Our Witch Head release takes its name from the Witch Head Nebula (IC 2118), a reflection nebula in the constellation Eridanus. Like the software itself, it's made up of many individual elements working together to create something far greater than the sum of its parts.
The theme also reflects what Echo is designed to do every day.
Fleet optimisation is about bringing together thousands of moving parts - vehicles, drivers, passengers, bookings, traffic, schedules and business rules - and turning them into a coordinated operation.
The Witch Head release introduced several significant enhancements, including:
- Multi-modal journey planning
- Related Job Management
- New service and vehicle icons
Over the coming weeks we'll take a closer look at each of these features and how they help operators manage increasingly complex transport operations.
