Transport Management Systems | BaCS

Transport Management Systems - BaCS

The BaCS system is installed in the largest public transport operators in Australia and running in excess of 3000 vehicles and over 4000 staff in NSW, VIC, QLD and WA. The system has been developed with the ability to link with world class Edge Ware products and Motorola digital two way radio systems. In fact MSTA was the first licensed developer for the Motorola digital platform in AsiaPac, providing such functionality as GPS tracking, Geofencing, anything to text, etc.

Aside from public transport operators the system is highly useful in areas such as emergency services, mining and utilities, any industry that operates a high number of assets as part of their business will find the BaCS transport management software advantageous.

The BaCS system is cost effective; the system is purchased outright and only has minimal annual maintenance fees providing confidence that it will always be up-to-date with the latest technology and with the backing of one of the largest software authors in the world - Microsoft.
