School bus GPS tracking

Know when your child gets on, and gets there.

Parents see the bus coming to their own stop and get an alert when their child taps on and off. Schools see every bus, driver and attendance record on one screen.

RFID attendance

Every child counted, on and off.

Attendance happens by itself. No registers, no phone calls, and a daily report for the school.

  1. 01

    Tap on

    Student taps their card when boarding. The parent is notified instantly.

  2. 02

    Ride

    Live location all the way. Overspeed and route-change alerts go to the school.

  3. 03

    Tap off

    Got-off alert to the parent, with time and place.

  4. 04

    Final check

    If anyone hasn't tapped off at the end of the trip, the transport desk is alerted.

For the transport desk

Problems first. Then everything else.

The dashboard opens with what needs action: a late bus, an overspeed, a device gone quiet. Totals, the live map and reports follow.

FAQ

Questions schools and parents ask

What does a parent see?

Only their own child's bus, stop, ETA and boarding alerts. Parents cannot see other children, other stops or the route roster.

Do we need to buy new GPS devices?

Not if your buses already have AIS-140 certified devices. We support certified third-party devices, or we can supply our own unit with an RFID reader and panic button.

How does RFID attendance work?

Each student taps a card when boarding and getting off. Parents get an alert, the school gets a daily attendance report, and the transport desk is alerted if anyone hasn't tapped off at the end of a trip.

Where does the panic alert go?

To the school transport desk and linked parents, and to the state control room in states where we are integrated. The compliance page lists those states.

How is children's data protected?

Parental consent first, data stored in India, each role limited to what it needs, and an audit log. Our privacy notice explains retention in plain language, in line with the DPDP Act, 2023.
