Customers and emails for bus operators
Charter bus CRM, every customer email on time.
Every customer on one timeline, every email sent on time in your words, and proof it arrived. Charter, shuttle and tour customers on one list.
$40 per bus per month, with a 30-day free trial.
WHAT IT IS
GridOps is a charter bus CRM for bus and coach companies in Canada and the US: every customer’s quotes, trips, payments and emails on one timeline, with the routine emails sent for you.
It replaces the shared inbox, the spreadsheet of past groups and the reminders someone has to remember to send.
Every enquiry becomes a Lead, every quote has its own reply thread, and about 28 automatic emails go out on time in your wording and with your logo. You see which were delivered, opened or bounced, and why.
Your day, changed
What changes when customer emails run through GridOps?
The same seven moments with every customer. Step through them to see what changes.
Customers and emails
How does GridOps keep every customer in the loop?
By keeping each customer’s whole history in one place and sending the right email at the right moment, in your words. You always know what they got, and what they said back.
01
Every customer, one timeline
Quotes, trips, payments and emails together.
Every enquiry saved as a Lead, even with just a phone number.
Quotes, bookings, payments, emails, reviews and notes on one timeline.
Internal notes on the customer that they never see.
Customers manage their own email preferences on a self-service page.
02
Conversations that stay on the quote
Two-way messaging, by email.
Message a customer from the quote. It goes out as a real email.
Their reply lands back on the quote, and is forwarded to you.
One inbox for customers, drivers, your team and anyone else.
Send a one-off email to anyone from the same place.
03
Emails that send themselves
About 28 of them, in your words.
Reword the automatic emails with a live preview, your logo and your colours.
Trip reminders at the times you set, plus deposit and balance reminders.
Receipts, refund confirmations and a driver assigned email.
Most emails can be reworded. Booking confirmations use a fixed wording.
04
Proof, not guesses
Honest delivery status on every email.
Delivered, opened, clicked or bounced, for every email.
A bounced email says why, like a full mailbox.
Never marked as sent when it wasn’t.
Quote follow-ups stop the moment the customer acts.
What do customers get for charters, shuttles and tours?
The same timeline and the same honest delivery status, with the emails each kind of trip needs.

Questions operators ask about customer emails
Does GridOps send text messages?
No. GridOps sends email only. Every message, reminder and receipt goes by email, with a delivery status you can see.
Can customers reply to a quote email?
Yes. Each quote has its own reply address. The customer’s reply lands on the quote and is forwarded to you.
Can I change the wording of automatic emails?
Yes, most of them, with a live preview and your logo and colours. Booking confirmations use a fixed wording.
How do I know an email arrived?
Every email shows delivered, opened, clicked or bounced. A bounce says why, such as a full mailbox.
Does GridOps ask for Google reviews?
Yes, after the trip, with one reminder. Low ratings alert you first and offer a private feedback box, and every customer can still reach your Google page.
What happens to people who leave my booking form halfway?
They’re emailed a link to finish where they left off.
Can I see everything about one customer?
Yes. Their quotes, bookings, payments, emails, reviews and notes sit on one timeline.
Can customers unsubscribe?
Yes. Customers manage their own email preferences from a self-service page.
Do follow-ups stop when the customer acts?
Yes. Quote follow-ups stop the moment the customer acts on the quote.
Is this a separate CRM I pay for?
No. Customer records and emails come with GridOps at one price per bus.
