Since 1977, edulog has been the most respected and popular choice for school district transportation and planning professionals. Why? Because of our unwavering commitment to providing quality technology and services at an affordable price. When we introduced our first GIS-based routing and scheduling package in 1977, edulog changed the world of transportation management forever: we gave school districts for the first time the power to create optimized bus runs and schedules based on facts and supported by logic.
33 years later, we're still leading the industry: our software has grown into true decision-support systems capable of meeting the most complex challenges. Now, with the integration of real-time GPS bus and student tracking into transportation management, edulog is setting new standards for power, flexibility, and ease-of-use.
The integration of advanced technology with the human element forms edulog's core: no other firm has as broad a range of products (GPS, web, GIS, planning, ASP, accounting, fleet maintenance, field trip management) or can offer total solution services that guarantee the client's success. This integration is scalable, flexible, and proven.
From small rural districts in the Great Plains to the busy streets of the largest school district in North America, edulog has a proven approach: give school districts a way to manage information in a complete, accurate, reliable, and timely manner, and they will be a success. More than 1,300 districts throughout North America rely on edulog every day for the critical mission of safely managing our future: the students who will become tomorrow's leaders.
Displaying GPS positions of buses on a detailed map or easily adding 1,000 new students to a routing plan are worthwhile capabilities and something that you may never get with other systems.
But we also recognize that increasing efficiency is a primary goal of many school operations, and that return on investment is what separates edulog from other vendors. edulog clients have had a long history of success in reducing fleet requirements while maintaining or even increasing the level of service.
Among the many ways that edulog can help increase efficiency, we offer two approaches that are unique in the industry: sophisticated optimization programs that can consider numerous alternatives that might not be obvious but that can produce real savings; and an experienced staff of transportation professionals who have worked in the field facing the same problems and constraints that you have. Our clients' documented history of financial savings include cases of more than a 15 percent budget reduction in one year through the use of edulog management tools.
Not only are these savings verifiable, they can also be guaranteed: if edulog can't create a plan that reduces buses, you pay us nothing for our work.

Dr. Hien Nguyen, founder and CEO of edulog, has been an innovator in logistics and routing optimization dating back to his doctoral studies at MIT in the advanced mathematical field of operations research. After taking a faculty position at the University of Montana, Dr. Nguyen was asked to assist a Montana school district with a project to increase efficiency in its busing plan. edulog is the direct result of that groundbreaking integration of mathematical principles and GIS.
