- 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.
