Built to Solve Real Problems
Transportation teams juggle the persistent demands of student safety, driver shortages, budget oversight, and high expectations from administrators and families. No two days are the same and leaders have to stay light on their feet to pivot in the face of constant change bordering on controlled chaos.
Outdated systems in the forms of paper forms, spreadsheets, email threads increase the stress and make it more difficult to respond flexibly to the shifting needs of route changes, needy parents, demanding administrators and drivers.
busHive and Bytecurve transform those antiquated systems into fully digital trip, dispatch and payroll solutions that makes it easy to respond when the demands shift.
Our software replaces disjointed processes with a centralized, intuitive, cloud-based platform tailored to school and charter operations.

“When it was all on paper, where we were flipping through trying to figure out who’s next in line, it was easy to skip someone. busHive makes it so much easier.”
Quoting & Billing
busHive streamlines a cumbersome financial management process that makes it difficult for transportation administrators to efficiently and transparently calculate and share costs for trips from other departments. In many states, transportation needs robust and detailed documentation to recoup funds from federal and state initiatives or mandates that fall on transportation.
These features make it easy for schools to create accurate quotes, and track payments across a diverse set of funding sources.
Accurate quotes based on real mileage, time, and custom rates
Integrated PC Miler® mapping
Invoice generation and payment tracking
Exportable reports by school, driver, trip type, or account
“The quoting feature lets us calculate a trip cost quickly, so the school knows the cost of the trip prior to doing it.”
Reporting & Financial Oversight
Having a comprehensive view of trip management, maintenance, trips helps administrators see the big picture and easily share essential data with administrators outside of the transportation department.
These features can be customized for your fleet and converted into simple PDFs for instant sharing across your organization.
Custom views for business managers and bookkeepers
Vehicle revenue and maintenance reporting
Support for multi-school year rate structures
