In a dynamic industry where stability can sometimes feel elusive, trust is everything. As we mark our 45th year supporting the Australian tyre and mechanical industry, we are especially proud to announce that Constellation Software Inc., our parent company, has been ranked 5th in the Newsweek 2024 World’s Most Trustworthy Companies for Software & Telecommunications. This remarkable achievement aligns with the values that have been at the core of Megabus’s journey since its inception and reinforces the stability and trust we offer to tyre and mechanical workshops, who remain at the core of everything we do at Megabus. A Legacy of Reliability and Continual Advancement
Megabus was founded in June 1979 with a groundbreaking vision: to revolutionise the automotive aftermarket industry through digital solutions. Our story began with Jeff Malley, a pioneer in Australasia’s tyre industry, who saw the potential for microcomputers to transform business operations, long before personal computers became a household item. From this vision, Megabus created one of the first tyre retailing systems in 1981, developed in Melbourne, Australia, to empower automotive businesses by improving productivity, streamlining operations, and enhancing customer satisfaction.
As our journey progressed, we adapted to the changing technological landscape and, notably, introduced Australia’s first software subscription model. This model opened the door for smaller and independent tyre retailers and wholesalers to access essential digital tools without a heavy upfront investment, enabling businesses of all sizes to benefit from Megabus' suite of software solutions.
Throughout our 45-year journey, Megabus has been driven by a commitment to building dependable software solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of thousands of workshops in the automotive aftermarket industry. Our journey began with a focus on creating cutting-edge software that streamlines operations, empowers growth, and ultimately helps businesses thrive in a competitive landscape. Along the way, we have remained steadfast in our dedication to solving real-world challenges for tyre and mechanical workshops, a focus that continues to be our foundation today.
The Constellation Connection
By 2013, Megabus sought out a partner who shared our vision and commitment to customer-centric innovation. In 2015, this search culminated in our acquisition by Constellation Software Inc. (TSX: CSU), a company renowned for supporting growth-focused software providers across various sectors.
Joining Constellation provided Megabus with the resources and expertise to bring in a new chapter of stability and support while continuing to deliver high-quality software.
Joining Constellation provided Megabus with a wealth of knowledge from over 500 software companies under the Constellation umbrella, each bringing expertise from a multitude of industries. This expansive network strengthens our capabilities and empowers us to deliver high-quality solutions that address the evolving needs of tyre and mechanical workshops.
The recent recognition of Constellation as one of the world’s most trustworthy companies highlights the dedication that underpins every software solution we provide. It is an acknowledgment we are honored to share, as it speaks to the values we uphold here at Megabus: integrity, long-term, and forward-thinking.
