Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Customizable data exports for analytics and insights Very easy to user for drivers Trip requests and scheduling is very well integrated
  • Bambi makes managing our non-emergency medical transportation operations much easier. The platform helps us organize assigned trips, coordinate drivers, monitor trip status, and keep important transportation information in one place. It is user-friendly, dependable, and has helped our team improve communication, scheduling, and daily efficiency.
  • Th ease of use and the customer support is top tier! The team at BAMBI takes the time to make sure the companies understand how to use the software. You don't feel like you have to figure it out alone.
  • Where do I start! 1. I am new to the area, and I could not do this business without it. 2. The online platform creates a seamless network that all of drivers can communicate with our team, and also our riders!
  • Excellent UX/UI Design The best Customer support team Fast and easy solution to questions from the team.

Cons

  • Pricing could be better Overall no issues with the platform
  • Occasionally, the platform may experience minor delays or require refreshing before updated trip information appears. We would also appreciate additional reporting and customization options, but these issues have not significantly affected our overall positive experience.
  • Nothing at the moment. We are new to the NEMT business and BAMBI has been a very useful tool that has made understanding the requirements in this industry simple to navigate,
  • I wish you didn't have to utilize maps outside of the app.
  • Adding support for multiple languages. More customization for reports

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The ease of use. Ability to create route options without tearing down other routes. Quick response when needing help or have questions. Joe & Anna willing to help set things up and then walking you through what was done and how it was done. Always making improvements.
  • Excellent customer service. Software is very user friendly and the lynx staff is always available to help and train.
  • Very dependable and reliable routing software program. Joe and Anna are amazing to work with. If I have a question they respond right away. Their customer services is amazing. Lynx is easy to use and Joe and Anna walk you through all set-up needs, DPI student reporting and route consolidations. Lynx is located in Wisconsin, so they are familiar with all types of weather conditions and the terrain.
  • Lynx provides the best tech support I have ever utilized! In over 25 years as a school district CIO, Technology Director, Technology Coordinator, and Director of Transportation, I have never encountered such expert, timely, and willing tech support. In my transportation position, I am often up working very early in the morning prior to drivers arriving. In my early days utilizing the software suite, I'd send a quick email and invariably my phone would ring with an expert on the other end of the phone! A quick fix or explanation and I was on my way to getting my completed! At one point, we transition from being a locally hosted service to moving to the cloud. The transition was seamless! At another point, I wanted to automate student information and routing information to transfer to and from Infinite Campus to Lynx and back again. Lynx tech support worked directly with Infinite Campus and we had this automation completed in less than a week!
  • Great customer service. Software is user friendly. DPI reports are a breeze with the help of Joe and Anna.

Cons

  • The only Con is that the software does not come with School Bus Drivers. If it came with 2 or 3 drivers this would be the best software routing system in the world. In all seriousness, I have not found one Con yet, we might only be in the honeymoon phase, but I don't see it going down, I only see the potential that we have been shown so far.
  • The software is missing a way to record attendance directly from drivers to lynx other than the student ID cards. From my understanding this is being added.
  • Not having the parents app set-up. We utilize another GPS system to have the parents app and the GPS monitoring of the buses. Joe has been amazing to work with having the two systems talk with each other.
  • There have been so many improvements over the years, I simply cannot think of one thing I do not like.
  • I have been using the software for 11 years and have yet to see a negative side of it.
