With the Panic Button, BrainPROS gives you the agility and efficiency needed to act in real-time.
BrainPROS offers not only a broader vision and answers to the questions that bus companies have about their market but also a solution that provides greater agility to operational teams to manage resources and perform various actions more efficiently.
In addition to the Pricing Strategy module, which allows companies to easily apply intelligent prices to their routes, BrainPROS also features a Panic Button.
The Panic Button functions as a switch that allows bus companies to deactivate the dynamic prices set in their eCommerce through BrainPROS. With this functionality, companies have three options:
- General shutdown: Activated by pressing the “Disable Discounts” button on the initial screen within the “Routes” menu. This deactivates all discounts for all routes.
- Selected route: Activated by pressing the “Disable Discounts” button to deactivate all active strategies for a specific Origin-Destination pair.
- Selected terminal: Found within one of the terminal combinations within a route. Pressing the “Disable Discounts” button makes the discounts disappear only within the selected terminal combination.
This functionality enables operational teams to react in real-time and more agilely to the behavior of travelers and the market, ensuring higher revenues and ticket sales on different routes. Whether it’s a human error when loading prices or during peak seasons when demand exceeds expectations, Revenue Management, Pricing, Operations, and Marketing teams can ensure greater profitability for travelers by modifying strategies according to market trends at that moment.

We integrate a bus scheme with +100 seats into IAMSA’s eCommerce.
In Reservamos SaaS, we understand the importance of bus companies having fleets of vehicles equipped with the best technology. From safer and more comfortable buses to increased capacity to meet the demand of travelers.
In this regard, fleet renewal represents an opportunity for any bus company to attract more users who are willing to experience more comfortable and pleasant journeys. However, this doesn’t have to become a headache when it comes to updating a bus company’s eCommerce.
Recently, the Mexican company Grupo IAMSA introduced double-decker vehicles with over 100 seats to its fleet under different brands. This led the development and product team at Reservamos SaaS to adapt a new seating diagram on each bus line’s eCommerce platform to display the newly available seating capacity.
This way, travelers can easily and efficiently go through the purchasing process. When selecting their destination and schedule, they can see a diagram and a legend indicating the number of available seats. They can then choose their preferred floor and seat.
A crucial part of the dynamism of the Reservamos SaaS eCommerce platform and the experience our technology teams have in the bus sector is the agile innovation to showcase to travelers the benefits of choosing partners who have our technology in their eCommerce.

The Mexican bus line adds the Pet-Friendly ancillary to its eCommerce to connect with travelers who love to include their furry companions in the adventure.
More and more people around the world are looking for tourism and transportation alternatives that allow them to travel with their pets, and they are willing to pay higher amounts to include their furry friends in their adventures. In Latin America, countries such as Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia have the highest number of households with pets.
In Mexico, the bus company ETN-Turistar, which is part of the IAMSA Group, has implemented Ancillary Pet Friendly, enabling routes with seats so that travelers can include their pets in the journey.
During the purchase process on the ETN-Turistar eCommerce platform, travelers can see the seating diagram with available pet-friendly seats and choose the most suitable one. Upon completing the purchase, pets are identified as passengers on the travel ticket and occupy a seat next to their owner. Similarly, travelers can view these seats and choose the one that best suits their preferences.
The Reservamos SaaS technology and the support of our technology team allow bus companies like ETN-Turistar to adapt their eCommerce platforms to integrate this and other ancillaries, offering unique and innovative travel experiences to their passengers. They can even increase their attractiveness and competitiveness compared to other sectors that have limited this offer, such as airlines.
Through ancillaries such as Pet-Friendly, bus companies can differentiate themselves from their competition, improve traveler satisfaction and loyalty, increase profitability, and diversify their income through additional services that travelers are willing to pay for!
If you also want your company to stay innovative, at Reservamos SaaS we can provide you with the most appropriate advice to help your bus company stand out in the market and better connect with travelers.
