Stagecoach London is making a big change in its current scheduling software and adopting Omnibus software for the first time.

The company looked carefully at how suitable other products on the market were to meet their specific needs, and after considerable testing, Stagecoach London decided to adopt the OmniTIMES, OmniBASE, Crewplan, OmniROTA, and OmniMAN packages.

Garry Nicholass, Commercial Manager for Stagecoach London, comments:  “the Omnibus software gave the best all round solution to our specific future London scheduling needs.”

With a very experienced scheduling team and the need to plan for the successful future of the business, Stagecoach London decided that an enhanced package was needed for their changing business needs and therefore undertook an assessment of what the modern scheduling software market had to offer.

Garry explains:  “We had a very specific remit that the system needed to be user friendly and with a proven ability to create timetables and bus and crew schedules accurately, efficiently and within tight timescales.”

Omnibus worked very quickly to set everything up for Stagecoach London, and within a very short space of time terms were agreed and training was organised for the Stagecoach London schedulers.  As Garry concludes:  “the benefits are already beginning to be seen with the efficient production of easy to understand timetables, bus and crew workings and rotas."
