Gwinnett County Schools Automate 85% of Manual Work With BusPlanner

Gwinnett County Public Schools serves over 180K students and operates nearly 1.8K school buses daily. Managing such a vast transportation system requires efficiency, precision, and adaptability.

David Kendrick, Business Analyst for Gwinnett County Schools, shared insights on how BusPlanner has streamlined its operations.

The Need to Shift From Disconnected Systems

Before switching to BusPlanner, the transportation department at Gwinnett County Schools faced the following challenges:

Inefficient Software System

Handling daily tasks was a challenge due to disconnected software modules.

Routing Challenges

Managing routing and scheduling effectively was difficult and time-consuming.

Poor Support Services

Reaching out for support was often in vain due to inadequate assistance.

Last-Minute Changes

Assigning substitute drivers was a challenge due to frequent last-minute changes.

Logistical Issues

Ensuring every student had an assigned route created operational difficulties.

With BusPlanner, we can take our almost 1800 buses and run those through the application, which will automatically do 85% of the work! This really frees up our routing department to focus on specific areas that need the human touch.
