British transport giant taking on technology from Tranzaura

STAFF at a Castletroy firm have developed a mobile phone application which is helping a British bus firm improve the maintenance and efficiency of its fleet.

Tranzaura has designed a platform to help workers in the transport industry.

One of its biggest clients is the Go-Ahead Group, which operates bus services across Britain.

The two firms have a five-year partnership.

From this October, Go-Ahead’s bus companies will be able to streamline pre-service daily inspections and maintenance processes through an app developed by Tranzaura.

It’s moving from paper-based safety records, to those on the application - electronically - will improve reliability, sustainability and safety across the Go-Ahead fleet which numbers more than 6,000 buses.

The Limerick firm’s app gives real-time compliance visibility and audit trails for operational and management teams at Go-Ahead.

By using photo capture, live reporting and real-time communication tools between drivers and engineers, it helps to ensure the smooth operation and overall reliability of Go-Ahead’s bus services.

Go-Ahead initially used the Tranzaura technology in its garages in London as a trial before rolling it out to the rest of Britain.

Chief executive of Go-Ahead bus Matt Carney said: “Our partnership with Tranzaura reflects our dedication to digitalisation, embracing innovative solutions to streamline processes and improve the way we work. By incorporating Tranzaura’s digital solutions into our operations, we will achieve new levels of fleet reliability and efficiency, creating safer and more reliable services for customers.”

Chief executive of Tranzaura Shane Mann (pictured above) said: “The Go-Ahead Group and Tranzaura partnership is built on trust and an excellent working relationship, helping to drive higher standards for defect reporting across the bus industry. Tranzaura is proud to be able to support Go-Ahead in not just driving operational efficiency but also delivering more value to customers.

"We look forward to a continued successful partnership with Go-Ahead over the next five years.”
