WHY QROUTES?
TAILORED FOR COMPLEXITY
Built to accommodate complex passenger needs, QRoutes allows teams to plan more inclusive transport options for children who need assistance. The tool finds efficient solutions that meet each pupil’s individual mobility needs – including extra space in the vehicle and extra time to board.
REDUCE TOTAL FLEET
Increase vehicle occupancy to reduce the number of vehicles and drivers you need, freeing them up for other work.
The magic of optimisation means that alongside cutting daily mileage and fuel costs, it can also reduce the total travel time.
AUTOMATE COMPLIANCE
Set rigid rules for journey times – such as 75-minute maximums – to ensure student welfare remains a priority without sacrificing network efficiency. QRoutes allows you to bake these rules directly into your plans, ensuring every route is both cost-effective and fully compliant.
