TIMS and ZEB fleets – Frequently Asked Questions

What is TIMS and how does it support ZEB fleets?

TIMS is Trapeze’s bus-specific Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution. It helps operators manage daily workflows for Workforce Management, Daily Operations, Fleet and Workshop, and Finance and Payroll, and supports Zero Emission Bus (ZEB) fleets through features like charge-aware planning, CMS integration, and EV-specific decision support.

Can TIMS integrate with third-party Charge Management Systems (CMS)?

Yes. TIMS offers clean, reliable interfaces for data exchange with CMS platforms. It can share charge plans and receive real-time State of Charge (SoC) data to support smarter vehicle allocations.

How does TIMS help prevent service disruptions with ZEBs?

TIMS flags mismatches between a vehicle’s charge status and its assigned shift. This alerting capability allows teams to take early action and avoid potential service issues.

Is TIMS suitable for operators transitioning from diesel to electric fleets?

Absolutely. TIMS is built with ZEB readiness in mind, helping operators confidently shift from legacy vehicles to BEBs while maintaining operational efficiency.
