Meet Our Client
Our client is a leading transportation company with decades of experience providing safe, reliable, and efficient transit solutions. Serving communities nationwide, they deliver a wide array of services, including public transit, commuter shuttle operations, and specialized transportation programs designed to meet diverse community needs. Their commitment to seamless, customer-focused transportation has established them as a trusted partner for public agencies, corporate campuses, and government organizations.

By integrating innovative technologies and adapting to evolving mobility demands, this organization has consistently enhanced the quality of transit services for the communities it supports.
Their Challenge
Persistent turnover in key operational roles had far-reaching consequences. Constant hiring and training cycles drained resources and diverted attention from core mission goals. Without a reliable method to predict and address retention issues, the company faced increasing pressure to maintain service quality and uphold safety standards. They sought a modern, data-driven solution to identify the right candidates and keep them longer.
We think the biggest problem, as far as driver workforce, is retention. They’re putting so much emphasis on bringing in more drivers and not enough on what you do once they’re in the field, how you get them to stay behind the wheel?

CloudFactory stepped in with a comprehensive AI Solutions Engagement service tailored to address these challenges. By leveraging historical employee data, we developed a predictive attrition model designed to:
- Rank Candidates: Identify and prioritize candidates with traits indicative of high retention.
- Flag At-Risk Employees: Enable proactive retention strategies by highlighting potential turnover risks.
- Offer End-to-End Support: From data aggregation and feature engineering to model deployment and continuous monitoring, our full-service approach ensures the solution remains effective over time.
This data-backed, predictive model has not only empowered the client to make more informed hiring decisions but also contributed to a projected annual savings of $1 million, improved employee retention, and enhanced overall operational efficiency and safety.
