Every bus-vendor invoice, checked against the service you actually got.
RouteLedger reads each transportation vendor invoice, matches it to the routes and service records for that day, clears the ones that reconcile, and sends only real discrepancies to your team with a resolution clock. Built for districts drowning in manual invoice review.
Built by JS Technology Solutions, a firm with deep, hands-on experience operating inside a large district's Oracle iSupplier billing environment, and the team that designed this system to a major district's transportation-billing requirements.
Reconciliation that runs the moment invoices arrive, not at month-end.
The whole point is to stop paying for service that wasn't delivered, without adding staff. Four steps, running continuously.
Ingest
Invoices land from every vendor through standard file exchange. No vendor has to change how they bill you.
Match
Each line is checked against the routes assigned and the service actually recorded that day from your routing and GPS data.
Clear
Invoices that reconcile are approved automatically and flow to your accounts-payable system, cleanly logged.
Resolve
Only true discrepancies reach staff, with the reason attached and an SLA clock, so people work the exceptions, not the whole pile.
Not a picture of an idea. The working interface.
Staff live in two views: a reconciliation dashboard showing what cleared and what didn't, and an exception view that hands them the evidence and the fix.

Rate over contractProduct preview on sample data. Live screens are configured to your own vendors and systems during setup.
The full vendor-billing workload, handled.
Invoice review at any scale
From a handful of vendors to thousands, from hundreds of invoices a month to tens of thousands. The engine doesn't tire.
Service-verified validation
Every invoice is measured against routes assigned and service actually delivered, not just the contract rate on paper.
Same-day discrepancy detection
Problems surface the day they happen with a resolution clock, instead of being discovered a month later, or never.
Vendor accountability dashboards
Accuracy, on-time performance, SLA adherence and automation rate per vendor, with periodic scorecards you can act on.
Spend visibility and forecasting
See where transportation dollars go across vendors, and forecast the budget with data instead of guesswork.
A managed exception channel
Optional: our team owns the discrepancy investigations so your staff don't chase vendors down at all.
Works with what you already run.
RouteLedger sits alongside your existing systems and exchanges data through standard, file-based transfers. Nothing gets ripped out, and you are never locked to one vendor's API.
System-agnostic by design
Districts run different routing tools, different GPS providers, different ERPs. RouteLedger is built to meet each of them through file-based exchange, so a change of vendor never breaks your billing controls.
Already on a specific stack? We confirm the exact data-exchange mapping during a short scoping call before anything goes live.
Mature enough for a district IT-security review, from day one.
This is financial infrastructure, not a chatbot. It is built to clear the reviews a serious district requires before anything touches student data or a payment.
Student-data privacy
Designed to student-data-protection standards, with data minimization and access controls appropriate to education records.
Full audit trail
Every clearance and every exception is logged with its reason, so a payment can always be traced back to the evidence.
Security-review ready
Vendor security assessment and IT risk-evaluation materials prepared up front, so procurement and InfoSec aren't a surprise.
A rounding error next to what you spend on buses.
Published, flat, and small on purpose. The exception desk, where the real labor sits, is a separate add-on so the platform price stays honest.

Two ways in. Neither requires you to run a year-long RFP.
Cooperative purchasing
Buy through a cooperative contract your district already uses, so procurement is pre-competed. No new solicitation to write, no multi-year commitment to justify. Ask us which co-op vehicle fits your state.

Do our vendors have to change how they bill us?
No. Invoices arrive exactly the way they do today. RouteLedger reads them through standard file exchange, so nothing changes on the vendor side.
What if more than expected become exceptions?
Exceptions are categorized by cause. Vendor and billing issues are the ones we act on; upstream data-entry problems are reported separately, so the automation rate reflects real vendor performance, not your intake.
How does it handle student data?
Data is minimized to what reconciliation needs, access is role-based, and every action is logged. We hand you the vendor security assessment and IT risk materials up front for review.
Do we need to run an RFP?
Usually not. RouteLedger is available through cooperative purchasing contracts your district may already use, so procurement is pre-competed. We point you to the right vehicle for your state.
How fast can we be live?
A scoped pilot runs in weeks, not quarters. We confirm your data-exchange mappings, connect the files, and start clearing invoices on real cycles.
What does the price actually include?
The platform subscription covers the full reconciliation engine, dashboards and scorecards. The optional managed exception desk, where our team owns the vendor chase, is quoted separately so the platform price stays flat and predictable.
