Connected student transportation platform and fleet operator for school districts
Zūm pairs a real-time coordination platform for school transportation with on-the-ground fleet operations, which is why its hiring skews heavily toward ops rather than engineering. Fleetio and Geotab sit next to TypeScript, Kafka and Kubernetes, and active work on extracting services from a monolith and standing up IT at new contract sites points to a company scaling physical locations and its software architecture at the same time.
