Transportation Management Software, bus scheduling software, school bus scheduling software, school bus management software
Transportation routing software has become nearly ubiquitous in school transportation offices - but that doesn't mean every software product on the market is equal. BusBoss was one of the first in this field, and still the standout choice, even compared to some of our competitors such as Transfinder.
If you're trying to decide between BusBoss and Transfinder, here are just some of the ways that BusBoss is still the premiere school bus routing and tracking package on the market.
BusBoss: The Clear Leader In Transportation Routing Software
- Advanced Routing Options
Fundamentally, working out routes is a solved problem, and has been since the first GPS systems hit the market. However, BusBoss goes beyond basic routing with special features to address unusual situations and edge cases that could otherwise cause problems.
- Split-custody situations. Properly transporting kids who live with different divorced parents at different times of week/month can be a problem for most routing software, but not BusBoss.
- Alternate routes. What if there's a traffic jam on the highway, and the bus has to detour to avoid it? BusBoss allows you to generate secondary/alternative routes for exactly that situation - and our competitors do not. Your drivers can always have an approved route, even if they have to reroute mid-drive.
- Transfer buses or shuttles. Is there a need to route children on multiple vehicles? Not a problem. BusBoss can even handle multi-vehicle routing!
- Friendly Data Importing
Too many software packages try to lock you into their file format or their database system, but BusBoss doesn't do that. Our system is designed to easily integrate into a wide variety of popular existing software and database solutions.
- Standardized custom data importing. BusBoss can interface with any student accounting or tracking system which can export data in the common ASCII comma-delimited file format, for free, as part of the base package. Transfinder charges for this ability.
- Easy data export. Likewise, BusBoss can export your student data or bus routes in standard ASCII data formats for importing into other software. Transfinder does not offer this ability at all.
- Data conversion services. You provide the student data or routes, and we can translate them into BusBoss-ready formats. Our goal is for you to be ready to roll as soon as BusBoss is installed, unlike our competition.
- Data Snapshots. BusBoss is the only transportation routing software on the market which allows you to save unlimited snapshots of your current data sets, for historical review or reporting purposes.
- Budget-Friendly Pricing
BusBoss is designed to be friendly to school-budgets, and avoids nickle-and-diming you for features that should be standard - and not just data import.
- Unlimited licensing. With BusBoss, your software licenses never expire. Transfinder forces you to pay yearly to maintain a subscription. Need we say more?
- Free software upgrades. BusBoss will never charge you for basic software updates, security patches, etc. Once you've purchased BusBoss, we'll support it in perpetuity.
- Robust technical support. When you need help with BusBoss, you'll call and be sent straight to a live human expert who is deeply informed about our products and their development process. With most competitors, including Transfinder, you're stuck talking to a machine when you call in, with only the option to request a callback... in a day or two.
In short: BusBoss offers more, for less! To learn about how BusBoss is still the premiere transportation routing software package on the market, just contact us.
