Optibus
The solution has allowed us to more confidently create an end schedule product as a result of the validation tools that are included, these help with avoiding issues presented by broken formulae, missing run cutting thresholds that are occasionally missed with manual run cuts, while also allowing several data points to view the progress of the scheduling task. The data preparation tool that exports the package for import into our CAD/AVL system has also allowed us to gain independence to create these files as and when we need to.

The tool is very user-friendly, and allows work to be performed in different manners based on our personal preferences; as an example, I prefer to figure out my initial logistics on spreadsheets that I can import into the system, but I am also aware that there are several tools that allow the schedule to be created from scratch without the spreadsheet process. When I encounter day-to-day issues, there are frequently useful tool tips on where to look to untangle the issues that are usually the result of reworking strategies. Data validation throughout is a huge help to make sure my data input, steps, and final product is far less subject to errors.
