Free Trial
For Transit Agencies, Universities, and Private Systems

|
|
Thousands of happy commuters in Massachusetts and beyond love ShuttleGirl™
– and so will your customers. In fact, we're so confident that our software will impress your riders that we're offering a
free trial for your Agency or Organization for
a full six (6) months. During the trial period, we'll set up, deploy, and maintain our best-of-class
handheld schedule software for you to try out our products and services.
You can cancel at any time, and there's absolutely no commitment to
purchase anything.

What You Get
|
|
The trial package (ShuttleGirl™ Handheld for Palm
OS®) includes a
fully functional program file and data file that you can distribute to your
customers. Simply provide us with an electronic copy of your
schedule*, and we'll provide the program and data
file – including these features:
|
|
|
|
Customized version of the software with your choice of product name and
logo (and a customized product tour and download site); e.g. MBTA
Schedule Planner
|
|
|
Pull-down menus of all stops to help riders pinpoint relevant information quickly and
efficiently
|
|
|
"Swap" feature to get there and back again
|
|
|
Three types of searches – "Next 3", "Best Route", or
"All"
|
|
|
Agency and emergency contact information
|
|
|
Information about each station or stop (e.g. directions, accessibility, etc.)
|
|
|
Programmable alarm to remind riders of arrival/departure times
|
|
|
User registration and feedback lets you track the success and value of the
software
|
|
|
Bug-free, tested and approved by thousands of happy users
|
|
Included Services:
|
|
|
Free software updates
|
|
|
Free schedule data file updates (up to one per month)
|
|
You can freely distribute the program and data files to your riders during the
six month free trial. If you like what you see and hear from your
customers, upgrade your trial to a full version (with a licensing fee as low as a
few thousand dollars a year). If not, no hard feelings.
|
|
* Schedule should be in spreadsheet, database, or tabular format (e.g. on
your agency's web site).
|
|
|
|
What's the Catch?
|
|
The catch is that your customers will love ShuttleGirl. Well, and the
trial package doesn't include
system maps or the fare calculator. Otherwise, the free trial is exactly
the same high-quality product and service you can expect from us.
|
|
|
|
What's the Time Commitment?
|
|
You're probably also wondering how much time this will cost your IT staff to set up and deploy.
If we host your customized product tour and download site for you (at
no additional charge), you don't need to do anything. We'll need a
contact at your agency to inform us when schedule and system information
changes and to tell us where to find it.
|
|
|
|
Our Promise
|
|
If you're not satisfied... if thousands and thousands of users don't download,
install, and love ShuttleGirl...
if those users can live without the software... if for any reason you're unhappy or
just decide not to upgrade from the Free Trial – simply cancel at any
time.
|
|
But we're betting you won't.
