Case Study: Schmitty & Sons achieves increased productivity and cost savings with Collective Data's collectiveShop™

Schmitty & Sons Transportation sees productivity improvements, resulting in better service for their customers

Schmitty & Sons Transportation, a full-service regional carrier with over 50 years in operation (350 vehicles, 415+ customers, 6 technicians), needed an adaptable, cost-effective system to maintain service quality across diverse divisions—school bus routing, van service, charter, transit and repair—while providing the data required for better decision-making and productivity improvements.

In 2011 they implemented Collective Data’s collectiveShop to manage maintenance, parts inventory, employee records, customer management and billing. Features like work assignment tracking, electronic maintenance records and inventory reports (e.g., Part Days in Stock, Work Order Part & Labor Summary) streamlined shop workflows, reduced parts waste, improved reporting and boosted technician productivity—resulting in measurable cost savings and faster, higher-quality service for customers.
