Case Study: Viação Alvorada saves €600,000 and boosts compliance with Optibus

Saving €600,000 in three months through digital transformation

Viação Alvorada, part of the Vimeca/Lisboa Transportes consortium, won a major tender to operate a large share of bus transportation in Lisbon and needed a way to manage complex scheduling, rostering, and compliance requirements at scale. The company faced limited flexibility with custom rules and heavy manual work, making it difficult to create efficient vehicle and crew plans while meeting all authority and union criteria. It turned to Optibus’ cloud-native transportation management platform to support the operation.

Using Optibus, Viação Alvorada automated and digitalized scheduling, introduced custom templates and rules, and gained real-time compliance validation and notifications. Within three months, Optibus helped the company save over €600,000, reduce six vehicles and driver duties by 5%, achieve 90% efficiency for vehicle and duty schedules, eliminate 95% of manual work, and reach 100% compliance with tender, government, and union rules.
