashboard, real-time CO₂ tracking, commuter-benefit and FMD records, Entra ID SSO, advanced statistics and priority support. Monthly or annual billing, cancel any time.
  • Enterprise, on quotation — everything above plus the white-label package: your branding and domain, multi-site and multi-entity programmes, HR and payroll integrations through the API, a guaranteed SLA, a dedicated account manager, personalised onboarding and custom ESG reports.

What triggers a quote rather than the flat rate: volume (typically from several hundred seats or several sites), hosting or data-residency requirements beyond the standard Microsoft 365 tenant deployment, custom integrations with an HRIS or payroll system, and multi-employer programmes run by a campus or a business park. A quote is usually turned around within a week of the demo, and the trial keeps running in the meantime.

How to buy: book a demo, run the free trial with your pilot group, then sign either online for the flat per-seat plan or an annual Enterprise agreement for the white-label package. Purchase orders and bank transfer are accepted for annual contracts; the platform is also listed on Microsoft AppSource, which some procurement teams prefer.

Frequently asked questions

What are the benefits of choosing a white-label carpool app platform that integrates with HR or employee systems?

Employees join with the work account they already have, so there is no invitation, sign-up or separate password — participation on TeamWheels reaches 40%+ against under 18% for standalone apps. Entra ID becomes the carpool roster and keeps it current as people join and leave. Site and department attributes scope matching to the right location. And HR, payroll and ESG teams get clean data with no manual exports: commuter-benefit records (IRS Section 132(f), UK schemes, France’s forfait mobilités durables) and Scope 3 Category 7 reporting are generated from the same trip records.

How can I quickly launch a customizable carpool platform for my company?

Adopt a white-label, ready-made platform instead of building one. With TeamWheels the sequence is: your Teams administrator installs the app from Microsoft AppSource (about 5 minutes), you apply your program name, logo and colours (one afternoon), you declare your sites and invite 30–50 early adopters for a two-to-four-week pilot, then you announce the general rollout with real numbers. Most organisations go from decision to first shared rides in days and to company-wide rollout within a month.

Who owns the data in a white-label deployment?

You do. TeamWheels runs inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant: trip declarations, site assignments and participation records stay in your environment under your IT and data-residency policies. The platform processes only what is needed to match rides and produce your reports, never sells or shares employee data, and the data-processing agreement is reviewed with your privacy officer before launch.

How far can we customise the branding?

Program name, logo, colours and domain, plus the wording of the bot messages and notifications in English and French. Employees see your brand in Teams, on sign-in and in every reminder. What stays standard is the matching engine and the dashboard, which is what keeps deployment to days rather than months.

What happens at the end of the contract?

The platform is a subscription, so nothing is locked in. On the flat per-seat plan you can cancel at any time without notice; annual Enterprise agreements end at their term unless renewed. Your administrators can export trips, participation and CO₂ data beforehand, and employee data is deleted from the platform in line with GDPR once the account is closed — the directory itself is yours and is never touched.

Is the platform available outside Microsoft 365?

TeamWheels is built for organisations on Microsoft 365: the Teams bot, Entra ID single sign-on and the tenant-based data model are what make deployment take minutes and adoption exceed 40%. If part of your workforce is not on Microsoft 365 — for example a multi-employer business park — the Enterprise package can cover them through the API and web access; ask during the demo and we will tell you honestly what fits.

How much does a white-label carpool app cost compared to building one?

Building a carpool app from scratch with a development agency typically takes 14–16 weeks and costs $20,000–$200,000+, plus ongoing maintenance. TeamWheels is priced per seat (from €3 per employee per month, promo price) with a free 30-day trial; the white-label package is quoted on volume, sites and integrations, and deploys from Microsoft AppSource in about 5 minutes — most organisations reach positive ROI within the first quarter through parking savings alone.

Do employees need to download a separate app?

No. TeamWheels lives inside Microsoft Teams, which your employees already use every day. That is the main reason white-label programs on TeamWheels reach 40%+ participation, versus under 18% for standalone carpool apps that require a download and a new account.
