From inventory management to cost analysis to maintenance management to reporting, every bus not only on the road, but in your yard. You’ll know which buses are available and those undergoing maintenance. With this knowledge you can plan ahead and get buses on the road on time.
Gary oversees the operations of the school bus program for a school district. Tracking expenditures and maintenance schedules used to be a very manual process and it was difficult for him to get a clear view of the operation.
Now that the district has implemented Busology Tech, through the fleet management and reporting capabilities the solution offers Gary has complete visibility into how many buses are in the yard, how many on the road, the costs (sometimes fluctuating) of running the program, and more. He loves the visual reports which tell him what he needs to know in an instant.
Busology helps Gary not only run an efficient school bus service, but report clearly and confidently to his supervisors what is happening with the program.
Sue is a bus maintenance technician. She has noted a maintenance alert from one of the buses just pulling into the yard after its route. Sue watches the bus in question pull into one of the bays in the maintenance area of the yard. She is ready.
Some drivers are still running their school bus routes and some are pulling into the yard. Some require regular scheduled maintenance, like fluid refills, or oil changes, and some have been diagnosed remotely to require proactive repair. Sue knows all of it ahead of time and is able to plan out her shift.
Today Sue will perform her regular maintenance activities first to check those activities off her list. Then she will look at the diagnostics for the bus that had just pulled into Bay #2. These advanced diagnostics are made possible by their new Fleet Maintenance and Management solution with Busology. At a glance at the data she can see it is an engine issue the Fleet Manager wants to get ahead of. Good thinking, Sue thought. She looks forward to tackling it tonight.
Wanda breathes a sigh of relief. She recalls a few incidents last year where manual tracking of buses in the yard led to inaccurate information and not knowing where buses were. By the time it was all sorted out, on-time performance of a few routes were out the window for those mornings and this impacted a number of people.
Today, however, Wanda glances at her tablet and smiles, as the buses roll out of the yard. She knew well ahead of time that there is a bus for every route and a driver for every bus for the morning routes. Wanda knows the precise location of each bus in her fleet thanks to the Busology Tech solution the company had implemented this year. Wanda sees this from her desk. She can now address issues before they become issues.
With on-the-fly diagnostics and maintenance scheduling organized in a real-time digital format, nothing gets missed when it comes to safety maintenance of school buses.
The Busology solution allows you to easily see which buses are undergoing maintenance and when they will be road-ready.
With Busology’s Fleet Management and Tracking solution, regular scheduled maintenance runs like clockwork. For ad-hoc requests, diagnostics can be run while the bus is running its route. There is no need to wait to communicate at the end of the day when the bus returns to the yard. This way you can plan your shift accordingly or suggest to your manager that an extra technician be brought in.
