FAQ’s
Your questions answered
How does Optibus help us react to daily disruptions more quickly?
Optibus bridges the planned schedule and the street reality. Because our platform is unified, dispatchers have an “early warning system” to identify delays before they impact service. You can instantly reassign work to the most suitable standby driver, and that new duty is communicated directly to them via the Driver App, ensuring passengers never feel the disruption.
How does the system simplify payroll and timekeeping?
We replace manual paper logs with an automated sign-on to pay workflow. The system automatically tracks “Planned vs. Actual” work hours, including overtime. This data is translated into accurate payroll codes based on your union rules, allowing you to export audit-ready data to your HR system in seconds.
Does the platform help improve driver retention and satisfaction?
Absolutely. By digitizing requests for absences and duty swaps through our Driver App, you give your workforce more transparency and control over their lives. Additionally, our allocation engine balances workloads fairly, ensuring overtime is distributed equitably and driver preferences are respected – key strategies for driver retention.
Can we plan for several weeks of work at a time?
Yes. Optibus allows you to move beyond putting out fires by providing a comprehensive weekly overview. You can plan and visualize your resource requirements up to five weeks in advance. This proactive visibility helps you manage seasonal demand and maintenance, reducing last-minute stress for your dispatch team.
