Reading Buses has enhanced operational scalability by upgrading to EPM’s cloud-based solution to support growth plans.
The operator utilises EPM’s Depot Performance System (DPS) to manage the commercial, financial and operational performance of the business.
The move provides capability to scale the service for future the business expansion. In recent years the operator has seen significant growth across Berkshire with the addition of two sister bus companies: Newbury & District and Thames Valley Buses.
