We've shipped branded shelters to Shopify (Ottawa), Telus Garden (Vancouver), RBC Place IV (Toronto), Bell Campus (Mississauga), Sun Life Toronto, BMO Field, Manulife Waterloo, OpenText Waterloo, BlackBerry, Magna International (Aurora), Linamar (Guelph), Bombardier (Mirabel), Pratt & Whitney Canada (Longueuil), Sanofi (Toronto), AstraZeneca Canada (Mississauga), plus a long list of mid-cap manufacturers. The deliverable is the same shelter quality as a transit-authority spec, presented as a piece of brand-aligned facilities furniture.
Spec features include brand-matched powder coat (Pantone match from the corporate identity guide), fritted or back-painted glass with the corporate logo or visual-identity element, integrated wayfinding that pairs with internal campus signage, heated and lighted as a baseline (corporate buyers won't accept anything less for employee comfort), and smart-shelter telemetry so facilities can track shuttle-stop utilisation and right-size the shuttle programme over time. Many tech-company campuses also specify EV-shuttle compatibility with charging-cable management at the shelter.
Procurement happens via facilities or workplace-experience teams, typically with a 4–8 week decision cycle from kickoff to PO. Installation is scheduled around campus operating windows — often a weekend or off-hours window with security-escort co-ordination. Pricing fits the corporate-furniture envelope (typically $12,000–$22,000 per shelter installed) since brand integration shifts the spec toward our advertising or smart product line.
Pilot programmes, telemetry, and refresh cycles
Many corporate-campus engagements begin with a single-shelter pilot at the most-trafficked shuttle stop, typically a 3-month evaluation with smart-shelter telemetry to validate the use-case data: utilisation by hour-of-day, dwell time, weather-correlation, and rider-count by shuttle route. We provide the dashboard access and a written case-study report at the pilot's end — most pilots convert to network-wide deployment within the same fiscal year. Refresh cycles for corporate campuses run 5–7 years rather than the 12–15 years typical of municipal transit, because brand-language updates and exterior-finish modernisation drive replacement faster than structural wear. We hold buyback / trade-in pricing on shelters under 7 years old, which lets corporate facilities teams refresh without writing the original investment off as a sunk cost.
