At Grampian Solutions, we know that successfully running a bus operation isn’t just about allocating drivers or scheduling trips – it’s also about how efficiently you manage your fleet and depot itself. Yard Manager brings depot control out into the yard, giving supervisors, controllers and traffic-office teams a mobile, graphical, and real-time way to manage vehicles, run-outs and depot logistics.
Yard Manager gives you a bird’s-eye graphical representation of your depot, accessible via tablet or device. This means you can manage vehicles and run-out directly from the yard – no need to stay tethered to a desk.
A typical depot sends buses out quickly in the morning (on average one bus every 72 seconds). Yard Manager helps ensure each vehicle is in the right place at the right time, enabling fast, accurate runouts and reducing the risk of lost mileage or delays.
By moving traffic-office operations into the yard, you reduce dependency on physical infrastructure – less need for office desk space, buildings, lighting, and associated real-estate costs.
Yard Manager helps you plan for electric bus operations by enabling staff to monitor vehicle charge-state and manage charging logistics – ensuring buses are ready for service when needed.
With the depot mapped digitally, vehicle positioning, maintenance status, and yard movements are visible in real time. This reduces the risk of errors or accidents, and enables maintenance and engineering teams to act quickly when issues arise.
Manage the depot from within the yard itself – no more running back and forth between traffic office and vehicles. Gain real-time awareness of where buses are parked, their status, and readiness for dispatch.
Enable multi-depot oversight – run satellite depots from a single team, reduce infrastructure costs, optimise fleet utilisation and improve operational margins.
Immediately report vehicle availability, maintenance issues or charging status. Schedule maintenance without disrupting run-out and ensure only ready buses go into service.
Yard Manager is part of DAS Anywhere, our comprehensive suite of tools designed to simplify complex bus operations. Together, these solutions help transport organisations operate safely, legally, and efficiently – while empowering teams and drivers to deliver reliable services to the travelling public.
