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.

  • Consistency: We have been struggling with the application.
  • User friendly application: Needs an improvement for elderly people.

In scheduling, Optibus meets or exceeds expectations in comparison to the programs above. In planning, Optibus falls a bit behind, but it seems like there is a significant amount of investment moving forward

It gives you a ton of options and nice features that are always innovative, never gets behind, and the technology is up to date. That is a strong point because it receives updates all the time and the app almost never crashes, instead it provides you with also constant assistance from their Help team.

  • ETA: P44 is able to calculate estimated time of arrival, and that's nice.
  • ELD: It can connect to trucks computer, and that helped us a lot.
