Challenges

Before adopting Xurrent IMR, Chalo's engineers were managing incidents the way a lot of fast-growing teams do — by cobbling together whatever was available.

Challenge 1: Slack as the only war room

Challenge 2: Alert noise with no filter

Challenge 3: Five tools, zero coordination

Challenge 4: No clear alert ownership

Solution

Solution 1: Unified alert management
AppOptics, Datadog, Pingdom, email, and Chalo's custom ticketing system now feed into one place.

Solution 2: Intelligent alert routing
Alert rules filter, prioritize, and route notifications to the right engineer automatically.

Solution 3: Slack-native incident response
The Slack integration Chalo's team already lived in became an actual incident management surface.

Solution 4: Migration-ready for acquired teams
When Chalo acquired Shuttle (using PagerDuty) and a Google-internal team (uisng Opsgenie), Xurrent IMR's migration scripts automated the entire transfer.

India's #1 bus transport app runs on real-time data. When something breaks, millions of commuters feel it. Here's how Chalo went from managing incidents in a Slack channel to resolving them in under 15 minutes — with zero SLA breaches.

Keeping Millions of Commuters on Schedule — One Real-Time Update at a Time

Chalo is India's #1 bus transport technology company. Their app gives riders live updates on bus location, speed, and estimated arrival — so passengers can plan journeys confidently and stop guessing at the bus stop.

With millions of daily active users depending on real-time accuracy, reliability isn't a nice-to-have. A degraded service means missed buses, frustrated commuters, and broken trust.

To stay ahead of incidents, Chalo needed more than a monitoring tool. They needed a system that would catch problems before commuters did.

"For us, onboarding was straightforward. The tools we were already using were part of the integration, making the process seamless. After we onboarded, we acquired a couple of companies — Shuttle was using PagerDuty, and another team was using Opsgenie internally. Their migration was very simple because scripts were shared, allowing all data to be automatically copied and everything to be created effortlessly."
