The Need
Road transport organizations typically have huge fleet of buses that operate from depots situated at various locations. These organizations use manual ticket issuing systems. Thus the daily or monthly transactions have to be consolidated in order to generate a future plan of action.
For example, if there is a need to start a new bus on some route where the number of passengers and the revenue generated are considerable. In order to make this decision and plan the bus route and schedule, it is extremely essential to have consolidated data at hand. However with the existing manual processes, this will be too time consuming and of course, error prone.
What if all this data is available at real-time at a central location? It would naturally be efficient, accurate and cost effective at the same time!

Our Solution
'Depot Manager' software focuses on easing the day to day tasks of the road transport organizations.
Electronic tickets are issued by a conductor using an ETM.
The ETM stores information like ETM number, date, time, trip number, type, route of traveling, boarding and alighting stage, conductor and driver number. There is also an option of a smart card based ETM where all the transactions are smart card based.
Data from the ETM is sent to the depot PC via Depot Manager Application Software. This is then sent to the central / head office using a dialup / ISDN / Intranet connection
MIS reports on the passenger data, revenue collected, scheduling, etc are generated using this centralized data.
