I dont know how we functioned before Lynx"! I have used it with much success, and I have found that the mapping data is far superior to the more expensive software products on the market. It is a Windows-based program that it is soooooo easy to use that all my personnel mastered the program in just a few days of working with it. Also, I have replaced three programs (fleet, inventory, and mapping) with one!
Geary Cooper
Gordon County Schools, GA
"I can't believe how easy it is to create routes, I'm actually having fun using Lynx. My drivers love the route sheets and now they are able to get to know all the students on their routes. It's made a big difference. ... and you don't have to know a lot about computers to use this program. This software is just what I wanted."
Bill Steinhauer
Mount Horeb Schools
"I can honestly say that the route building and main database setup you have right now is FABULOUS and will, in my experience, need very little tweaking. The improvements since you started, until now, have really impressed me and will make a lot of customers extremely happy, I think!!! Thanks so much to all of you for your time and hard work and friendship. It's made our job here a lot more easy!!!"
Mitch Kieffer, Kieffer Bus Service
"Lynx is easy to use and has saved me so much time. The routing, fuel usage, and maintenance reports are simple to create. Anyone will find this program a great asset to their business."
