Zonar Launches All-in-One Bus Suite for Enhanced School District Safety and Efficiency
Zonar, a leading innovator in commercial vehicle fleet health and safety, has bolstered its offerings with the acquisition of ez enRoute. This move brings together Zonar's expertise and ez enRoute's IoT technology and dynamic routing, resulting in the launch of Zonar Bus Suite. This all-in-one routing ecosystem is designed to enhance safety, efficiency, and communication for school districts of any size.
Zonar Bus Suite introduces real-time tracking and alerts for drivers and substitutes. They can now monitor who has boarded or exited the bus, and receive instant notifications if a student boards the wrong bus or alights at the wrong stop. The suite integrates various fleet management aspects into a single platform, including electric bus state-of-charge data, predictive maintenance insights, on-board vehicle cameras, and student ridership management.
Powered by ez enRoute's independent routing engine, Zonar Bus Suite provides real-time, turn-by-turn directions without the need for a separate routing provider. The dashboard allows schools to monitor live bus runs, track fleet performance, access student manifest reports, and provide parents with accurate ETAs and student location updates in real time. Parents can also use the Zonar Bus Suite Parent app for route notifications and alerts.
Through the acquisition of ez enRoute, Zonar expands its technology portfolio and reinforces its position as the leading provider of adaptable solutions for school districts. Zonar Bus Suite, built on ez enRoute's independent routing engine, offers an integrated, all-in-one platform that enhances safety, efficiency, and communication in pupil transportation.
