The Los Angeles Metro carries over 1.3M Angelenos daily on a fleet of buses and railcars. Metro selected iMarq™ as its cloud-based solution to digitize and automate core processes such as inspections, maintenance, incident reporting, quality assurance and compliance for its rolling stock, wayside, signals, facilities, and general services. The app has high user adoption among employees with an agency-wide roll-out that will reach up to 2,000 users. The solution was seamlessly integrated with their legacy back-end system and Metro has achieved significant benefits from the use of iMarq™ such as:
Enhanced passenger safety through real-time monitoring of fleets and assets.
Daily savings of 20% in man-hours, projected to go up to 400 man-hours a day.
