## Reviews

### "Improved service" — 5.0/5

> **Alex** | *October 26, 2018* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Functionality: Multiple functions under one roof all linked from: &#10;Client information &#10;Scheduling &#10;Dispatch&#10;MDT&#10;Mapping&#10;POI&#10;GEO coding&#10;Trip tracking&#10;Driver monitoring&#10;Data capture&#10;Reporting&#10;&#10;there are to many to list..
> 
> **Cons**: very little in my opinion the biggest CON is the user and their ability to work within the software and see the many potential gains. A failure isn't necessarily a software issue I have found. Many times its a blend of agency understanding and settings, with interactions with the system playing a large role in problems
> 
> My agency has seen a huge increase in efficiency and productivity, a gain of well over 50% trip increase with no increase in resources. Reduction in customer complaints and increases in compliments.

### "Great Product, Great Customer Service" — 5.0/5

> **Cathy** | *June 24, 2020* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I appreciate the ease of accessibility from any computer or location. The conversion from previous software was quick and the Ecolane Help Desk is a wealth of great information and training tools.
> 
> **Cons**: I would like to see the reports option be a little more user friendly.  Hard to pick the right report.  However, Help Desk is always willing to get the reports I need and save them as favorites for future reporting.
> 
> Converting to Ecolane dispatching software has allowed our company to provide more trips, improving our overall ridership and fare box return.

### "Ecolane" — 3.0/5

> **Kay** | *October 26, 2018* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The amount of data that can be pulled from Ecolane is very helpful.
> 
> **Cons**: Changing/updating subscriptions is cumbersome.

### "Software is efficient in scheduling and reporting." — 4.0/5

> **Janelle** | *April 6, 2018* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The capability of producing various reports in compliance with contractual obligations and internal assessments on drivers on time performances, mapping capabilities allows for monitoring and tracking of trips and drivers.
> 
> **Cons**: Ability to maintain a large percentage of  "group" trips  versus demand response trips.  Program group trips from same geographic area and site appear to go array when the system notices that there are other capable drivers in the area.
> 
> The ability to produce various reports in compliance with our contractual obligations has improved tremendously with Ecolane. Eliminates alot of time and effort to manually produce necessary data.  System's tracking and monitoring capabilities are satisfying and useful.

### "Ecolane DRT" — 4.0/5

> **Sherry** | *November 8, 2018* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that the data that goes into the software, is able to be retrieved and used to make business related transportation decisions to better serve the clients.
> 
> **Cons**: Some of the processes take multiple steps/clicks, where if configured differently, they could be made on a single page.
> 
> Having been involved with Ecolane from the inception of the project, I can say that they have been responsive and receptive to suggestions along the way. The Ecolane team is an asset to our business.

It includes a real-time scheduling algorithm, logic-based responses to events as they occur, and continuous monitoring and data collection of vehicles and trip statuses.\n\nWith Ecolane, schedules are created the day before based on the bookings and information already acquired, in order to provide a best case scenario overview of the following day. Ecolane monitors vehicles on the road in real-time and dynamically schedules trips in response to active changing conditions in order to maintain the original desired schedule. \n\nEcolane can respond and reschedule according to vehicle location, destination, and planned route, as well as traffic congestion, change of course, no show riders, cancellations, and late pickup/drop offs. If a vehicle is late, the platform distributes upcoming trips for that vehicle to another available vehicle to avoid further delays.\n\nAll drivers have a mobile data tablet (MDT) inside the vehicle that provides real-time data regarding scheduling updates. The tablet provides constant GPS location tracking, communication with dispatchers, and location based updates to riders. Ecolane also enables billing and payments directly through the platform, and can calculate costs based on location, distance, and number of riders.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/950a4f66-349e-4997-ae07-16cf503e9b61.png","url":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/129979/ecolane-drt","@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/129979/ecolane-drt#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","bestRating":5,"ratingValue":4.4,"ratingCount":16},"offers":{"price":"50000","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/129979/ecolane-drt#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Transportation Dispatch Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/223/transportation-dispatch/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Ecolane Evolution","position":3,"item":"/software/129979/ecolane-drt","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
