BARTA had Fleet*Mate since the early '90s then went to TransitFleet in 2007. Howard Ostroff worked with us for all of the installation, training, and support on both packages and the conversion. Howard offers support that is unmatched by any vendor I have dealt with. Howard is always available and receptive to fix any problems we have or to discuss enhancements to the product. Howard is always available when we need him.
- Rick Roebuck, Assistant Executive Director

TransitFleet is the easiest maintenance software that I have used. We have merged our previous information into the TransitFleet software with minimal concerns. It was most impressive when we were giving input for the design of some of the reports and other parts of the system. For inventory, purchasing, maintenance recording and tracking and other accounting reports this system is truly designed for the transit maintenance department. The customer service that is offered with this software is impeccable. When we have a concern or error message we contact Howard and most times within 30 minutes from the time that Howard receives the concern, it is resolved. Our system has not been down for any length of time due to any concern or error.
