About Cot

Cot is a leading transportation company serving thousands of passengers daily across multiple cities. With a focus on delivering reliable and cost-efficient services, Cot aims to ensure that buses are allocated where and when they are needed the most. Their commitment to innovation has enabled them to embrace modern technologies for optimizing operations.

The Challenge

Before adopting our solution, Cot faced a recurring issue in bus scheduling. The company lacked accurate demand forecasts, leading to inefficient bus allocations. Often, buses would need to travel empty from one location to another to meet unexpected demand spikes. This problem not only increased fuel costs but also resulted in wasted manpower and operational losses. Cot needed a solution to predict ticket sales more accurately and ensure that buses were in the right place at the right time.

The Solution

Cot turned trust in Forts for the ability to leverage historical data, internal and factor to generate highly accurate demand forecasts. By using Forts, Cot could plan bus allocations 30 days in advance, ensuring that buses were positioned based on predicted demand in each location.

The result of forts help them make informed decisions on bus reallocation without incurring extra costs. This predictive capability helped Cot eliminate unnecessary trips and ensured that buses were optimally placed to serve passengers.

The Results

After implementing Forts, Cot saw immediate improvements in operational efficiency. The platform’s accurate forecasting reduced unnecessary trips, cutting fuel costs and overtime wages. Additionally, Cot’s passengers experienced better service as buses were more consistently available where demand was highest.

Cot’s use of Forts has transformed their approach to bus scheduling, providing a sustainable, data-driven solution that will continue to save them money while improving service quality.
