As a former Transportation Director of one of the largest suburban school Districts in New York and now as a School Transportation Consultant assisting with thousands of student routing changes each year I have found the “one-screen routing” in the EDULOG eSQL version to be invaluable. The ability to assign large groups of students quickly and to toggle from the student, stop, run or route screen in either tabular or map view allows us to determine the feasibility of student route assignments on one screen. Routing changes that used to take a full day are now accomplished in just a couple of hours. The increase in productivity has resulted in a decrease in spending by allowing Transportation Directors additional time to do the critical analysis work necessary for fiscally responsible run and route building.

Our district recently went through the process of redrawing several elementary boundaries to accommodate a new elementary opening this fall. The transportation department volunteered to assist the individual planning committees through the use of the Boundary Planning software. The program’s flexibility was extremely useful in fielding a wide array of questions and representing many different proposals. Through the Edulog programs, our district has been able to make a well informed decision that best serves our patrons in an exciting time of growth and change. For our department, Edulog continues to be an indispensable tool and now has had the opportunity to prove its effectiveness to a greater district audience.

We can now answer questions from parents and from the school quickly, and we don’t have to do a lot of searching either, The system also gives us the ability to find out who lives where and it gives us a location.

The reduction in stops was pretty huge, That streamlined our operation. It was kind of unreal how we had additional stops and it saved us a little bit in man-hours. It smoothed out the runs and allowed us to become more efficient.

This past summer has been a busy one for our school district and Edulog since we have recently upgraded to the School Assist and the EPTS Live. We originally mapped out a calendar with Edulog and our tech staff to get the system loaded onto our server by the 1st week of July. I then had meetings set up to start my training and while I am very new to the Edulog system the support staff answered my questions and helped me through the training. Our principals/secretaries have access to the School Assist program and I cannot tell you how much they love it as well as I do. This has helped us out when I am not in the office they can look at the buses arriving at their school and handle any busing issues that may arise. I speak about School Assist when I am at my trainings with other districts as well and tell them not only has it lowered the phone call volume but it has allowed the principals to be more proactive on the busing issues. With a recent follow up call with Joe from Edulog I spoke with him regarding the formatting of the School Assist and how it appears and what information we needed to have visible to the staff and they were eager to fix the format and we are grateful for that. My experience through this whole process has been very positive and I always get follow up calls asking if I am doing well in my program. Your staff at Edulog has been extremely helpful and patient with me as I was learning the new updated system and I cannot thank them enough for doing that.

After using VersaTrans solutions for a number of years, Shelby County Schools converted to using EDULOG routing software. Since doing this we have seen a vast improvement in customer support, ease of manipulating routes, and adjusting details in the system as needed. We believe EDULOG is a great pupil transportation routing software! If you purchase this software you will not be disappointed.

I just returned from the Annual EDULOG Conference and felt that I needed to share my positive experience. The sincere efforts of the staff, ability to transition between classes and the professional atmosphere all lent to an extraordinary 4 days. There was a high level of knowledge available, with sales people and technical staff to answer my questions. The ability to network with colleagues from across the country and Canada was priceless. The teachers I had were fitted to the classes and the classes were just the right size. The teachers took the time to make sure everyone understood what was being taught. As a former teacher and building administrator, I appreciated that they were structured so well.They allowed me to jump into different classes, and really tailor the program to my needs. In my case, I began with beginning routing classes, then jumped in the SQL classes, then went to the tablet class. It was an order that wouldn’t have made sense for but me, but it was something I could do so that I didn’t have to sit through a class that wasn’t useful.

We wanted to send a letter of appreciation and let you know how grateful we are for your support. Canyons School District has been extremely pleased with the product and support from EDULOG. We have used EDULOG for our regular education routing for several years with great results. In 2009, we switched all of our special education routes to EDULOG and realized a cost savings of more than $200,000.00. Since 2009, we have added other services to our package. Each service has helped our transportation department save money and time. Services such as EduTracker and GPS have been invaluable to us. As much as we appreciate the software, the customer support has been remarkable. Whenever there is a question or concern, we feel like we are your number 1 priority. Over the past year we have also developed a tremendous relationship with our Regional Sale Manager, CJ Otto. CJ has spent countless hours answering questions and following up to ensure our complete satisfaction. Thank you for your past, present and future help and support.

My district has been struggling with declining enrollment issues which creates problems in many areas. Transportation costs were a major issue so I entered into a contract with EDULOG to assist in mapping my bus routes. EDULOG assigned Andrew Rose as our account manager and he immediately began working with my staff in evaluation of our bus routes. As a result of this relationship I was able to cut two bus routes which saved the district approximately $100,000 in salaries, benefits, bus maintenance and fuel. EDULOG has an outstanding program which I recommend to other Superintendents and school districts. They have a great team that will focus on your needs. I consider EDULOG and their services as a true asset to our school district.

Anybody who’s having trouble knowing where their buses are at and who’s on them would want this system… if a person is wanting a system to do what we do, EDULOG is a good system.

Thanks to Edulog for making our lives easier. We used to do our SBM 14 NYS report by hand. We would have to get the information from each driver and enter and calculate on the proper forms. Now we have Edulog do the work for us. The report is generated from the bus routes and we print out the report for SED. We are a large City School district and our students are constantly moving. During the summer as well as during the school year families forget to let us know they moved. For the month of September we make 9,000-9,500 changes to bus routes through the Edulog system. Our district has over 70 buses on the road for summer school. We are able to put information in a SIM file to look back at for last school year as well as the summer routes. The support at Edulog helps us to get through what could be a difficult day. If they don’t have the answer they will get back to us quickly with a remedy to our situation. Thanks to Edulog for making our lives easier!
