Landflight, a premier West Midlands bus operator, is modernising its operations with Velociti Solutions to increase operational efficiency and enhance the passenger experience.
Serving the region since 1974, the operator is replacing manual systems with modules from Velociti’s Omnibus Software Suite to streamline processes and reduce costs.
A key priority for Landflight is optimising operational processes, particularly the accurate capture of drivers’ hours for payroll purposes. To achieve this, the operator is implementing depot allocation, which streamlines driver and vehicle management, ensures precise recording of driver hours, and integrates seamlessly with control room systems.
Additionally, Landflight is adopting the Engage driver app to enhance workforce management. The app offers real-time communication, efficient access to duty information and instant notifications of any changes, ensuring seamless coordination between drivers and operational teams.
The operator is also optimising scheduling processes by implementing timetabling, vehicle scheduling, rostering, and TransXChange tools. These solutions will improve scenario planning, drive efficiency through streamlined processes and minimise risks.
The Omnibus Software Suite is an industry-leading end-to-end solution used by operators and transport authorities to optimise critical processes. It covers all stages of service – before, during and after the day – allowing users to select and implement the modules that best meet their unique needs.
Leigh Russell, Operations Manager at Landflight, said: “Landflight is committed to providing efficient, accessible and reliable bus services. By modernising our operations with Velociti Solutions and implementing the Omnibus Software Suite, we will improve efficiency, gain greater control over our processes and enhance the passenger experience. This partnership will streamline day-to-day operations and position us for long-term growth, allowing us to adapt swiftly to changing demands and elevate our service levels.”
Nick Brookes, Chief Customer Officer at Velociti Solutions, said: “We’re excited to partner with Landflight. By implementing the Omnibus Software Suite, Landflight is stepping into a new era of operational excellence, joining operators and transport authorities transforming their processes with our technology. Together, we are modernising Landflight’s operations and equipping the operator with the tools to meet business objectives and drive long-term success.”
