Concord, North Carolina – Transfinder recently hosted a lunch and learn session to discuss their integrated software and hardware tools designed to help transportation departments manage daily routines and challenges efficiently. Zachary Moren, manager of enablement and engineering at Transfinder, emphasized the importance of careful integration, processes, and workflows when implementing technology solutions.
Transfinder focuses on providing a unified platform with instant information updates to help districts serve their stakeholders, such as families and district administration, more effectively. The process begins with onboarding student registrations and seamlessly integrates parental input into student records and routing software.
The core tool of Transfinder’s system is the Routefinder Plus routing application, which, when combined with bus GPS and student ridership data, improves efficiency and builds trust in the system. Parent apps play a crucial role in providing transparent information about students’ daily journeys to and from school.
Moren highlighted the importance of school bus driver input and the use of tablets to streamline communication and improve on-time performance. He also discussed the benefits of using student ridership data on special needs buses and integrating resource substitution systems for bus or driver replacements.
Transfinder’s platform allows for customizable comparisons and analysis through data dashboards, enabling transportation departments to share information effectively with district administration. Moren shared success stories from districts like Springfield Public Schools in Oregon and Benton Community Schools in Indiana, demonstrating the positive impact of Transfinder’s tools in managing transportation operations.
Overall, accurate information sharing, efficient routing, and effective communication tools are essential for building trust with parents and improving transportation operations in school districts. Transfinder’s integrated solutions are designed to address these challenges and streamline processes for transportation departments.
