GoBarry
Real-time breakdown management for bus operators — replacing phone calls and paper logs with structured, fleet-wide visibility.
The Problem
Bus operators are managing breakdowns in the dark
When a bus breaks down, the traditional response is a flurry of phone calls between drivers, controllers, and engineers. Information is relayed verbally, logged on paper, shared over WhatsApp groups, or not recorded at all.
- No real-time visibility across the fleet
- Phone calls create information silos and delays
- Paper logs are lost, illegible, or never completed
- No audit trail for insurance or regulatory compliance
- Dead mileage goes untracked — BSOG claims go unmade
- Passengers left in the dark as information fails to propagate
The Solution
A structured, real-time breakdown workflow
GoBarry is bespoke fleet management software built specifically for how bus operators actually work. It digitises every step of the breakdown lifecycle — from the moment a driver reports an incident to the moment it is resolved.
- Wizard-based reporting guides drivers step by step
- Control room gets live updates the moment a breakdown is logged
- Automatic engineer dispatch with real-time ETA tracking
- GTFS route integration for timetable and stop-level context
- BSOG dead mileage tracked and calculated automatically
- Full audit trail from report to resolution
