Operating expenses, such as fleet management and fleet maintenance, make up a major portion of your transportation budget. Beyond the hard costs associated with operations, soft costs like lost time have a real impact on your bottom line. Whether you’re a fleet manager juggling schedules and routes or a driver navigating daily pickups and drop-offs, time pressures are constant — and costly when ignored.
A smart transportation management software like the one offered by SHARE Mobility can deliver concrete, measurable improvements to saving time for your transportation organization. With powerful resources like SHARE Admin Tools, the Core Routing Engine, and SHARE Analyze, transportation leaders can streamline route planning, automate scheduling, optimize fleet scheduling, and gain actionable insights — all in one platform.
Smarter Planning Before Drivers Hit the Road
Before drivers ever turn the key, SHARE’s fleet scheduling software sets the stage for a smoother, more efficient operation.
Get Smart Rider Insights
With Commuter Analysis, SHARE's advanced algorithm analyzes key data and provides actionable insights so fleet managers can better understand commute patterns and simulate rider demand, pinpointing where and when service is needed most. This allows managers to right-size fleets and avoid sending too many (or too few) vehicles on the road.
Manage Data in Bulk
Bulk data uploads make onboarding new rider groups or client accounts fast and easy, eliminating hours of tedious manual data entry while helping to ensure that uploaded trip and rider data is validated and free from errors.
Tap Into Powerful Administrative Tools
SHARE Admin Tools allow managers to quickly customize service areas, define pickup zones, and adjust schedules in real time, giving them increased control over how their service operates before the first trip even begins.
AI-Powered Routing to Keep Things Moving
There's nothing artificial about the advantages of harnessing artificial intelligence for transportation operations.
Benefits For Transit Drivers
SHARE’s smart routing takes the guesswork out of trips. With demand-response or fixed routes that are optimized based on onboard time, walking distances, and route deviations, drivers can spend less time figuring out the best route and more time staying on schedule.
The smart routing engine even adjusts for traffic patterns and pickup needs, helping drivers avoid delays and unnecessary detours that can be costly — in one major North American city, roadway delays cost the city's public transit system 15% of its total operating costs.
Plus, SHARE's real-time fleet tracking keeps drivers visible to dispatchers, making it easier to provide support, reroute vehicles if needed, and ensure every trip stays on course. This helps create less stress for drivers, smoother trips for passengers, and more on-time arrivals for everyone.
Benefits For Transit Managers
SHARE'S routing engine optimizes routes in real-time, typically reducing unnecessary vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and improving on-time performance, which can save fuel, labor hours, and vehicle wear and tear — while delivering a better rider experience.
Managers can also benefit from the Trip Requests tool, a centralized hub for managing demand-response trips. Here, staff can:
- Create, cancel, and assign trip requests
- View key trip details
- Monitor trip statuses in real time
With features like customizable routing options, rider and driver coordination, and the Instant Replay Viewer for analyzing route events, managers can allocate vehicles and drivers more efficiently and quickly respond to rider needs.
Streamlined On-the-Go Operations
Switch to up-to-date fleet management software and see the benefits for everyone involved.
Benefits For Drivers
Instead of juggling multiple systems or paper schedules, drivers can view their entire shift (routes, rider pickup details, navigation, and trip status updates) in a single driver scheduling software platform.
This all-in-one transportation scheduling software platform helps drivers stay organized, reduces missed stops or confusion, and makes it easier to adapt to last-minute changes. With less time spent figuring out logistics, drivers can focus on providing safe, efficient, and on-time service for their riders.
Benefits For Dispatchers and Managers
SHARE’s Dispatcher Portal offers real-time visibility and control over daily operations. When unexpected changes happen, like a delayed driver or an urgent rider request, dispatchers can step in instantly to adjust routes, reassign trips, or communicate directly with drivers.
They can also issue real-time alerts to keep the entire team informed and on the same page. This level of on-the-go oversight helps minimize service disruptions and other costly operating time wastage.
Bonus: Benefits For Riders
Transit operators know that time matters to their riders, too. Keeping riders informed, saving them time, and helping them avoid delays are key to customer satisfaction. That’s why we built the SHARE Mobility rider mobile app. Available to all SHARE Mobility-powered programs, the rider mobile app makes it simple for riders to book rides and recurring trips, track vehicles in real time, and stay updated on developments that will affect their experience.
Robust Reporting to Drive Future Fleet Efficiency
SHARE Analyze equips fleet managers with the data to make smarter decisions and continuously improve operations. Through clearly laid-out dashboards, managers can track key performance metrics like:
- Ridership trends
- No-show rates
- On-time performance
This makes it easier to spot inefficiencies or shifts in demand. The driver performance dashboard also highlights individual and team performance, helping managers identify where additional training might be needed or where drivers are excelling and deserve recognition.
With this robust reporting, your teams won't just be reacting to problems. They’ll be able to proactively fine-tune their services to save time, reduce costs, and deliver a better rider experience.
