Cut payroll and fleet costs — without cutting service

Savings in planning are not magic, they are artificial intelligence: denser shifts mean less paid idle time; tighter vehicle duties mean fewer vehicles for the same workload. Opturan computes this automatically and shows exactly where the money is

CHALLENGES

Where the extra costs come from

  • Loose shifts: drivers are paid for idle time between trips
  • Split shifts paid at a rate roughly 30% above standard
  • A fleet larger than needed: vehicle duties planned with a “just in case” margin
  • The shift plan is recomputed twice a year — the timetable changes, the savings are lost
HOW IT WORKS

Three cost drivers

The Dynamic Shifts module rebuilds the shift plan from scratch — optimally for the current timetable or service contract

  1. STEP 01

    Denser shifts — lower payroll

    Less paid idle time within each shift. In real deployments — a 2–8% reduction in driver payroll

  2. STEP 02

    The same service volume with fewer vehicles

    Optimal vehicle duties reduce the required fleet by 4–10% (real deployments) — with no missed trips

  3. STEP 03

    Moving away from split shifts

    Split shifts are paid roughly 30% above the standard rate. Opturan removes 80–90% of them (real deployments) — direct savings and lower turnover

RUB 149 million per year is the total financial effect of a deployment at a large operator across 45 routes: two weeks of real line dispatch on Opturan schedules, with no missed trips. It is the result of a specific deployment, not a promise to everyone
