Case Study: VersaTrans cuts batch assignment time from 12 hours to under 15 minutes with SmartBear AQtime Pro

VersaTrans - Customer Case Study

VersaTrans, maker of VersaTrans RP — a school bus planning and routing solution for K–12 districts — completely rewrote its flagship application moving from flat files to a Microsoft SQL Server client‑server design. During development they encountered severe performance regressions: a key batch assignment operation that previously took about an hour ballooned to 10–12 hours for a mid‑sized district, threatening the viability of the new release.

They adopted AQtime Pro to profile execution times and call frequencies, used its results to pinpoint hotspots and decide where to refactor or redesign, and then optimized the critical code paths. The profiling-driven fixes cut the batch assignment from over 10 hours to under 15 minutes, saved substantial developer time, and freed the team to add more features.
