关于客户
Suburban Transit Network, Inc. (TransNet) creates access to community resources and employment by consistently providing safe, cost-effective, reliable transportation for residents and businesses of Montgomery County and surrounding areas. Beginning as a small pilot program, and developing into a large and diverse regional transportation resource, TransNet has come a long way since its inception in 1980. TransNet is a transit option designed to provide convenient, low-cost transportation. Initially, it focused on meeting the needs of senior citizens and disabled persons, doing so through exclusive relationships with existing Montgomery County taxicab companies. Today the organization is complex and comprehensive; the direct result of decisions made in the late 1980s. TransNet serves groups of seniors and disabled persons, and contracts with school districts, colleges, and private companies to offer specialized transit services and commuter shuttles.
挑战
TransNet was utilizing an 11-year-old version of their previous software, which had been operating without any maintenance for the majority of that time frame. As upgrades were happening, functionality and reliability steadily declined. Additionally, all of TransNet’s processes were manual due to the lack of automation capabilities in their previous software.
解决方案
Implementation of Ecolane DRT Software for reporting, data analysis, and supply and logistics. The agency needed a software solution that would increase efficiency and improve overall operations. Ecolane DRT scheduling and dispatching software (hosted by Ecolane) was implemented along with Ecolane Touch Screen MDT software for Android Tablets. Subcontractor Portals were created for the review of only specific provider details. An advanced Ecolane Reporting System along with an Ad-hoc reporting tool was also implemented. Extensive PennDOT custom reports were developed to meet specific needs. Ecolane was heavily involved in the implementation process and assisted TransNet with the change management needed to ensure a successful transition. TransNet had a number of procedural issues arise during the initial Ecolane implementation, including resistance from consumers, sub-contractors, and business partners. Ecolane’s team was available onsite throughout the implementation to address these issues.
运营影响
  • Significantly reduced staff hours for reporting and data analysis during monthly audits. Before Ecolane, staff would have to manually verify data line-by-line in the driver logs against the data recorded in their previous software to determine if trips were successfully completed and accurate. This took tremendous amounts of time and the data was never accurate. Due to the real-time capabilities of Ecolane’s software, TransNet was able to simplify their processes and have accurate data and reports available whenever they needed it.
  • Reduced staff by 3 full-time positions due to reporting capabilities for billing and centralizing Call Center through software.
  • Improvement in on-time performance and trips per hour. Ecolane’s GPS capabilities also made responding to and fielding complaints easier because TransNet had accurate and immediate real-time data from the driver’s routes to demonstrate exactly when and where they were if there were ever doubts about a pickup or drop-off.
  • Ecolane’s software capabilities allowed TransNet to utilize mobile tablets in their vehicle fleet.
  • Ecolane was heavily involved in the implementation process and assisted TransNet with the change management needed to ensure a successful transition. TransNet had a number of procedural issues arise during the initial Ecolane implementation. These included some resistance from consumers, sub-contractors, and business partners and stemmed from the opinion that the changes were “not the way they’ve always done it”. They also had some issues with the integrity of the initial data transferred from their legacy software. Ecolane’s team was available onsite throughout the implementation since just selling the software and leaving an agency to figure it out is not in our business model.
数量效益
  • Reduced staff by 3 full-time positions.
  • Over 3,300 trips per day utilizing over 300 vehicles.
