Ferdia X Microlise

End-to-end fleet management in the PSV sector

We’ve partnered with fleet intelligence, telematics and compliance solution Microlise to help bring greater visibility, efficiency and control to coach operators.

For many operators, day-to-day activity still relies on manual processes, spreadsheets and disconnected systems. At the same time, rising costs, tighter margins and increasing customer expectations mean teams are under pressure to do more with the resources they already have.

By bringing together our coach operations software with Microlise's fleet intelligence, telematics and compliance solutions, we’re helping operators connect the commercial and operational sides of their business, from booking and planning through to vehicle performance, driver activity and compliance.

Bringing disconnected operations together

The coach industry is complex. Operators need to manage bookings, quotations, pricing, vehicles, drivers, customer expectations and compliance, often across multiple systems that do not always speak to each other.

This partnership has been designed to simplify that picture.

Our platform supports the day-to-day running of coach operations, Microlise's technology provides real-time visibility of fleet activity, driver performance and compliance. Together, the integrated solution gives operators a clearer, more connected view of what is happening across their business.

That means less time spent switching between systems, fewer manual processes and greater confidence in the decisions being made every day.

Turning insight into better decisions

With commercial planning connected to live vehicle and driver data, coach operators can gain a more complete understanding of performance across their operation.

The combined solution supports smarter planning, improved fleet utilisation, stronger compliance and more informed reporting. It also gives teams access to actionable insights that can help reduce costs, improve efficiency and deliver a more seamless customer experience.

Research shows that organisations adopting automated planning can reduce scheduling time by up to 70% and operating costs by up to 25%, as well as significantly improving resource utilisation.

For operators looking to modernise, the opportunity is clear: digitise the processes that slow teams down, connect the data that matters and create a single source of truth across the operation.

‍Built around how coach operators really work

Ferdia was founded inside a real coach operation and has been co-developed with customers ever since. That means the platform is shaped around the day-to-day realities of running a coach business, from quote to invoice.

Combined with our experience in fleet technology and compliance, the partnership gives operators a connected solution built around real operational needs, helping teams reduce manual admin, improve visibility and turn everyday work into more measurable commercial outcomes.

Speaking on the new partnership, Nadeem Raza, CEO at Microlise, said: “Coach operators are facing increasing pressure to do more with less, but many are still working with disconnected systems that limit visibility and efficiency.

“By partnering with Ferdia, we’re bringing together two complementary technologies to help operators make better decisions, improve fleet performance and build more resilient businesses.”

Daniel Morton, Country Manager at Ferdia, added: “Ferdia’s partnership with Microlise provides coach operators with a best-in-class solution on both systems. We already have several clients using both Ferdia and Microlise saving time in manual data entry and reaping the benefits of a connected platform.”

Supporting the future of coach operations

This partnership supports Microlise's continued growth within the public service vehicle sector, while helping Ferdia extend its reach into the UK market.

More importantly, it reflects a shared focus on helping coach operators move away from fragmented processes and towards smarter, more connected ways of working.

Together, we’re helping operators gain the visibility and confidence they need to run more efficient, compliant and customer-focused operations.
