As the premier event for the bus and coach industry, Euro Bus Expo serves as a platform to showcase cutting-edge technology, sustainable solutions, and industry innovations.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to explore the company’s new Auto-Quote feature, which aims to maximalise operational efficiency through the ability to automatically receive accurate quotes.

With Auto-Quote, operators can look forward to a reduction in admin time and costs, as well as a drastic reduction in quote request emails, and most importantly: an increase in booking conversions.
In addition to launching their new feature, National Coach Network will announce a competition where one lucky operator can win nearly £900 in road travel accessories, including the cutting-edge Snooper S6900 navigation system, all for free.

Redefining the control room with Control360
"Control room teams need to respond quickly to any unexpected issues that may arise ‘on the day’ and having data in disparate platforms slows down the process, affects data integrity, and is prone to errors. Having worked with bus operators across the UK, EPM and Omnibus Solutions understand the importance of the control room in operating a quality bus service and the challenges control room teams face daily.
Their latest software solution, Control360, launching at the Euro Bus Expo, combats these challenges by consolidating operational data from multiple systems into one central location. Having up-to-date and accurate data available on one platform empowers control room teams to make informed decisions and quickly respond to on-the-day issues in real time.
Control360 delivers:
• Single consolidated view of the bus operation for easier management
• Proactive management of the network with complete visibility of driver and vehicle information
• Accelerated decision-making with clear view of the impact and cost implications
Aiden Proctor, Head of Product at EPM and Omnibus Solutions, said “We are excited to showcase Control360 at the Euro Bus Expo. There are many systems available to control room teams, but they often work in silos and require duplicate data entry which makes the control room teams' tasks more complicated than they need to be.
“The platform combines operational data into a consolidated view so control room teams can work more efficiently and provide a quality and reliable bus service to passengers. Control360 empowers bus operators to make data-driven decisions and effectively manage day-to-day issues.”
EPM and Omnibus Solutions will be providing demonstrations of the innovative Control360 throughout the event on stand 194.
Additionally, they will be providing demonstrations of their other popular products for both bus operators and local transport authorities, including:
• Customer Resolution Centre
• Insights
• Timetabling
• Scheduling suite
