Managing students and their
transportation needs is a time consuming and sometimes thankless job.
Bus Master was designed by working with individuals just like you.
Our goal is making your job easier and freeing up your valuable time to
do more productive tasks, like transporting students safely to their
destinations.
Bus Master was developed by a
Microsoft Certified Partner. Microsoft and Bus Master are
names you can trust to develop products to make your job easier. Users
from all over the United States and Canada can't be wrong!
Just ask yourself a few questions . . .
-
Is your current software
difficult to run and expensive to own? Do you need something that is
user friendly and works the way you think?
-
Do you want your transportation
department to become efficient in all areas, fast and affordably?

Do you want to know your costs
in all areas?

When your operation optimizes the power of Bus Master, it's like

the excessive charges.

What if I need
it to do something different?

How easy is it to
use and get up and running?
The user interface is simple, intuitive
and straight forward. Most users are up and running in less than an
hour. Bus Master utilizes the familiar windows interface and an
intuitive menu structure. You want to look for a student . . . click on
Student Records, you want to print a report . . click on the Print Menu.
Normal installation and setup is a snap. You will receive a Quick Start
Guide that will help you gather the information you will need to
personalize the software for your company or school. Because
of it's design we can easily make any changes that your transportation
department may
need. If
you need a report here or a slight change there . . . no problem! Call
us or make the changes yourself!

How
much will it cost?
When looking at costs you need to look at
the initial investment versus the amount and timeframe of the payback of
this initial investment. A lot
of transportation software comes in different modules at different
prices or you pay different prices based on the number of students you
service.
Cost justification and Payback.
The first thing you will notice about the
software is that there is no need for pre-printed forms. No
three-part carbonless conduct slips, no invoices . . . absolutely no
pre-printed forms. You will save MORE than the cost of the software the
first year and keep repaying yourself year after year by simply
eliminating the cost of your pre-printed forms. Now that's
cost justification alone to try Bus Master. Next you will save countless
labor hours by using Bus Master. No more hunting through paperwork or
schedules because you can access all your information right from your
computer. We have also had customers call and tell us how much money
they have saved by using the Maintenance Module and the Activity Trip
Module . . and the list keeps growing. Pick up the phone and call
us at 913-681-2670 and we'll show you how affordable and powerful Bus
Master really is!
