Rome City Schools turned to Bytecurve to save $30,000/month in payroll costs.

Описание: Rome City Schools Case Study | Bytecurve Payroll & Dispatching Solution

Managing student transportation has never been more complex. Between driver shortages, strict payroll requirements, and the constant need for flexibility in dispatching, transportation directors across the country are being asked to do more with less. Rome City Schools in Georgia faced these same challenges—and decided to modernize their operations with Bytecurve.

This case study video walks you through Rome City Schools’ journey: how they moved away from manual, error-prone processes, embraced Bytecurve’s intuitive payroll and dispatch platform, and created a smoother experience for drivers, office staff, and the payroll department alike.

The Challenge: Managing Transportation Without the Right Tools

Like many school systems, Rome City Schools was stuck in a cycle of paperwork, spreadsheets, and disconnected digital tools. Payroll was slow and vulnerable to errors. Dispatching was manual and time-consuming, especially when a driver called out or a route change was needed. Leaders knew that these inefficiencies weren’t just costing time—they were costing money and creating frustration for staff.

The transportation department wanted a solution that could do three things:

1. *Streamline payroll* so drivers were paid correctly and on time, without constant back-and-forth.
2. *Simplify dispatching* by allowing administrators to quickly substitute drivers and reassign buses without chaos.
3. *Provide accountability and transparency* so every stakeholder—from the transportation office to payroll to district leadership—had clear visibility into what was happening.

Why Bytecurve?

Bytecurve was designed specifically for the K-12 student transportation industry. Unlike generic timekeeping or payroll platforms, Bytecurve understands the realities of bus drivers, substitutes, and union rules.

Time & Attendance Integration: Drivers could clock in only at appropriate times, preventing time inflation and saving the district money.

Smart Dispatching: With just a few clicks, administrators could reassign a driver or substitute on the fly, without losing track of payroll rules or assignments.

Compliance Made Simple: Whether it was union agreements, state regulations, or district policies, Bytecurve allowed Rome City Schools to configure pay codes and rules to match their requirements.

Transparency for Payroll:** Every hour was automatically logged, verified, and available for payroll staff to review—cutting days off the payroll process.

The Results: Faster, Cleaner, More Accurate Operations

After rolling out Bytecurve, Rome City Schools saw immediate improvements. Payroll that used to take days of chasing down timesheets, reconciling spreadsheets, and answering constant questions could now be processed in a fraction of the time.

Errors dropped dramatically. Drivers were no longer frustrated by missing hours or delayed checks. Dispatchers could handle last-minute changes without confusion. Administrators could see real-time data on who was working, when, and where.

In the words of one transportation leader:
“Bytecurve has given us back control. What used to feel like a scramble every week is now a system we can trust.”

Broader Impact: Why This Matters for Every School District

Rome City Schools’ story isn’t unique. Across the U.S., transportation departments are being stretched to their limits. The driver shortage continues, budgets are tight, and expectations for safety, accountability, and efficiency keep rising.

Bytecurve steps into that gap. By automating the most time-consuming parts of payroll and dispatch, districts can free their teams to focus on what matters most: ensuring students are transported safely and reliably every single day.
